CCS/TI-RTOS-PROC: AM5728

John Wilkes
Expert 1315 points

Part Number: TI-RTOS-PROC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM5728

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Using CCS v10

Trying to create a new TI-RTOS project with a template/example for a AM5728

First: On the New CCS Project screen, in the Project templates and examples box: there is no listing for TI-RTOS

Second: Following the Processor SDK RTOS (6.3.0.106) user guide, under chapter 9.8.3 TI-RTOS Kernel Example->ARM Cortex-A15 or 9.8.9 TI-RTOS Kernel Example->DSP C66x, it says to use resource explorer. The screen shot shows Resource Explore Classic, which does not appear to be accessible in CCS 10. In the new version of Resource Explorer, there is no entry for the AM5x devices.

Please help.

    HI John,

    The last version to support Resource Explorer Classic is CCSv8.3.1. Hence the SDK document must have been written with that version in mind.

    However, you can use the CCS project import wizard to import the SYS/BIOS example mentioned in the document.

    Thanks

    Hi Ki,

    Thanks very much for your reply, that explains why the documentation didn't make sense.

    So, when using Import CCS Projects, where do I point the search-directory to find the hello world example that was in Resource Explorer classic? I have tried pointing it at my TI-RTOS installation folder (bios_6_76_03_01) but this yields many of projects, each with multiple variants. There is one called 'hello' but there are lots of versions and I cannot differentiate between them. Any Ideas?

    Alternatively: I have now installed the AM572x SDK components correctly in CCS and when I use the New CCS Project wizard I can see a SYS/BIOS section in the 'Project templates and examples' box. Under this I select 'More examples...' and select 'Search using Import Wizard...'. Here the list is as above, but reduced with one version of each of the projects (I guess it has selected the one specifically for my device?). I can select the 'hello' project, but in the next 'New CCS Project' screen it requires a 'Platform' under 'XDCtools settings'. This is blank and the drop down list associated with the box is empty. How do I find or specify the platform?

    Thanks for your continued support.

    Cheers,

    John.

    Ah, yes the projectspec names are not very descriptive. The only real way to differentiate between them is to open each in a text editor. However...

    This is a good alternative

    For A15, try using "ti.platforms.evmAM572X" as the platform. For C66x, try "ti.platforms.evmAM572X"

    EDIT: the same platform name for both

    Thanks

    Hi Ki,

    Thanks for your answer. I didn't realise I could just type the name into the box, I thought it had to be selected from the drop down list (which is empty). I have typed it in and now it works. I also added 'am57xx PDK' to the list of 'Products', I'm not sure if that was important or not.

    Cheers,

    John.
