CCS/TMS320DM365: CCS3.3 setup problem in win7

Part Number: TMS320DM365

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

 

During CCS 3.3 intall process in win7,The follow error occur. How to solve the CCS 3.3 Intall problem in win 7 enterprise version.

If ignore the followting install problem. We try to compile the DM365 source code. the error is

"<Linking>

    error: --retain option conflicts with previous option --relocatable (-r)

   error: --retain=*(.selfcopy) not supported when producing TI-COFF output files

    fatal error: cannot continue with specified options; aborting"


Install error:

1   error 1920.service 'drpkiont'failed to start.verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services

2   error 1920.service 'XDSfast1_ISA_Bus_Driver'(xdsfast1)failed to start.verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services

3   Devcon is unable to install the XDS560 Driver

  • Hi,

    I will leave the linker error to the compiler experts, but the install error is a known issue that affects CCSv3.3 and Windows 7 and 64-bit. A discussion about it is provided below:
    e2e.ti.com/.../319084

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
  • Thank you for your information. I will try the method by refer to the link. For the linker error,if have any process,please help to update it. Thank you!
  • Hello!

    Though there is a chance to run v3.3 natively, why don't you consider running it in virtual machine? It gives much smoother experience.

  • In our company,using windows xp is not allowed. Is there any CCS higher version that can be used to compile DM365 in win7. If exsit , could you provide the configuraion of the build evironment with higher CCS verison. Thank you!
  • I have refered to the discussion of e2e.ti.com/.../319084. But for us ,we still can't setup the evironment success. Even that,after we have setuped the CCS 4.2 and unload it. Then we can't install the CCS 3.3 update package after we install CCS 3.3. And the installing and compile errors still exist. Now we want to compile DM365 code.Is there any higher CCS version can be used? Thank you!
  • Hi Team:

    please kindly support ABB's case above, it's blocking manufacuturing line right now.

    thanks!

  • Hello!

    I was able to setup C641x based project with some of CCS 5.x, perhaps 5.3, though that does not matter really. In our project we used DSP/BIOS, and there is 5.42 DSP/BIOS available. Also we used 6.0.28-6.0.31 compilers. I was able to get proper program images. Though development experience is quite different, this way could be used to build the project.

    However, if you have well established project made with CCS 3.3 may I suggest reconsider running it in virtual machine with Windows XP. Believe me, that is really the most painless way.

  • I apologize for the delay.

    Something unusual is happening.  My guess is you are using a project and/or linker command file that was developed and tested under the newer EABI, but you are trying to use it with the older COFF ABI.  It would be best if you changed over to using the newer EABI.  If you can't do that, then remove the linker option --retain.

    Thanks and regards,
