CCS/TMS320C6678: can I manually recompile a RTSC Platform based on the generated one by CCS Wizard?

Part Number: TMS320C6678
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The CCS Wizard generated RTSC Platform doesn't have the BOARD property from IPlatform(I checked the Platform.xdc). But I want to add some information into the Platform module, So I guess I have to manually write some XDCspec and XDCscript code to finish this.

Q1: If I do that based on the generated version instead of creating a brand new package with Platform module, is there anything I should take really care about?

Q2: After the coding is finished, can I just call the command 'xdc' with xdcpath pointing to repo path provided by SYSBIOS and XDCtools, and then the building process is okay?

BTW:I am using XDCtools 3.50 and SYSBIOS 6.50

  • A1: I am not sure I understand this question, but I think you are asking is there anything special about the generated version. The only difference would be that if you try to edit the platform in the Platform Wizard after you made your changes, the manual changes might not survive. In other words, once you take over the editing and rebuilding the platform, you'll have to keep doing it manually.
    A2: Yes, that's what the Platform Wizard does - creates a new process and call 'xdc'.
  • Thank you for the reply. It helps a lot.

    And after reading the source codes of IPlatform.xdc and several official Platform.xdc/xs, I finally have a clearer thinking.
