About *.MAP and *.OUT file difference issue

Dear Champs

It is strange that the *.MAP and *.OUT build by my CCS is different from my customer's on C6713.

I compared the CCS between mine and my customer's.

The setting of BUILD OPTION are all the same.

Why the file size of *.MAP and *.OUT are different?

Because of this difference, I cannot make sure the debug environment is compatable in between.

The HELP/About item of two CCS is different as below:

My CCS:

BIOS

Board Revision: (00.00.00)

Target Silicon Revision: (00.00.00)

My customer's CCS:

BIOS cuda-4.90.02.4

Board Revision: (134.00.00)

Target Silicon Revision: (01.03.00)

Could you give me some comments?

Thank you very much.

  • Hi,

    In order to have the same map/ out files, it is not enough to have the same exact build options. If the project is using DSP/BIOS, you should have the same DSP/BIOS version. Also, you need to have the same version of Code generation tools.

    I'm not sure why you can not see the versions in the Help->about screen... Maybe someone from the CCS team can help you.

  • That is a very old version of CCS.  I would suggest checking your compiler and bios versions by just looking in the installation directory.  Note that older versions of the compiler did not necessary produce the exact same output from computer to computer.  The resources available on the computer could impact the optimization done by the compiler.

  • I recall one issue where BIOS projects generated slightly different out files if one was building on XP and another on Win2000, even if using identical versions of the compiler and BIOS.
