Why doesn't my new RTSC platform show up in CCS?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi,

I created a new RTSC platform based on the instructions in this wiki. When I try to select the new platform for my project in CCS project properties->CCS General->RTSC Tab->Platform dropdown, it doesn't show up.


Here are the tools I'm using

  • Windows 7
  • CCS 6.1.3.00034
  • xdctools_3_32_00_06_core
  • bios_6_45_01_29

Here's what I've done...

Went into c:\ti\bios_6_45_01_29\packages\ti\platforms

Made of copy of the folder evmDRA7XX and renamed it to DRA7XX_linux_elf

Went into the new DRA7XX_linux_elf folder and edited the file package.xdc and changed the package name from ti.platforms.evmDRA7XX to ti.platforms.DRA7XX_linux_elf.
package ti.platforms.DRA7XX_linux_elf {
    module Platform;
}

I did an xdc clean using this command from the DOS command line:
c:\ti\bios_6_45_01_29\packages\ti\platforms\DRA7XX_linux_elf>c:\ti\xdctools_3_32_00_06_core\xdc clean
making package.mak (because of package.bld) in order to clean ...

Then I made the platform package using from a DOS command line:
c:\ti\bios_6_45_01_29\packages\ti\platforms\DRA7XX_linux_elf>c:\ti\xdctools_3_32_00_06_core\xdc
making package.mak (because of package.bld) ...
generating interfaces for package ti.platforms.DRA7XX_linux_elf (because package/package.xdc.inc is older than package.xdc) ...
    translating Platform all files complete.

Now, from CCS, if I bring up the properties of the project I'm working on and click on "CCS General" in the left hand pane, then click on the RTSC tab in the right hand pane, I see my Target is the same, ti.targets.elf.C66. However, when I click to reveal the Platform: drop-down list, my new platform does not show up in the list.

However, despite it now showing up in the list, if I manually type its name into the Platform: field, it works meaning my application builds as expected.

One additional thing, Under the Debug perspective in CCS, I can launch the RTSC platform wizard, Tools->RTSC Tools->Platform->Edit/View and type C:\ti\bios_6_45_01_29\packages for the Platform Package Repository, my platform shows up and I can edit it.

My question is, how can I make it show up in my project properties?

Thanks

  • Brad,

    I don't think what you are doing is supported in CCS. The only way that I know of that will allow a platform to show up in CCS is if you created via the CCS platform wizard and put your created platform somewhere outside of the SYSBIOS product and add its repository to the "Products and Repositories"-->"Other Repositories".

    PS: There are some background stuff that CCS does which you don't get by what you did.
