Migration project from 3.1 to 5.3

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F2808

Dear support,

We've migrate the project from CCS3.1 (device TMS320f2808) with bios 4.9 to CCD 5.3.
After migration process (using import Legacy CCSv3.3 Projects option) we've get the new project, but without cfg file.

Does migration process build configuration file also or we have to create a new project in ccs5.3 and add manually all tasks, semaphores, hwi,.... from CCS 3.1 project

Thanks,Sabina

If you were working with BIOS 4.90 you would need to first convert that to BIOS 5.2.x before importing the project into CCS 5.3. CCS does not do this automatically for you.

Please see this wiki page for details on BIOS migration:

Thank you very much!
Does it mean that we have to perform BIOS migration manually by using CDB2TCF utility? and only after it we'll get cfg file after ccs 5.3 migration?
We'll try this sequence.

Thanks again,Sabina

You would need to convert the CDB file used with BIOS 4.9x to TCF used with BIOS 5.2x using the CDB2TCF utility. This will give you the BIOS config file to be used with BIOS5, which has .tcf extension. CCS 5.x can build BIOS programs that use BIOS5.x.

BIOS6 on the other hand, has config files with .cfg extension. There is no utility to convert easily from BIOS5 to BIOS 6 but there are some documents to help along the way if you want to migrate all the way to BIOS6.
