CC1352P: IAR build problem

Part Number: CC1352P
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Hi,

I have an IAR project, that builds correctly on one computer.

When trying to build the same project on another computer, I get an IAR error: 

Building configuration: app - EVL_Debug

Updating build tree...

Variable expansion failed for Pre-Build command line.

Offending text: ""$XDCROOT$/xs" --xdcpath="$XDCPATH$" iar.tools.configuro -c "$TOOLKIT_DIR$" --cc "$COMPILER_PATH$" --device "$DEVICE$" --compileOptions $COMPILER_ARGS_ROOT_QUOTED$ --linkOptions

$LINKER_ARGS_QUOTED$ --profile release --projFile "$PROJ_PATH$" $PROJ_DIR$/ble_oad_release.cfg"

Total number of errors: 1

Total number of warnings: 0

Turns out that the "offending" text is: $COMPILER_ARGS_ROOT_QUOTED$.

All other configuration is exactly the same between the two computers: IAR version, SDK, and XDC. proj.custom_args is also the same.

From what I've seen from the IAR documentation, they don't mention the $COMPILER_ARGS_ROOT_QUOTED$ at all. It's also not part of the SDK the XDS or the custom_args file.

Am I missing something? Is there any other requirements for the IAR system?

Thanks, Isak.

    Hi Isak,

    Which version of IAR are you using? 

    Which version of the SDK are you using? 

    Which project are you trying to build? 

    Thanks, 
    Elin

    Hi Elin,

    Ye, sorry I didn't include all the details before...

    IAR: 8.40.2.22891

    sdk: C:\ti\simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_40_00_02

    xdc: C:/ti/xdctools_3_51_02_21_core

    my project is based on the DMM wsnnode example, but it's very different now...

    content of my custom_argvars file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <iarUserArgVars>
    <group name="SDK" active="true">
    <variable>
    <name>COM_TI_SIMPLELINK_CC13X2_26X2_SDK_INSTALL_DIR</name>
    <value>C:\ti\simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_40_00_02</value>
    </variable>
    <variable>
    <name>XDCROOT</name>
    <value>C:/ti/xdctools_3_51_02_21_core</value>
    </variable>
    <variable>

    </variable>
    <variable>

    <value>$COM_TI_SIMPLELINK_CC13X2_26X2_SDK_INSTALL_DIR$</value>

    <name>SDK_COMMON</name>
    <value>$SDK$/source/ti/common</value>
    </variable>
    </group>
    </iarUserArgVars>

    Thanks, Isak.

    Hi Isak,

    is the SDK paths etc the same as well? I would expect this to be handles by IAR. Strange thing is that IAR does not define it while it defines "COMPILER_ARGS" where the latter does not evaluate at all from an IAR perspective. 

    If you instead insert  $COMPILER_ARGS_ROOT_QUOTED$ for IAR, this is always defined, even before any XDC tools run.

    If you on the other computer try to run a normal example, you see the same issue?

    Hi,

    Yes, the SDK, XDC and IAR version are the same on all computers.

    Actually, the project does build correctly on multiple computers, The problem on a one specific computer. 

    I even tried to fully reinstall windows, IAR, and all tools. to no avail.

    Indeed, It seems like an IAR issue, but the COMPILER_ARGS_ROOT_QUOTED is kinda IAR's "undocumented feature", and AFAIK, TI is the only one using it.

    I didn't try the original examples, but most probably it will have the same behavior.

    Maybe you have an idea?

    Thanks, Isak.

    Hi,

    I'm so sorry.

    Turn out it was my fault.

    In my project, I use an environment variable as an argument for the C++ compiler.

    Turn out that if this environment variable is not defined, then IAR will fail to evaluate the $COMPILER_ARGS_ROOT_QUOTED$ argument.

    Unfortunately, IAR didn't specify exactly what was the problem.

    Anyway, all is fine now, and sorry for wasting your time.

    Thanks, Isak.

    No worries Isak, glad you find the issue. One could have wished for clearer error messages in the IAR build log sometimes :)
