CCS/TMS320C6748: ERROR: "This project was created for a device not currently supported "

Guru 20755 points
Part Number: TMS320C6748

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I try to open a project which once was created with CCS5 , using CCS7 (I haven't tried with CCS5, becuase I will need to reinstall my CCS7).

I get the following error:
**** Build Finished ****
Buildfile generation error occurred..
This project was created for a device not currently supported - TMS320C67XX.TMS320C6748:
- See 'Help > Check for Updates' to check if support for this device is available through a CCS update.
- Visit CCS App Center to get the latest device support.
- Check if you have installed support for the corresponding MCU/processor platform.
- Migrate the project to closest matching supported device by adjusting project properties.
- Or contact TI for support if using experimental silicon.
Build stopped..

Yet, I did install c6000, as you can see here:

Is there any idea what's wrong ?

Thank you,

Ran

    It sounds like you installed CCS without the device support for C674x. The error message is basically stating that.

    You screenshot shows that you have the C6000 code generation tools installed. Note that you can have device support for other C6000 based devices but not for C674x. The C6000 code generation tools has likely been installed when selecting device support for other C6000 devices. The screenshot below shows the component needed for C674x support. Please make sure you have this installed. You can check by rerunning the installer over your existing CCS installation. This will allow you to install any missing components:

    Thanks

  • Hi Ki,

    I have made progress after installing c6000, yet I get the following error on trying to build the project.

    10:01:24 **** Build of configuration Debug for project myapp ****
    make all
    Building target: myapp.out
    Invoking: C6000 Linker
    stack_size=0x800 --heap_size=0x800 -m"myapp.map" -i"/lib" -i"/include" --display_error_number --diag_wrap=off --xml_link_info="Black_Bat_linkInfo.xml" --mapfile_contents=sym_defs,sym_runaddr,nosym_name --unused_section_elimination=on --zero_init=on "myapp.out"
    /usr/bin/sh: --heap_size=0x800: command not found
    make: [Black_Bat.out] Error 127 (ignored)
    Finished building target: myapp.out

    I then started checking the build settings, is it related to compiler version (the project was once built on ccs5 IDE)

    Regards,

  • Hi Ki,

    I have edited my previous reply.
    Thank you
  • Ran, there is something strange with your environment. There is a reference to make (CCS uses gmake) and your project properties is missing all the compiler and linker options. Please attach the project you are trying to import to CCSv7 so I can take a closer look

    Thanks

  • After installing the required compiler 7.4.4 , it worked.
    Thanks a lot.
  • It appeared as warning in the build window (with "!")
