CCS/TMS320C6424: FILE and SYMBOL files

Dave,

Looking up the file extensions the only matches I can find are for Visual FoxPro.  They do sound vaguely familiar.  These may be artifacts from the CodeWright editor that we had along with an intellisense like set of features.  Could be the database files that were used for that.  Those files would not exist in new versions of CCS.  I will ask around and see if others remember these files.

Any reason you are moving to CCSv5.2 vs something newer?  CCSv5.5 would be the best of the 5.x releases.  CCSv9.3.0 is the latest release and we are not far away from CCSv10.0.0.

Regards,

John

I did find this from another user:

----------------------

I'm using code composer studio. My another C project generates SYMBOL.FPT file via Code Composer Studio and it is always made in the folder "projectname.CS_" or whenever we build any project in Code Composer Studio.

----------------------

I just deleted that folder and ran a clean/build and the folder was recreated along with the six files.

Migration: I have two projects. One is at v5.2 and the other was at v3.3. I have the v3.3 one successfully compiling, linking, building *.out, generating *.ais, but it doesn't boot when I burn to flash. Yet another problem. Once both are at v5.2, then I will migrate to CCS8 or CCS9. Then I will migrate from DSP BIOS to SYS BIOS. I'll create a new thread for this, but any recommendations, links or docs would be appreciated.One tradeoff between 8 and 9 is that I'm told that 9 doesn't support our XDS-510/560R emulators.

Thanks!

Dave

That is, I have the v3.3 imported into CCS v5.2 and building...
