Hi all,

I have an assembly code written for and works correctly on C5416. I need to make it work on
C5509A and TI has a function "cl55.exe" which is expected to do the conversion
process. But at each time I call this exe, a new assembly file is created, but I have to make a
lot of changes on the file to make it work. However it should work without any problem and any
changes. Does anybody know what can be the problem? Or is there any other way to convert a C54x
asm file into a C55x asm file?

Thanks,

Murat.

You could do this with very simple code and just a few files, in which case your
C5509A would only run in "compatibility mode".  But if you have a lot of C54x files
and memory usage includes far mode, this will lead to a lot of thinking about how to
map one chip architecture onto the other -- and no TI utility is going to do that for
you.

How many files do you have?  How big is the fully linked C54x code?
