CCS/MSP432E401Y: TI-RTOS configuration failure

It is odd that both a compiler internal error and a XDCtools build error are reported here. To try to isolate that further you could disable the Parallel build option, and see if only one of those errors are reported.

Then if only the XDCtools error remains, then please take a look at this FAQ for common reasons that cause the error
https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/t/786662

If both errors still remain, please try the rebuild with XDCtools version 3.55.02.22 (the version that comes with CCS 9.1) and let us know how that goes.

Thank you for your rapid response. My build path does not have white space. I don't see any white space in any of the files in this directory. I have a different error now I will attach the readout below. I read this post before but I missed the part that said Cygwin is included so i assumed that it did not apply to me I will see if a solution can be found there.

I still cannot reproduce this error at my end so there must be something in your environment or setup. 

Do you now have the project set for XDCtools version 3.55.02.22? Please try the following to make sure we are working with a clean build.

Open a new workspace and import a TI-RTOS example project from Resource Explorer. Make sure that the Debug folder within the project is empty and that there is no "src" directory. Also ensure the XDCtools version is 3.55.02.22.

Then do a "Rebuild Project", capture the build output to a text file and attach it here. 

I inspected both my user, and system variables, I found no mention of cygwin in either, also I don't see any mension of a cygwin install on my computer could these be signs of a problem? I created a new workspace called test. I imported the out of the box demo from the resource explorer. It seem as the error is slightly different. There was no src directory before the build but after it appeared screenshots and readouts below.

**** Build Finished ****

Logan,
This looks very much as the problem in https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/t/788942, which is not resolved yet. The customer in that thread switched back to the compiler version 18.1.5.LTS and he was able to build. If you can make that change and report the results, it would help a lot with debugging. I'll ask someone from the compiler team to look at this thread. They will probably asked for a test case with the content described in the error message.

Logan,

The compiler expert who can provide more insight into this is out of the office this week, so it will be at least early next week before he can provide an update.

In the meantime, could you install compiler version 18.1.5.LTS as suggested by Sasha and let us know the results of using that version for the build?

This page describes how to install and use a specific version of the compiler:  
http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_compiler-installation-selection.html

I could not find 18.1.5.LTS so I used 18.1.6.LTS It appeaser that was close enough to work. It completed a successful build. So is there a fix in the pipeline for the other compiler?

Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the problem.  I'd appreciate if you would send us a file which may allow us to reproduce what you see.

The diagnostic which starts with INTERNAL ERROR ends by naming a file.  It has an auto-generated name like ...

C:\\Users\\ldoonan\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\{FE969B1F-DAF1-4A4A-AD20-771B1C493AE7}

Please change the compiler version back to 18.12.3.LTS and attempt the problem build.  I expect it will fail the same way.  Carefully note the name of this file.  Zip that file up, then attach it to your next post.

Thanks and regards,

-George

I found the files. My problem is after the files are automatically generated, they are shortly after automatically deleted and then I am given the error message that tells me what file to look for. I ran a few searches for the file, and I am certain that this file is not there. Is there a good way of preventing the automatic delete.

I'll contact you through private message.

Thanks and regards,

-George

This issue is still being discussed in private messages.  I'll post a summary when it concludes.

Thanks and regards,

-George

This issue continues being discussed offline.

Thanks and regards,

-George

The customer has generously helped us get a test case.  Unfortunately, that test case works for us.  We are considering how else we might find the cause of the problem.

Thanks and regards,

-George

We have tried ever more odd system configurations.  And we remain unable to reproduce the problem the customer sees.  

Thanks and regards,

-George

We continue to be unable to reproduce the problem in a way that the cause can be found.  I am forced to close this issue for now.  Should we work out the cause, I'll post it about it here.

Thanks and regards,

-George
