CCS/TMS320F28379D: CCS 9 - Changing the connection in the Project Properties->General tab causes errors

Part Number: TMS320F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am upgrading my project from CCS 8.0.0 to CCS 9.1.0.  I imported the project and was able to build successfully.  However, when I tried to change the debugger, it gives me a Warning dialog box which states, "Problems encountered while initializing build-configuration 'Debug' of project 'blah'.  Please see the 'project.lgo' file, in the root of the project for details."  Looking at the log file, I see many lines such as the following:

!WARNING: Unresolved option: com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.C2000_18.1.compilerID.LARGE_MEMORY_MODEL

Any idea why this is happening?  Should I be importing these things separately, or entering them by hand?

Thank you,

Ed

  • Another symptom/clue.  After doing this, I can no longer build the main project because all of the Include Options were deleted and replaced with:

    ${INHERITED_INCLUDE_PATH}

    This is empty.

    When you imported your project into CCS 9.1.0, did the Compiler version field look something like this, with a message about "Compiler version xxx is not currently installed. A compatible version zzz will be used during build"?

    And then you tried changing the Connection field, is that correct?

    If so, I am able to reproduce the error. This appears to a bug that is triggered somehow when the original project is set for an older version of the compiler. And I also observed that the Include Options are deleted after the error. I will file a bug report for this.

    If the Compiler version is explicitly set to use the newer version prior to changing the Connection, then the error does not occur. In my example, I click on the Compiler version drop-down and select 18.1.4.LTS before changing the Connection, then there is no error. You would need to delete your current (broken) project from the workspace, import it again and then try the workaround. Let us know if that helps. 

  • Yes!  That is what I am seeing, but with different versions.  If it helps, I saw:


    TI V18.1.1.LTS [TI V18.12.2.LTS]

    I manually selected "TI V18.12.3.LTS", change the connection, built the code, and was able to use the debugger normally.  So the workaround works!!

    Thanks for your help,

  • Ed,

    FYI, the tracking ID for this bug is CCSIDE-3670. Feel free to track its status using the SDOWP link in my signature.

  • Hi,

    I am also facing the same bug. 1 more bug I have found that on the same window, when I am trying to change the xxxxx.cmd file, I am not able to change the xxxxxx.cmd file. Please check this also. First I was using this .cmd file from ccs directory. Now I am trying to use it from project directory. I am also inporting project from ccs 5.6 to ccs 9.

    Yes, changing other fields in the General Properties also seems to trigger the bug. I will add that information to the bug report. 

    In the meantime, please use the workaround suggested in an earlier post - (ie) Change the Compiler version field to explicitly set it to use the newer version of compiler prior to changing any other field.
