Re: UART in EVMDM642

Hi,
I also have EVMDM642 but with DDK version 1.11. I cannot run uarttest.pjt, because there is no CDB configuration file. According to the readme file:
"These applications are not delivered with any CDB configuration files, but have been delivered with textual configuration files. You can generate your CDB files by running the CCS tconf utility on the application's respective TCF file. Alternatively, you can generate all of the DDK CDB files at once from the makefile in the DDK's top level directory."
1. Anyone knows where is this tconf utility and which TCF file is it referring to? Is it uarttestcfg.tcf? I've also checked spru007h, but it assumes I have the original CDB file.
2. I tried the build6000.bat makefile. But I get the error: "the system cannot find the path specified". What does this mean? I installed CCS in the default location C:\CCStudio_v3.3.
2. The last file in this folder (besides uarttest.pjt, uarttestcfg.tcf & readme) is tconflocal.tci. What is it for?
Thanks.

Hi
1. Regarding the CDB/TCF file, I remove the CDB file from the
project, replacing it with uarttestcfg.tcf and build the project
anyway. It gives out 2 errors: uarttestcfg.s62", ERROR! : [E1000]
Cannot open source file uarttestcfg.s62: No such file or directory &
Fatal error: could not open source file "uarttestcfg_c.c".
2. Regarding the build6000.bat makefile, I tried installing DDK in
c:\ti instead. This time, the error is different: Can't load
platform definition 'EvmDM642.tcp': Error: Can't find import
file: 'EvmDM642.tcp'. Any help?
Thanks.

H,

every project has a set of build options (under the Project menu)
within the build options is a list of all the directories that are accessed for files, libraries, etc.

When you modify the directory where things are located or incorporate a file from a different
directories, the list of directories in the build options must also be changed to match.

R. Williams,
Thanks for the reminder. My problem is that the missing files such
as 'EvmDM642.tcp' are totally missing from my hard disk. Not a case
of incorrect directory.
The exceptions are "uarttestcfg.s62" and "uarttestcfg_c.c" which are
(supposed to be) generated by the Configuration Tool. However, in
this case, they didn't get generated, hence the errors. I'm not
quite sure of the function of these 2 files, but similar files are
generated when I build other projects as well.
Thanks.

H,

Since We know the files are expected to be generated by the configuration tool, I would be looking
at the configuration tool.

FOr instance, did the configuration tool get executed?, were the right project names used?, etc.

The document SPRU303B.pdf has all the details of the usage of the configuration tool.

I would suspect the tool was run with some misspellings of the project/etc names.

I will repeat - I am not a DM642 user, but here are a few thoughts...

Keep in mind that the 'configuration tool' is for the DSP and on-chip
peripherals. In the case of the DM642, the UART is off-chip and the
tool knows nothing about it. I do not know if there is a "BIOS board
support package" or a custom setup just for this board.
Have you installed any CCS updates after the DM642 software install??
If so, it might be possible that some of the 'DM642 specif stuff' was
over written [it should not have been] by the update.
Also, have you verified that you have the latest DM642 EVM software
for your board??
