LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: For windows: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Imported the project zero from the resources pane in CCS, but it won't compile.

Hi Maynard,

I have assigned a relevant expert to help.

Best Regards.

Jan

Additional information from customer please see details below.

Here is the build log for the stack library on windows 10 project_zero_cc2640r2lp_stack_library_build_log.txt

CCS version is 11.1.0.00011
xdctools version is 3.51.03.28
CG_TOOL_ROOT is C:\ti\ti-cgt-arm_18.12.5.LTS

Thank you.

Regards,
Maynard

Hey Maynard,

As a clarification to the above, does an unmodified project build ok on Windows? I just want to make sure that a fresh example imported from the SDK builds OK without any modifications. That is, do not change anything in the prebuild steps after importing the project in CCS.

Hi Ammar,

According to customer unmodified project does not build. (BLE projects that is, hello world builds just fine.)

Maynard

Hey Maynard,

This indicates an issue with the environment. Can you try to reinstall the SDK? You can also try a different version to see if that works as well.

In the above, you mention an ARM compiler that does not match the latest SDK, can you try using 18.12.2.LTS instead?

Hi Ammar,

Just received response from customer, please see details below.

ARM compiler I listed doesn't match the latest SDK, and that I should try 18.12.2.LTS instead. I'm not sure how to make that change. I will see if I can figure it out but any help would be appreciated. Also, reinstalling the SDK had no effect, I will try a different version.

I'm not certain how to get a different version of the SDK, there does not seem to be any option to do so.

This is the beginning of the build log when I attempt to build the stack library on windows. This seems to happen prior to any calls to the compiler:

Hey Maynard,

I noticed the customer's workspace path has a space in it. Can you have the customer try a new workspace stored in a non default location to remove the space? Perhaps in a folder on his desktop? This would avoid the need to rename his user account in Windows...

EDIT: a folder on the desktop will still have the username in the path. Try making a workspace directory directly in the C:\ drive itself.

Hi Ammar,

Just received response from customer, please see details below.

I followed the recommendation to use a workspace located in the root directory (this is on Windows), and that worked! I am able to get project zero to build and run on device. This at least gets me to a point where I can start working through my class. That being said, I would really like to get CSS working on my Mac, as it is much newer and MUCH faster than my pc. For now though, CSS windows seems to be working. Is having a directory with a space in the name a known problem for this kind of thing? I've not run into it before.

Thank you.

Maynard

Hi Ammar,

 thank you. 

Looking forward to your update regarding the MAC issue in other thread.
