CCS 6.1.1.00027 for Mac - tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin: No such file or directory

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

I am following the instructions on this page http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC2650_SensorTag_User's_Guide#Generating_Binary_Files_for_Mobile_App_OAD 
to generate a bin file for the SimpleBLEBroadcaster project but getting this error-

/Applications/ti/ccsv6/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin: No such file or directory

I have done a full installation of CCS 6.1.1.00027 for Mac. It does not contain the directory tiobj2bin in ccsv6/utils.

What do I need to do to get tiobj2bin for CCS on Mac?

regards,

Abhinav

  • Abhinav,

    Unfortunately this version of CCS did not have this utility. You will have to download and install CCS 6.1.2.00014 to get it.
    e2e.ti.com/.../code-composer-studio-beta-for-msp430

    By the way, you can have multiple CCS versions installed in parallel, provided they are installed each on its own separate directory and you use a different workspace. In my setup I have the two versions of CCS installed at /Applications/ccs_6_1_1 and /Applications/ccs_6_1_2, and all the other TI packages (MSPWare, Tivaware, etc.) are installed under /Applications/ti.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
  • Hi Rafael,

    Thanks, yes this version of CCS does contain tiobj2bin.

    But now I am facing a new error while building the stack:

    /Applications/ti/simplelink/ble_cc26xx_2_01_01_44627/Projects/ble/SimpleBLEBroadcaster/CC26xx/CCS/SimpleBLEBroadcasterStack/../../IAR/Stack/CC2640/../../../../../../tools/LibSearch/libSearch.exe: /Applications/ti/simplelink/ble_cc26xx_2_01_01_44627/Projects/ble/SimpleBLEBroadcaster/CC26xx/CCS/SimpleBLEBroadcasterStack/../../IAR/Stack/CC2640/../../../../../../tools/LibSearch/libSearch.exe: cannot execute binary file

    And then subsequently, 

    error #10008-D: cannot find file "/Applications/ti/simplelink/ble_cc26xx_2_01_01_44627/Projects/ble/SimpleBLEBroadcaster/CC26xx/CCS/SimpleBLEBroadcasterStack/../../IAR/Stack/CC2640/../../Lib/CC2640Stack.a"

    error #10008-D: cannot find file "/Applications/ti/simplelink/ble_cc26xx_2_01_01_44627/Projects/ble/SimpleBLEBroadcaster/CC26xx/CCS/SimpleBLEBroadcasterStack/../../IAR/Stack/CC2640/../../Lib/CC2640Stack_HCI_TL.a"

  • Hi,

    These are Windows executables, therefore they would not be executable on a MacOS system anyways. Besides, I find it very strange this CCS project references an IAR subdirectory.

    Given the BLE stack was designed to be used only in Windows, I can't precisely tell if these utilities are necessary. In this case, given the BLE stack is provided by the Simplelink group, I would strongly advise you to check the Simplelink forum for details regarding the requirements to migrate this project to the MacOS.

    Regards,
    Rafael
  • Abhinav,

    Please also take a look at this wiki page: 
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MacOS_X_CCSv6_Beta#Bluetooth_Low_Energy_Software_Stack_.28BLE-STACK.29

    Hopefully the details there help address your build issues, but if they do not, please ask in the Simplelink forum as suggested by Rafael.

  • Hi Aarti,

    Thanks. I did go through that wiki page earlier but missed #7 which says copy .a files from Windows. Thanks for pointing out.

    This copying files from windows machine is a bit of a struggle, given the fact that most people here use Macs and there are barely any windows machines at our disposal.

    I understand. Thanks for providing this feedback, as this will help guide our plans for releasing/supporting MacOS versions of these SImplelink software packages.
