Compiler/TMS320DM642: Can't build a bare-bone RTSC project

Part Number: TMS320DM642
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello,

I am trying to migrate an RTSC project that is working in CCS3.3 to CCS5.5. We use a custom board with TMS320DM642 DSP and Spectrum Digital XDS510USB emulator. At this point all I want to do is to be able to build a bare-bone RTSC "Hello World" project and then connect to the board and debug it. In the original CCS3.3 project, we used ti.platforms.evmDM642 platform. In CCS5.5, such a platform is missing, so I chose xdc.platform.generic platform. I let the Studio' wizard create such a project for me. My complete list of project's parameters is below:

XDS Tools: 3.25.3.72

SYS/BIOS: 6.35.4.50

XDAIS: 7.21.1.07

Platform: xdc.platform.generic

Compiler version: TI v7.4.4

Device family: C6000

Device variant: DaVince DM64x TMS320DM642

I failed to build the project due to following errors:

"C:\\ti\\ccsv5\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k all

making ../src/sysbios.a64 ...
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `family/c64/Hwi.c', needed by `BIOS.obj'.
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `family/c64/Timer.c', needed by `BIOS.obj'.
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `family/c64/TimestampProvider.c', needed by `BIOS.obj'.
gmake[1]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
gmake: *** [../src/sysbios.a64] Error 2

These errors were followed by another ones:

js: "$internal", line 25: xdc.services.global.XDCException: xdc.PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND: can't locate the package 'undefined' along the path: 'C:/ti/bios_6_35_04_50/packages;C:/ti/xdais_7_21_01_07/packages;C:/ti/xdais_7_21_01_07/examples;C:/ti/ccsv5/ccs_base;C:/ti/xdctools_3_25_03_72/packages;..;'. Ensure that the package path is set correctly.
"./package/cfg/app_p64.cfg", line 141
gmake.exe: *** [package/cfg/app_p64.xdl] Error 1
js: "C:/ti/xdctools_3_25_03_72/packages/xdc/tools/Cmdr.xs", line 51: Error: xdc.tools.configuro: configuration failed due to earlier errors (status = 2); 'linker.cmd' deleted.
gmake: *** [configPkg/linker.cmd] Error 1
gmake: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

Any help in resolving the errors or in fixing of my setup will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Alex,
xdc.platform.generic is probably not a good choice there. To use it properly, you would need an additional configuration file and a setup for that platform. A little bit easier approach is to use the Platfom Wizard and create your own platform based on TMS320DM642. Here is the guide for using that tool: rtsc.eclipse.org/.../Demo_of_the_RTSC_Platform_Wizard_in_CCSv4

Sasha,

I'd like to provide more details. Our project works fine in CCS3.3, where we use ti.platforms.evmDM642 platform. We want to move that project to a newer composer studio. At first, I've tried CCS4.2, which already contains such a platform. I was able to build our project in CCS4.2, but was unable to connect to the board and debug it. Since CCS4.2 is also rather old, I wanted to see if I would have more luck with CCS5.5. CCS5.5 does not have such a platform, so per your advice I wanted to create one. Unfortunately new platform wizard in CCS5.5 does not list our dsp (TMS320DM642) among those that are supported. Is it possible to import a platform from CCS3.3 (or CCS4.2) to CCS5.5?

Thanks.

It's mistakenly listed as TMS320CDM642. I just fired up CCS 5 and I was able to create a new platform with that device.
Alternatively, you can just try copying evmDM642 to the directory ti/platforms in your XDCtools 3.25 installation. That might work but I haven't tried it.

Alex,

Since I have not heard back in a week, I'm assuming this is a resolved issue.

Todd,

I ended up using CCS 4.2 by just importing our legacy CCS 3.3 project. I am not sure what I was doing wrong last time, but this time it worked.

Thank you for your help!

Alex.
