Visual Linking to Text Linking in CCS3.3

I have to built a DSP project previously built on CCS 2.20, on CCS 3.3 now.  The project is linked using a Visual Linker Recipe file(.rcp). Since Visual Linker is not supported in CCS3.3, I have to use text linker(.cmd) and for this i have to transfer the details in the rcp file in to the tcf file using BIOS Configuration Tool and then generate a new .cmd file and include it in the project.   Are there any guidelines available on how to include details in the .rcp file in to the .tcf file?

Or are there any tools available to generate a .cmd file from the .rcp file?

    I am not aware of any tools to generate a .cmd file from a Visual Linker recipe file. I would imagine you need to re-create the new linker command file/BIOS configuration file. It might be best to start with a BIOS seed file for your specific target or even a BIOS example which uses a default configuration and then modify it as needed based on your requirements.

    Hi Aarti,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I already have a BIOS Configuration file (.cdb)  in the CCS 2.20 project . I am now trying to built the project on CCS 2.20 itself with text linker instead of Visual Linker. For this, i have removed .rcp from the project and selected Text Linking in the Linker Configuration and added .cmd file generated from the .cdb file to the project.Building the project in this configuration doesnt give me any errors. But, the .out file fails to get loaded on the target. I have read somewhere that when a project has both BIOS Configuration file and .rcp file, the settings in the .rcp file override that in the .cdb file. So i think the reason behing my .out file not working is some mismatch in settings between the previously used .rcp file and .cdb file. Please share your thoughts on this.

    Is it possible to set all the settings in the .rcp file in to the .cdb file? I mean, will the BIOS configuration tool allow setting all the parameters used in the .rcp file in to the .cdb file?

    Regards
