If you're working on embedded systems development using Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio (CCS) 6, you may come across the need to use an obj file to integrate external libraries or code modules. In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of using an obj file in CCS 6 using the command line interface (CMD).
Step 1: Open CMD in CCS 6
First, open CCS 6 and navigate to the command line interface (CMD) within the IDE. You can find the CMD tool in the 'View' menu or by searching for 'CMD' in the search bar.
Step 2: Set the Workspace Directory
Once CMD is open, navigate to the directory where your CCS 6 workspace is located. Use the 'cd' command to change directories and set the workspace directory as the current directory.
Step 3: Link the Obj File
Next, you'll need to link the obj file to your CCS 6 project. Use the 'lnkobj' command followed by the path to the obj file you want to use. This will add the obj file to the project and make it available for compilation and linking.
Step 4: Compile and Build the Project
After linking the obj file, you can proceed with compiling and building your CCS 6 project. Use the appropriate build commands to compile your source code and link the obj file along with any other required files.
Step 5: Verify Integration
Once the project is built, you can verify that the obj file has been successfully integrated into your CCS 6 project. Check for any compilation or linking errors related to the obj file. If everything builds without errors, the obj file has been successfully integrated.
Step 6: Debug and Test
Finally, debug and test your CCS 6 project to ensure that the obj file is functioning as expected. Use the debugger and emulator tools provided in CCS 6 to test the functionality of your project, including the integrated obj file.
By following these steps, you can effectively use an obj file in CCS 6 using CMD and integrate external code modules or libraries into your embedded systems development workflow. This can help you leverage existing code and resources to streamline your development process and build more robust embedded systems applications.
