c2000 F28035 - Simulink Error

Hi all,

I am working to use Simulink's Embedded Target to generate and deliver C code to CCS for prototyping on our F28035 Experimenters Kit.  When we running the commands "ticcs" to start the process  or "checkEnvSetup('ccs','F28035','check')" to confirm compatibility we are getting the following error:

You cannot invoke TICCS on a 64-Bit Microsoft(R) Windows(R) platform.

The IDE Link adaptor for use with Texas Instruments(TM) Code Composer Studio(TM) is not

supported on this platform.

"mexext" returns:

mexw64

I am running MATLAB 2011a  64bit  and Code Composer Studio 5.2 on Windows 7 64 bit. We implemented the CCS4 -> CCS5 workaround discussed on these forums which involved editing the XMakeFile in MATLAB.

Is there something else that I should do to ensure compatibility or do I need to find a 32bit PC to use for our project?

Thank you,

Adam

  • Hi Adam,

    unfortunately this is third party software so 64 bit support must come from them.  Have you tried their forums or compatibility mode?

    If not you may have to double check on a 32 bit machine and go from there.  Note some mathworks/matlab plug-ins may not have the full support you hope in CCSv5.

  • Thanks for the quick reply.  Do you think I would have better luck with CCSv4? I would rather not create a new partition for a 32 bit version of the same OS just for this project.

    Thanks,

    Adam

  • Hi Adam,

    you could certainly install v4 as well.  You could install it into a separate directory and then wouldn't have to uninstall 5.  The support might be a bit better at the moment, but I would hope Mathworks will continue to update and work towards stronger compatibility with Eclipse/CCS.  The strongest support was actually back in v3.3 but this is not officially supported in Win7 so agian ... compatibility modes etc creep up.

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Lisa,

    We are still getting the same results using v4.  We have tried to find a copy of v3.3 but it appears that all of the download links have been removed from your site.  If you could provide us with v3.3, we would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Adam

  • Hi Adam,

    may I please first confirm the type of license you have/use?  Do you have a full v5 license?  Or v4 etc ...

    Best regards,
    Lisa

  • We are shooting for the file size limited license, which is what I believe is the version of v4 that came with our kit.  We are undergraduate students working on our senior design project, we don't have the means to purchase a full license.

    Thanks,

    Adam

  • Also, a MathWorks rep advised me to download SPRC892 which is necessary for the for the IDE link between CCS and ML.  It says that it is for XP, 2000, etc. but not Win 7.  Do you know if there is an equivalent for Win 7?  I haven't had an opportunity to try it yet as I am not at my PC.


    This package is found at:

  • Hi Adam,

    ok I have been allowed to setup a special offlink link for you so will be sending a friend request.  Please remember officially v3.3 is not supported on Win 7 as I mentioned so you may need compatibility mode etc.

  • Hi Lisa,

    I'm working with Adam on the same project and everything seemed to be working fine: we were working with CCS v3.3 on windows 7 32bit version. However, unexpectedly our control card Piccolo F2803x is not able to connect anymore to Code Composer Studio. I have installed and uninstalled CCS several times, but it just does not do anything. My computer does recognize the DSP controller.Do you know what can we do about it?

    Thank you,

    Carolina

  • The error I get is this one:

    Error connecting to the target:
    Error 0x80000200/-1041
    Fatal Error during: OCS, 
    Device driver: Problem with the Emulation Controller.
    It is recommended to RESET EMULATOR.  This will disconnect each 
    target from the emulator.  The targets should then be power cycled
    or hard reset followed by an emureset and reconnect to each target.
    I/O Port = 0
    Board Name: F28035 XDS100USB
    Cpu Name: TMS320C2800_0
    Abort: Close Code Composer Studio.
    Retry: Try to connect to the target again.
    Cancel: Remain disconnected from the target
    Diagnostic: Run diagnostic utility.
  • Hi Carolina,

    I would check permissions, drivers (ie device manager) and general JTAG connectivity as a first step. Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

  • HI Lisa, 

    We have noticed that one of the pins of the JTAG fell off. It seemed to be a solder malfunction. We have not been able to find the pin. Is it possible that this is the cause of it?
    If so, what can be done about it? Is there anything that the company can do about it?

    When I have been working with it, I noticed that LED1 in the controlCARD and the docking station would light up, but now just the docking station lights up. The card gets really warm after I connect it for a bit.

  • Hi Carolina,

    yes this is more than likely what could be causing the connection issue. 

    If you do want to enquire about possible help regarding the board I would contact one of the following

    - your FAE

    - the university program/your professor

    - the distributor or source of your board purchase

    All the best with things.

    Best Regards,
