CCS5 Can not open tcf file after import from a legacy CCS 3.3 project.

Allen Guo

Hello,

I converted a CCS 3.3 project to a CCS 5 project and tried to open the tcf file in CCS5. I got the following error messages from a popup window.

js: "C:/ti/bios_5_41_13_42/packages/ti/bios/config/bios_6416.tci", line 87: Error: Can't find configuration seed: ti/bios/config/cdb/c64xx.cdb

Correct any script errors in E:/Allen/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.rtsc.xdctools.buildDefinitions.DSPBIOS/.gconf/EXVBS/EXVBS/CDMA_EVDO.tcf
using the Configuration Tool or a text editor, if necessary.

TConf initialization arguments:
-e environment['config.importPath']='E:/Allen/EXVBS;C:/ti/bios_5_41_13_42/packages' -e environment['config.scriptName']='CDMA_EVDO.tcf'

When I tried to build the project. It gave me following error messages.

C:\ti\ccsv5\utils\bin\gmake -k all

'Building file: ../CDMA_EVDO.tcf'
'Invoking: TConf'
"C:/ti/xdctools_3_23_03_53/tconf" -b -Dconfig.importPath="C:/ti/bios_5_41_13_42/packages;" "../CDMA_EVDO.tcf"
js: "C:/ti/bios_5_41_13_42/packages/ti/bios/config/bios_6416.tci", line 87: Error: Can't find configuration seed: ti/bios/config/cdb/c64xx.cdb
gmake: *** [CDMA_EVDOcfg.cmd] Error 1
gmake: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

It shows me the same errors even with CCS5's own examples. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the help,

Allen

Hi Allen,

Was your 3.3 project using the version of BIOS that comes with CCSv3.3 (5.31.02)?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

The BIOS version is 5.41.07.24 on CCS v3.3. On CCS v5, it is converted to 5.41.13.42 automatically. Yesterday, I copied my project to anther computer with CCS v5 and it worked perfectly. So I guess it may be some setting issues in CCS v5. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Allen

Well the error is complaining about:

"Error: Can't find configuration seed: ti/bios/config/cdb/c64xx.cdb"

Does that file exist on the machine with the problem?

Hi Ki,

I searched whole folder for c64xx.cdb and compared my two computers. Yes, the bad computer does miss this file. It should be located at "C:\ti\bios_5_41_13_42\packages\ti\bios\config\cdb". After I copied the file to this folder, it backs to normal.

Thank you for you help,

Allen

Ok glad to hear it is working now. Are there any other files in that cdb folder? I'm curious how that file got missing.

Thanks

There are 30+ cdb files in that folder, covering a variety of DSP families. In my case, CCSv5 froze during the project conversion from v3.3 to v5, and I had to kill the software by using Windows Task Manager. I think since then, the file got missing.

Thanks,

Allen

Hi,

I suddenly had the same problem, the C64xx.cdb file was missing.

This file always gets deleted when I try to convert an old .cdb bios configuration file to the .tcf format. The generated file seems OK, but the conversion stops with an error message.
