migrating problems from CCStudio C5510 DSK version 2.1 to CCStudio version 3.1

Hi All,

I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley I recently joined a research group and got involved in the DSP project We have developed some DSP code for our project and used the following tools:

We used to build and compile the code using the CCStudio C5510 DSK version 2.1 when it was connected to the DSK board. Then, we took the .out file and used the CCStudio EVAL version 3.1 to load the program into our own target using the XDS5510PP emulator. We have debugged our code and it worked fine on our platform.

Then we decided to buy the full version of CCStudio 3.1. We took the same code as before to build and load into our target using only CCS 3.1 full version. However, our platform doesnt run anymorei.e. we dont get any error when we compile the code or load the code, but at the same time our boards dont do anything It seems the .out file created by the build function of the CCStudio C5510DSK version 2.1 is different than the .out file created by the build function of the CCStudio version 3.1.

Does anybody know why and how to fix our problems??? How can we make these two versions to be compatible??

Dear Jeff
The program I'm working with contain I/O port (GPIO) functions. Why would this be a problem???

Maryam,

Including me you are the third person who has reported this problem that
I'm aware of. Maybe someone at TI will look into it (nudge nudge).

I don't know the ultimate solution but if you still have 2.1 installed a
quick work around is to direct 3.1 to use the 2.1 compile tools. Open
the help/about window and click on component manager. Expand the code
generation tools and the rest should be self explanatory.

The fact that others have successfully migrated to 3.1 but some are
having this exact problem hints at compatibility issues with one of the
add in TI functions. FWIW I am using the IIR filter, FIR filter and FFT
functions.

Hi All,

I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley... I recently joined a research
group and got involved in the DSP project... We have developed some DSP
code for our project and used the following tools:

We used to build and compile the code using the CCStudio C5510 DSK
version 2.1 when it was connected to the DSK board. Then, we took the
.out file and used the CCStudio EVAL version 3.1 to load the program
into our own target using the XDS5510PP emulator. We have debugged our
code and it worked fine on our platform.

Then we decided to buy the full version of CCStudio 3.1. We took the
same code as before to build and load into our target using only CCS 3.1
full version. However, our platform doesn't run anymore...i.e. we don't
get any error when we compile the code or load the code, but at the same
time our boards don't do anything... It seems the .out file created by
the build function of the CCStudio C5510DSK version 2.1 is different
than the .out file created by the build function of the CCStudio version
3.1.

Does anybody know why and how to fix our problems??? How can we make
these two versions to be compatible??

Don't know, and it may not be the problem. Something like tools version
incompatibility is difficult to pin down -- obviously even TI has a hard
time, otherwise it would not occur after all the testing that TI does
before a new tools release.

What you can try -- although tedious and time-consuming -- is to
comment-out or otherwise disable sections of code and continue to run
side-by-side comparisons with 2.2 and 3.1 until you find differences. For
example create a build that that doesn't need the GPIO accesses to
function (test build) and see if that one runs identical between 2.2 and
3.1 tools.

Dear Don,
I opened the help/about window and clicked on component manager and looked at the "Build tool", I don't have any option of changing the build function from version 3.1 to 2.1. I never had a copy of CCS version 2.1, however I have a copy of the CCS C5510 DSK version 2.1. Are they same thing??
