Some long-standing issues affect the Embedded Coder product.

Demonstration Programs Do Not Run well with Incorrect GEL Files

To run the Embedded Coder demos, you must load the GEL files before you run the demos. For some boards, the demos run fine with the default CCSv4 GEL file. Some boards need to run device-specific GEL files for the demos to work.

Here are demos and boards which require specific GEL files.

• Board: C5416 DSK

  Demos: rtdxtutorial, rtdxlmsdemo

  Emulator: XDS-510

  GEL file to load: c5416_dsk.gel

In general, if a demo does not run with the default GEL file, try using a device-specific GEL file by defining the file in the CCSv4 Setup Utility.

PostCodeGenCommand Commands Do Not Affect IDE Projects

PostCodeGenCommand commands, such as the addCompileFlags and addLinkFlags functions in the BuildInfo API do not affect code generated while System Target File is set to idelink_ert.tlc or idelink_grt.tlc.

Use the 'Compiler options string' and 'Linker options string' parameters in the Configuration Parameters > Code Generation > IDE Link pane instead. You can also automate this process using a model callback to SET_PARAM the 'CompilerOptionsStr' and 'LinkerOptionsStr' parameters.
