Build-configuration 'Debug' does not exist

Hi Dieter,

As this query is related to CCS, moving your post to CCS forum. You might get better assistance there.

Regards,

Shankari.

Hi Dieter,

what target and ccsv5 version are you using?  Have you tried the same example built into ccsv5?

Can you verify you imported the project as a CCS project?  Project->import existing ccs/eclipse project.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hello Lisa,

I got this picture

The CCS is  5.3.0.00090 and the target is TMS320VC5505 eZdsp USB Stick. The LED example is coming from a folder, which is created, when you install CCSv4, which was delivered on the DVD as a part of the bundle.

I don't know how to interprete the message in the console. From where shall I get an existing build-configuration? From the origin CCSv4 installation (I made this installation on a different notebook)?

Best regards

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

the image is not there.  Can you please try again?  Also what exact steps are you taking?  did you try an example built into v5.3?

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

oh, I thought just drag & drop would bring the picture. Okay, I attached it.

The steps were identical to the items in the Quickstart guide of the DVD:

5.0 Running the VC5505 eZDSP USB Stick LED Blink Demonstration
1. The VC5505 eZDSP USB Stick must be connected in CCS before proceeding. If the
board is not connected, please refer to section 4.0 of this guide.
2. Click “File->Import”.
3. When the new window appears, expand “CCS” and select “Existing CCS/CCE
Eclipse Project”. Click “Next”.
4. Select “Select Root Directory” and click the “Browse” button. Browse to directory path
“<Install_Dir>\ccsv4\emulation\boards\usbstk5505\tests\led”.
The default <Install_Dir> is “C:\programfiles\Texas Instruments”
5. Highlight the “LED” folder and click “OK”. Then click “finish”
6. Click “View->C/C++Projects”. A new tab will appear in the CCS v4 window and there
should be a LED project visible.
7. Click “Project->Build Active Project”.
8. When the build is complete, a message will print in the Console Window.

But it seems something is missing. No, I did not a test from within the CCSv5 installation itself yet. But I can try it.

Best regards

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

these examples come from the product group so it is possibe they did not create a debug configuration, which would be odd. 

Could you send the project for us to try/look at here?  Or directions to the specific example?  As mentioned there might be an equivalent example built into ccsv5.

Can you confirm there is a ccxml file included in the project?

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hello Lisa,

I attached a superior folder of the example "LED" as Zipfile. As far as I have seen, there is no ccxml file inside.

5488.usbstk5505_v1.zip

I used the CCSv5 installation, because the DVD's installation v4 did not run for the eZdsp stick on my notebook with Win 7 / 64 Bit, as the USB drivers have not been loaded. But I have an older notebook with Win XP, on which I have this DVD version installed and where it works okay, at least I was able to get an out-file from LED there and I was able to load it into the stick. But on my Win 7 notebook, there is the problem with building a compilation. Maybe it would be an idea to search for the ccxml file there and make a copy for the Win 7 notebook?

Best regards

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

thanks for sending that.  I was able to reproduce the issue and this is how you work around/correct it.

You also need to import the usbstk5505bsl project into the workspace and make sure that the led project has dependencies on it.

You can import the usbstk5505bsl project in the same manner (project->import exsisting ccs/eclipse project).

You can add/verify the dependecy by making sure the led project is selected and going to project->properties->CCS Build-> dependencies tab

Please give the above a try and keep us informed.  When I build I still end up with a couple warnings but no errors and no error about the debug configuration.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

thanks a lot for your assistance. I will try it later on and will answer how it went.

Best Regards

Dieter

Hello Lisa,

I worked again at the issue this weekend and still without any success.

I did the following: On my notebook with CCSv4 and Win XP I exported the LED project. Content is visible in the last pic. Then I imported the whole project to the other notebook with CCSv5 and Win 7 / 64 Bit.

After the Build project I have a screen like the upper pic with the build error message again. I have to explain, that the files which are listed in the build message console, are with the German sentence "xxx konnte nicht gefunden werden", which means "xxx could not be found." The paths are exactly how I placed the project files.

The middle picture shows the build dependencies properties, which I selected and activated.

The stick itself was connected and also communication was connected, but I think, this does not matter anyway, as the build must be possible even without any hardware outside.

Can it be, that the paths are too far away from the compiler's level? I am not sure, but there is something still missing besides my know-how.

Best regards

Dieter

Hallo Dieter,

ich kann eigentlich Deutsch :  )

I see you did not import the usbstk5505bs project as well and add the dependancy as I suggested.  Please do that and keep us informed.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

sorry, but I am lost and don't know what to do and how. I made the file import, but apparently not the right way. Ti's development environment is quite complex, isn't it?

Best Regards

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

as mentioned:

You can import the usbstk5505bsl project in the same manner (project->import exsisting ccs/eclipse project).

You can add/verify the dependecy by making sure the led project is selected and going to project->properties->CCS Build-> dependencies tab

Please give that a try.

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

next try, two weeks later. Sorry, I get always the same result with no success. To import from the project menu is not possible at all in my CCS. I imported only from File/import. But this way I encounter always the same result. To import I just have the shown files available. There must be something missing, but what, I don't know.

I imported a project for the Piccolo LaunchPad 2000 from the control suite, but there are no examples for the eZdsp kit and no LED project either.

Best regards

Dieter

Hello Lisa,

that is what I get, when open the Dependendies:

I selected this "Dependency" and made a build, but still with the sdame problem.

Best regards

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

did you import the usb library project?  I don't see it as a listed project.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

how shall this look like?

I imported from the LED folder and it is visible with all sources at the left under the project explorer. Is it possible to show me step by step how you imported the stuff, please? By the way, is it possible to export a build-configuration from the CCSv4, which is running on my old system? What is different to CCSv5 regarding that build-configuration?

Best regards

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

please see the attached word document.

Hello Lisa,

sorry for my delay again, I was stressed by some vacation. ;-)

I have to be thankful very much -- and yes, this worked very well. There was just a small warning remaining, when Build was finished, and this was just about a version discrepancy. But the Out was created in the binary section. Great! Maybe now I understood a bit more than before.

The whole project is about an article in a magazine. I want to make an implementation of a FIR filter with a starterkit. But as I can see, the programming part is a stony way. ;-)

Best regards

Dieter

Hallo Dieter,

great, very happy to hear that helped and thanks for the update.

All the best with the development/the article.

Best Regards,
Lisa
