CCS error "An invalid non debuggable file was specified"

Deepali,

What version of CCSv3.3 are you installing and what import config are you trying?

Regards,

John

CCS version is Platinum 3.3

I am downloading Primus i.e. OMAP L137 ccs files from http://support.spectrumdigital.com/boards/dskda830/revf/

My import config is PrimusWithEtb_xds510usb.ccs

Deepali

Deepali,

Can you please send me the complete version # from the help about dialog.

Thanks,

John

I need the version from within CCS itself.  You may need to configure another target that doesn't give you an error or you can pull the version # from the cc_app.ini file in the cc\bin folder

John

3.3.38.2

Deepali

Deepali,

That is the original CCSv3.3 release from Dec 2006 and would not have support for OMAPL137.  As you are an TI employee I would recommend going to the internal download site and getting the latest image from there.  For any other users watching this thread and having the same problem please update your installation to the latest Service Release.

Regards,

John

I downloaded and installed 3.3.83.20

I installed the CCS files and XDS 510 driver.

Now I get the error "Cannot find sdgoicepickusb_c.dvr" when I setup Primus board and try to start CCS.

I tried installing the service pack at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CCS_3.3#Service_Releases . The service pack did not install. On double clicking it showed some progress and then died down.

Any further suggestions?

Deepali,

I suspect that you don't have the Spectrum Drivers installed.  Some of the Spectrum installers will uninstall drivers the second time you run them.

I have confirmed on my machine that 3.3.83.20 + SD drivers does not result in that error.

John

Can you share your link for spectrum digital drivers?

John,

My requirement for CCS v3.3 was to flash WinCE Eboot on my Primus board. The WinCE BSP release ships out pre-built executables and I had to follow the steps in the Install Guide to use the .outs to set up my board. The .out on running takes in user i/p as well

I spent a long time and lots of trial and error before I could do the above.

Details below: 

1) I had already tried installing the XDS drivers prior to my previous post. So I decide to try newer versions of CCS.

2) I tried CCS v4. But on running the .out gave me an error which said "Invalid CIO command ..."

3) I then tried CCS v5 which gave me an error on loading.Something to do with a data validity or integrity error. I dont remember the exact message.

4) I tried looking for CCS v3 installation on some setups at my co-workers. But that did not work as most of have moved to newer versions of CCS or have a CCS v3 version which does not work with Primus.

5) So I came back to my setup. I realized that the new CCS v3 installation was in a folder c:\CCStudio_v3.3PLA while the drivers were getting installed by default in a folder C:\CCStudio_v3.3. On copying the drivers from C:\CCStudio_v3.3 to c:\CCStudio_v3.3PLA the error on CCS startup went away. The CCS opened and I was able to connect to ARM. But loading the executable again gave an error.

6) I tried changing the gel files but all the gel files I tried had the EMIF B entry on which the data load was giving an error.

7) I knew that the Linux PSP drivers also use CCS for setting up their boot loader. So I went searching on processors.wiki.ti.com. At this link http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_OMAP-L138_DVEVM_Additional_Procedures#Flashing_images I got the final tip which helped me. "Start CCStudio and connect to the DSP. Once done, connect to the ARM. Ensure that you have the latest DSP GEL file from Spectrum Digital Support site correctly specified."

After doing this I was able to load the executable and flash my board.

This took much longer than I had envisaged. Hope customers dont run into such usability issues.
