Bug in Code Composer Studio

Started by Martin Collins ●March 14, 2001
Hi,

I'm trying to build a DSP/BIOS project. I include bios.a54 for the bios
stuff.
I understand this file as being a sort of library, but Code Composer trys to
assemble
it and gets stuck in a loop somewhere. Code Composer has it in the list of
source
files and not in the list of library files. But I can't get it to change
that.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Martin.

Hi Tony,

thanks for your reply. My problem is exactly that I'm using the new linker.
When I changed my project over to the new linker and created the recipe
file, the
View for setting linker options disappeared! So it's not possible to supply
a path
to the bios.a54 library. It needs to be included in the list of libraries in
the Project View.
But Code Composer will not allow me to do that. It insists on putting it
into the
list of source files. And when the assembler comes along and tries to do
something with
it, it -the assembler -gets itself into knots and I have to kill it with the
Task Manager.
I think this definitely has to be a bug.

By the way do you know what the bios.a54f is for?

Cheers,

Martin.

Martin,

I understand your problem. I had some trouble using that visual linker
too, so I reverted to using the standard linker. I do recall, however,
that I was able (after a lot of grief) to get a project to build using
the visual linker. I am leaving for a ski trip this weekend, but when I
get back, I will open that project and see what I did. Perhaps by then
someone else in the group will answer your question. Keep me informed.

Tony
