CCS5.5: Use of Relative Path in GEL file.

Hi,

     I am using CCS5.5. I am doing device debugging for project less target C67xx. After launching the debug session by using Target configuration file, I am trying to execute a GEL file which contains the "GEL_MemoryLoad" function. in the "GEL_MemoryLoad", I am providing the relative path of a dat file. But CCS5.5 console is populating the error: ".dat file is not found".

    For example : my target configuration file is created at "C:\myfolder\targetC67xx.ccxml". The DAT file is placed at "C:\myfolder\mybuild\datfile.dat". GEL file is placed at "C:\myfolder\mybuild\mygel.gel". In the gel file "GEL_MemoryLoad" function is called with "../mybuild/datfile.dat" as argument for filename. But CCS5.5 console is populating the error: "Could Not Open File ../mybuild/datfile.dat for reading.".

      In CCS3.1 the same GEL file worked fine. Please provide the information about how the GEL files read the relative paths in the CCS5.5?

    Nothing has changed regarding this function in GEL. The type of relative pathing you specified was never really supported. The only reliable technique available to avoid absolute paths is to use the $(GEL_file_dir) macro.
