CCS/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: importing linux .config variables to CCS7 project

Richard McAleer

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Having followed the instructions in the TI tutorials I have a project in CCS7 for linux-4.4.19+gitAUTOINC+db0b54cdad-gdb0b54cdad created this via importing it as an "Existing Code as Makefile Project"

I can browse the code and have managed to get the JTAG connection to my BeagleBone Black running succesfully.

What I would like to do is find an efficient way to import the build variables defined withing the .config file for my kernel build
- or the MACROS derived from these
- without these the syntax highlighting is very misleading as much of the code appears commented out

What would be the best way of making CCS7 aware of these?

The .config file itself is shown in the project source files and gets hit if I text search across the project. Is there anyway to make enable parsing of this in CCS7

Thanks for any help.

All the best,

Richard

Richard,

This is historically a complicated issue for Eclipse/CDT, but I just found a tutorial from some users that may help you with that:
wiki.eclipse.org/HowTo_use_the_CDT_to_navigate_Linux_kernel_source

Hope this helps,
Rafael

Thanks Rafael,

that looks promising; I will give it a go shortly.

In the meantime I have put together a python script to convert a .config file in to an .xml format that can be understood by Eclipse and then use "import settings" to load the generated symbols. This works for the parts of the kernel I have been looking at... but prefer your suggestion of using a true generated source file.

Thanks for the help.
All the best,
Richard
