Good video. I just ran through this using CCS 6.2.0 and StarterWareFree (community driven varient) and was able to compile the gpioLEDBlink example. The resource explorer no longer seems to work in CCS 6.2.0, or maybe it was just my machine? It was easy enough to just import the project files using project -> import ccs. One pretty big issue I had was the directory names in the examples were completely messed up so I had to modify almost every directory by hand, the include and linker directories needed a lot of work. I'm not sure if this is because I didn't use the resource explorer to import the project or possibly because I'm using the community StarterWare. At anyrate, after compiling the libraries as you showed and fixing the directories in the gpioLED example, I got a successful compile. Waiting on my adapter for my jlink so I can flash it, but the code looks good in IDA, so I have high hopes it will work fine once flashed.
Hi Thanks for the video - it is very nice and informative. Hovever, i am having some trouble replicating your results. I am getting a lot of errors when compiling the gpioLEDBlink example. I can see from your project, that i in my project folder am missing: am335x.cmd, "binaries" and the Target Configurations folder. I have installed the BBB patch from TI's website. What could the problem be? I am obviously missing something. Best regards Simon
Hello Tom, Thanks for sharing such informative tutorial. I was able to import and build the starterware LedBlink project using the import wizard from the resouce explorer view. This means that the whole project has been copied to my workspace folder. This is good because, in this way you keep the original project saved in a safe place without any modifications that you may need to do. The key point is that we need to modify the search file paths of both the compiler and linker in the project properties wizard of CCS. The default ones are based on the default project location inside the starterware library. That's why the building process fails when you try to copy the project to a different location. Once I reentered the paths of both the header files (4 paths) and the libraries (4 libraries) in the CCS project properties wizard, I was able to build it without any problems.
Thanks, the video helps me a lots! I'm using CCSv5.5, segger j-link emulator (v4.56f), and BBB. The gpioled and uartEcho work on the board, and get reply from minicom: "StarterWare AM335X UART Interrupt application" I would spend a lot of time without this video. Thanks again!
Hi ,You mentioned about the target configuration with some selection .Mine pop up with 4 options and cant communicate :0/m3-wakeup SS-0#####CortexA8######0/PRU_0#####0/PRU_1#####only Cortex A8 can connect but doesn't do anything ! and I cant connect the rest !Can you guide us about that please ?!Thanks Ash
Hello Lak, did you find any solution? I have the same problem. I am trying for two days to solve it, but I cannot find any solution. I've already tried to change the compiler to older versions but it still doesn't work.
Very good explanation, thank you very much.
Can you please share a link where to get the pinheader for the JTAG interface on the Beaglebone
Hi Spazz. Can you share our email id so that I can be in touch with you as we want to use BBB with starterware....

Thanks, really helped me out. Everything working with XDS200 from Spectrum and upgraded CCSv6 with TI's free license file.

Sorry for BBB ccxml target configuration where can I find it?

hakuna Y Thank you for the comment! I'm glad it helped you.
Thank you very much for putting effort into making this video, it really helped me out a lot!
i will start the bare beagle programming... after watching this

+Ashkan Golestani I'm sorry but it's been quite a while since I did much with the bbb. I'm too rusty to be much help.
Hi Ashkan, I am having the same problem. Wondering if you have any solutions?
Anybody else get a 'CDT Builder' error when trying to build? I can't figure it out for the life of me!
Hello Lak, did you find any solution?
I have the same problem. I am trying for two days to solve it, but I cannot find any solution.
I've already tried to change the compiler to older versions but it still doesn't work.
No, I haven't. I began to do something else more urgent, but I posted something on their forum and haven't heard anything back yet.
+Lak Tesfaye I just changed the version of code composer. I was using v6.1.3, and now I'm using v6.1.2. It works!
excellent
dongol ahmed Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
