Hello,
I am running into an issue where Code Composer Studio (CCS) 3.3 isn't able to locate DSP/BIOS files when I attempt to load a project. For example, if I attempt to load the example DSP/BIOS 5.33.03 project "hello.pjt" from C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\examples\basic\hello, I get multiple messages stating that Code Composer Studio "Cannot find file: <file name>". Some of the files that it cannot find are buf.h62, Std.h, Sts.h, Swi.h, Tsk.h, etc. These files are all located in the bios directory at C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\include. I also noticed that the project *.tcf file is shown in the project documents folder rather than the DSP/BIOS Config folder. I get errors when I try to build in this scenario. This has occurred with two different projects.
Any ideas as to why CCS is unable to find the BIOS files and/or how I might fix it? How should CCS know where the BIOS files are located?
In case it helps, I was encountering an issue prior to this one where Code Composer Studio (CCS) 3.3 displayed the following message when I would try to load a project: "No build tools for the target specified in this project were found. Cannot open project "...". Please use Component Manager to ensure the appropriate project server and build tools are selected." I saw this message with two different projects, my main project and the DSP/BIOS 5.33.03 "hello.pjt" (in C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\examples\basic\hello). Both projects have the Build Options "Target Version" set to "C64x+ (-mv6400+). I have C6000 Code Generation Tools v6.1.20 and DSP/BIOS 5.33.03 enabled under TMS320C64XX in the CCS Component Manager. I got past this message by adding C:\CCStudio_v3.3\C6000 Code Generation Tools 6.1.20;C:\CCStudio_v3.3\C2000 Code Generation Tools 5.2.11; to my PATH environment variable.
I am using CCS 3.3.82.13, with BIOS 5.33.03, and Code Generation Tools v6.1.20 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I understand that Windows 7 is not an officially supported operating system for CCS 3.3, but we would like to avoid upgrading at this time if at all possible. I ran all the installations and programs as an administrator. I installed Code Composer, DSP BIOS, and the code generation tools directly to the C drive (as opposed to in the Program Files folder).
Thanks!
