Linker Issue CCS V5 Unresolved Symbols Constantly Changing

Hi Patrick,

are you trying to import and example?  Could you post the exact error you see/console output?

From your description a couple things come to mind as likely.   It could be you still need to clean up an include path or variable (see the wikis below) or else perhaps is this is from Stellariware .. it is possible you are not bringing in a needed library.    Ie you might be importing or creating a project and bringing in a couple libraries but missing one.

Please keep us informed.

Lisa,

No I'm trying to create a brand new project, below you'll see the exact text from my console. Also I just noticed that while my console has been throwing consistent errors my "problems" area has been changing my error report, a little bit miss leading.

**** Build of configuration Debug for project Serial_test ****

 Also if it helps I'm going to paste in all of my includes in the file main.c as well as all of the include directory search paths.

In file:

#include "inc/hw_types.h"
#include "inc/hw_memmap.h"

#include "driverlib/sysctl.h"
#include "driverlib/gpio.h"
#include "driverlib/ssi.h"
#include "driverlib/timer.h" 
#include "driverlib/pin_map.h" 
#include "driverlib/adc.h"
#include "driverlib/i2c.h"

Search directory paths:

"${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/include"
"C:\StellarisWare\driverlib"
"C:\StellarisWare"
"C:\StellarisWare\boards\ek-lm4f120xl"

Thanks for all the help, also I know I have over defined my includes I planned on implementing them later and didn't want to forget them later on, that shouldn't be an issue I don't think.

Hi Patrick,

please also check the include paths and options as per the wiki I sent you.  The errors you get still suggest this type of issue.  CCS/your project needs to know where to find these files.  You need to check there .

Hope that will help.

Best REgards,

Lisa,

I did try to follow those instructions to the T. I have all the projects that come with the stellaris launchpad in my workspace and they work fine. I'm using project0 as a basis because the GPIO on this project works fine. When I look at linked resources there are 2 path variables that are in this project but not the one I'm currently working on. The directories for these are "${ORIGINAL_PROJECT_ROOT}\..\..\..\.." and "C:\StellarisWare\boards\ek-lm4f120xl\project0\ccs" The first one I've tried using in my current project but it doesn't seem to like the ${ORIGINAL... name convention so I'm stuck there. The other one really doesn't make sense to put into my project because all I should need is the current working directory there is nothing for my custom project in this directory. Do I maybe need to copy some of the defualt settings from this directory into mine? 

To my understanding I shouldn't need to important any projects into this one because it is a fresh project. However, I can understand maybe needing to import projects like the USB ones that must be in any workspace for Stellaris to work to my understanding.

Thanks again for dealing with my likely really beginner question but, it's very frustrating that the thing that's keeping me from experimenting with my launchpad is something a silly as linker errors.

Hi Patrick,

very happy to hear!

Thanks for the update and all the best with development.

best regards,
Lisa

Hello!

I too am stuck at a similar problem.

Copied code from the TM4C123G Launchpad , PinMUX utility.

Though none of the includes shows "?" besides them, however, its giving errors like the following :

unresolved symbol SysCtlPeripheralEnable, first referenced in ./main.obj    Basic             C/C++ Problem
unresolved symbol GPIOPinTypeGPIOOutput, first referenced in ./main.obj    Basic             C/C++ Problem

The code is as below :

/*
 * main.c
 */

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include "New.h"
#include "inc/hw_types.h"
#include "inc/hw_memmap.h"
#include "inc/hw_gpio.h"
#include "driverlib/sysctl.h"
#include "driverlib/pin_map.h"
#include "driverlib/rom_map.h"
#include "driverlib/gpio.h"

//*****************************************************************************
void
PortFunctionInit(void)
{
    //
    // Enable Peripheral Clocks
    //
    MAP_SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOA);
    MAP_SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOD);

    //
    // Enable pin PA4 for GPIOOutput
    //
    MAP_GPIOPinTypeGPIOOutput(GPIO_PORTA_BASE, GPIO_PIN_4);

    //
    // Enable pin PA5 for GPIOOutput
    //
    MAP_GPIOPinTypeGPIOOutput(GPIO_PORTA_BASE, GPIO_PIN_5);

    //
    // Enable pin PD7 for GPIOOutput
    //

    //
    //First open the lock and select the bits we want to modify in the GPIO commit register.
    //
    HWREG(GPIO_PORTD_BASE + GPIO_O_LOCK) = GPIO_LOCK_KEY;
    HWREG(GPIO_PORTD_BASE + GPIO_O_CR) = 0x80;

    //
    //Now modify the configuration of the pins that we unlocked.
    //
    MAP_GPIOPinTypeGPIOOutput(GPIO_PORTD_BASE, GPIO_PIN_7);
}

int main(void) {
    
    return 0;
}

The include directories are (in the Show Build Settinggs in CCSv5 ):

"${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/include"

"C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.0.12573"

Can somebody please help me?

Thanks!
