5515eZdsp configuration problems

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5515

I am running CCSV  rev  4.2.0.07000 on a PC with W7

I am trying to use a 5515 eZdsp board with the demo program from Spectrum: C5515_eZdsp_Audio_Filter_Demo1 but I get a configuration error

The sequence:

- Starting with no projects and no user defined configurations
- Loading the demo program from Spectrum: C5515_eZdsp_Audio_Filter_Demo1

- File -> Import -> Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse project -> Brouse : 5515_eZdsp_Audio_Filter_demo1.zip -> Finish
- The demo already includes a configuration file: XDS100_C5515.ccxml
- Project Build all

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error: This project was created for a device variant that is not currently recognized : TMS32055XX.TMS320VC5515.
         Please install the device variant descriptor, or migrate the project to one of the supported device-variants
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must be doing a very basic mistake, could someone please advise.

Regards

    Peter,

    I tried it on a laptop with XP and it works, thanks.

    Does TI support Windows 7  ? If not currently, are there any plans ?

    Regards

    Zeev,

    The problem is most likely related to a mismatch between some device description files in your CCS and the files that were present in the CCS used to create the example.

    Try right clicking on your project.

    Select Properties

    Select "CCS Build" in the list on the left.

    Under project settings there should be a couple of drop down boxes in the first row.  In the right most one select 5515, it will be listed as TMS320C5515 or TMS320VC5515.  It is the C5515 vs VC5515 that is triggering the error message.\

    Click ok.

    It should build ok now.

    Regards,

    John

    John,

    The variant drop down box  in my setup does not include 5515 at all.

    It has 5501 - 5510 and 5561

    I tried the same demo program on an XP platform with CCSV 4.1.3 and it works

    The failures were experienced on a platform with Windows 7

    Regards

    Zeev,

    It is not related to OS at all.  You are missing some xml files (or have old ones).  On the one machine you likely installed CCS from the mini-DVD that came with the eZstick and on the other machine you likely installed CCS from the web or standard DVD.  On the mini-DVD it has a supplemental installer from Spectrum Digital that adds extra files.

    If you look in \ccsv4\common\targetdb\devices do you see a c5515.xml?  If it is present can you search the file for "Project Wizard Settings". 

    If the file is missing I can try to zip up mine and send it to you, it pulls in other files as well so it could be a bit messy.

     

    Regards,

    John

    CCSv4.2.0.07000 does not support C5515. Please use 4.2.0 RC1 available here:

    Zeev,

    One of our apps guys just pointed out that you are running a real old version of 4.2.  The current RC1 build of 4.2 has the 5515 files in it (I am running that).  It would be best if you could install that build.  That 4.2.07000 build is very old.

    John,

    The file c5515.xml is in the right place per your direction, however I cannot see this device variant in the wizard drop down windows.

    Neither in the variant drop down, nor in the "More" drop down

    I have screen shots but could not attach it here.

    Regards

    Zeev

    If you search the file for "Wizard" do you get a hit?

    No hit for "Wizard" in the file

    It is an old file then.  I have attached my file.  Unzip it into ccsv4\common\targetdb\devices

    I really recommend updating your 4.2.0.07000 install to the RC1 that is on the web.  The content in that 07000 build is probably a year old.

    I installed RC1 on the Windows 7 platform and the demo program now can be compiled loaded and executed.

    Thank you all for the prompt support

     

    John,

    I chcecked the c5515.xml that came with RC1, there is no hit for "wizard" search

    Should I still switch to the file you sent ?

     

    Regards

    Zeev,

    The one I sent is from the release candidate so you can just use the one in your new RC1 install.  It has a section at the top that looks like this: 

    <!-- Project Wizard Settings -->

    <property Type="stringfield" Value="--memory_model=huge --ptrdiff_size=32 --silicon_version=5515" id="CompilerBuildOptions" /> 

    <property Type="stringfield" Value="lnk_tms320c5515.cmd" id="LinkerCmd" /> 

    <!-- END Project Wizard Settings -->

    Basically it tells CCS some default build options to use.  The fact that it is there lets me know that it is a recent version of the file.

     

    Regards,

    John
