I've just recently moved from SHARC & Visual DSP to TIC6713 with Code Composer Studio. I am working through the tutorials and I have met a problem: In the second tutorial "Project Management" I follow the instructions but when I try to build the project I get: ===================================================== ------------------------- maxminlibrary.pjt - Debug ------------------------- Error, Don't know how to build file "C:\ti\tutorial\dsk6713\maxminmath \maxminlibrary.cmd" [maximumvalue.c] "c:\ti\c6000\cgtools\bin\cl6x" -g -q - fr"C:/ti/myprojects/myapplication/maxminlibrary/Debug" -d"_DEBUG" - mv6700 -@"maxminlibrary/Debug.lkf" "maximumvalue.c" [minimumvalue.c] "c:\ti\c6000\cgtools\bin\cl6x" -g -q - fr"C:/ti/myprojects/myapplication/maxminlibrary/Debug" -d"_DEBUG" - mv6700 -@"maxminlibrary/Debug.lkf" "minimumvalue.c" [Archiving...] "c:\ti\c6000\cgtools\bin\ar6x" @"Debug.lkf" ==> new archive 'C:\ti\myprojects\myapplication\maxminlibrary\Debug \maxminlibrary.lib' ==> building archive 'C:\ti\myprojects\myapplication\maxminlibrary \Debug\maxminlibrary.lib' Build Complete, 1 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks. ===================================================== The only place I have to deviate from the instructions is the section that states: "Browse to c:\ti\c6000\cgtools\lib\, select rts.lib and click Open." Well, I don't have a rts.lib, but I do have these in that directory. I chose rts6700.lib. Somewhat randomly. lnk.cmd rts.src rts6200.lib rts6200e.lib rts6201.lib rts6201e.lib rts6400.lib rts6400e.lib rts6700.lib rts6700e.lib rts6701.lib rts6701e.lib While the CCS documentation is *excellent* when compared to visual DSP, they often explain "what to do" rather than "why", which makes troubleshooting this alone quite difficult. Is the rts file the problem here? -- Toby

My guess from the output is that you are making a archive (.lib) from the project. In CCS environment the project can be either archive (.lib) or executable type(.out). You don't attach a command file (or rts.lib) to the archive project. That is only valid for a executable(.out) project. Probably the mistake you have made is while creating the project, you chose the wrong type, i.e. a archive project instead of an executable project. Let me know if that is not the case.

The documentation told me to add the command file and rts.lib. I tried it without them and it compiles fine. Must be a documentation mistake... Thanks for your help. Looking inside the command file, it looks like it tells CCS where in the target's memory to load the parts of the program. Things like: .text > IPRAM .bss > IDRAM CCS won't open rts.lib, but dragging it into notepad it looks like a binary. What are those two files for? -- Toby

The linker command (.cmd) file is for telling the linker how the memory is arranged and where to put the various sections in memory. The rts.lib is an implemetation of standard 'c' funtions library. Things like malloc, string functions etc. are part of this. The c environment initialization is also part of this library.
