CCS/CCSTUDIO: Multiple errors when using the DSP/BIOS Configuration tool for tcf files

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello

I am running Code Composer Studio 6.2.0.00050. When I attempt to open a .tcf file with the DSP/BIOS Configuration tool I get three error boxes in a row:

Failed to update the system registry.
Please try using REGEDIT.

CoCreateInstance failed: hiervw.dll

Unable to Create BIOS Config Server.

I have tried to do a full reinstall, as well as uninstalling DPS/BIOS before uninstalling CCS and ensuring every folder is gone, but the issue persists. It also occurs on a different computer.

I have also tried registering the Configuration Tool .dll files manually as described in the related thread.

I am using bios_5_42_02_10 which I believe is the newest version of DSP/BIOS.

hiervw.dll does exist in C:\ti\bios_5_42_02_10\packages\ti\bios\config\gconf\bin. This fits my TConf flag: -Dconfig.importPath="C:/ti/bios_5_42_02_10/packages;".

Hope you can help

Hi,

Have you ever built a DSP/BIOS example or successfully graphically opened a .tcf file? What device are you using?

Hey Todd,

Thanks for the response.
I am using the TMS320F2812. All the DSP/BIOS examples I have tried so far build fine. But no, I have never successfully graphically opened a .tcf file.

You said you found older threads with solutions. Are these the ones you followed?
https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/p/750904/2780504?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=hiervw.dll#pi320995=2

If you follow the instructions in the first thread, the important part is to find if hiervw.dll is found in registry under a path that doesn't exist. Try re-registering and check if the path in the registry changes accordingly.

If you have to reinstall DSP/BIOS and CCS, you may want to check registry again after uninstalling, and remove that key.

I have followed the first link - I seem to not have access to the second.

Running Registry Editor I find nothing when searching for hiervw in data fields. I have tried registering the .dll files as described in the following comment:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/p/750904/2789850#2789850

And I still can't find hievw in regedit and still cannot open tcf files with the configuration tool, getting the same errors.

Hello again

Seems like an obvious fix now, but it seems I simply needed to install all available updates. This fixed the problem.

Thank you for your time.
