CCS 3.1 Build Issues

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi,

I am having problems trying to build a CCS project that I have been given by a partner company. They have no problems building the code, however when I attempt to build the code, completely unaltered, I get the following errors (that the partner company does not get when comparing log files). I wish to be able to build the code on my own PC with the intent of eventually taking updating the code in-house.

(We are both using XDS510PP JTAG Emulators, CCS 3.1 and Windows XP.)

Error, Don't know how to build file "C:\CCStudio_v3.1\MyProjects\ae2 08-11-12\ae2\ae2cfg.tcf"

"init.c", line 1179: error: argument of type "va_list" is incompatible with parameter of type "char *"
1 error detected in the compilation of "init.c".

"main_ae2.c", line 15: fatal error: could not open source file "ae2cfg.h"
1 fatal error detected in the compilation of "main_ae2.c".
Compilation terminated.

As far as I understand, it looks like "ae2cfg.tcf" is at least causing some of my problems. It is the only of my project files that is in the "Documents" folder, which is not what I would expect. (Please see attached screenshot). Is this relevant to the problem at hand? If not are there any other suggestions as to things I may have missed?

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Please take a look at this related thread. After re-registering the dlls as mentioned there, go into Help->About->Component Manager and make sure that the following components are enabled (check box enabled):
    -  Project Manager component under Texas Instruments Inc.
    -  appropriate device/version of Build Tools and Target Content

  • Hi,

    I was able to re-register projsvr.dll, but I could not re-register btiarm.dll, I got the error "LoadLibrary ("regsvr32") failed - The specified module could not be found. Since I am using c5509A dsp I registered bti5500Cbd.dll instead which worked fine. (The bios and code gen tools version in component manager matches the versions in the "about" menu.) After performing these steps, ae2cfg.tcf is still in the documents folder, and building fails the same as before.

    Thanks for looking into this for me. Are there any other suggestions?

  • Did you make sure to restart CCS after re-registering the dlls? If not, could you close CCS, re-register them and restart CCS? Also was there a bti5500.dll as well in the \C5500\cgtools\bin folder along with bti5500Cbd.dll? If so, could you try re-registering that one as well?

    I definately restarted CCS after re-registering, however I tried closing CCS completely and re-registering, but to no avail. I also registered bti5500.dll but also did not help. Thanks for your help though.

  • Hi,

    Incase anyone else has this problem, I sorted it by doing the following

    1. Close all instances of Code Composer Studio and the CCS Component Manager.
    2. http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_registered_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/index.html - Download and install version 5.20 (bottom of the list).
    3. Go to ‘C:\CCStudio_v3.1’ and run ‘DosRun.bat’.
    4. Then go to the ‘CCS Component Manager’, select ‘TMS320C55XX’ under ‘Target Content (DSP/BIOS)’, then ensure that ‘Texas Instruments DSP/BIOS <5.20>’ is selected.
    5. Go to ‘C:\CCStudio_v3.1\C5500\dsplib\include’ and rename ‘stdio.h’ to ‘m_stdio.h’ (this fixes the va_list error)
    6. Go to ‘C:\CCStudio_v3.1’ and run ‘DosRun.bat’.
    7.  Open Code Composer Studio and attempt to compile the code.
