TMS320F28027 Can't find the target named 'devkits.target.Generic'

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28027

Hello,

I'm using CCS 6.1.0.00104, with F28027 controlCARD and the Docking Station USB-EMU [R3].

My question is:  When I try to compile the project example "task_example" or an other of TI-RTOS, after importing, I get the following error.

Also when I try to access the .cfg file also appears to me the following:

Someone can help me on what to do to solve this problem?

Thanks!

    The problem is that TI-RTOS doesn't have support for the "devkits.target.Generic".

    To allow the example to compile, under the CCS Project Propterties -> General -> RTSC change the target from "devkits.target.Generic" to "ti.targets.C28_large".

    [Use ti.targets.C28_large rather than ti.targets.C28_float, since the TMS320F28027 doesn't have hardware floating point]

    If this solves the problem, the question for TI is why does the target get set to "devkits.target.Generic" when importing an example project?

  • "... the question for TI is why does the target get set to "devkits.target.Generic" when importing an example project?"

    You can answer this question?

    'm not sure why it got set to that. When I import the same example from TI-RTOS (same version that you are using), I see the Target set to ti.targets.C28_large.

  • What is the version of CSS that you use?

    Is possible you post a picture that show your path in "Other Repositores", that can't see in your last picture?

  • I used CCS 6.1.0.00104. 

  • You have another version of CCS installed in your PC, as CCS5 or CCS3.3?
    Or you ever had any of these versions installed before?

    I do have a few other versions installed although I don't this issue should be related to that.

    When you imported the project from Resource Explorer, from where did you select the project? I went to TI-RTOS for C2000->2802x Piccolo->Experimenter's kit - Piccolo F28027->Kernel Examples->TI Target Examples->28x Specific Examples->Task Example.

  • Yes, I have imported from the same path.
    At this moment I try install CCS5.1 for testing my last question.
  • In my PC I have the operating system Windows 7 x64, and the target in CCS6.1 is "devkits.target.Generic", and I also have CCS5 installed, but do not have CCS3.3 installed.

    In virtualbox I have a Virtual Machine with Windows XP and  with CCS3.3, CCS5.1, and CCS6.1 installed, and in this case the target is "ti.targets.c28_large".

  • At this point I noticed that after changing the target for "ti.targets.C28_large" and compile the project with this configuration, which was not available in the "Available Produts" (the left window), TI-RTOS.

    After I made a "Refresh view" in this window, and TI-RTOS is now available, see the next picture.


    I think the CCS6.1 has some small incompatibility with Windows7 x64, I see no other explanation.
