LM3S8962 Build Fail

[mkenneday]

Gday all,

Just bought a Luminary Micro LM3S8962 evaluation board and was hoping to make some programs in Labview and download/run them, as I have read you can do.

Ive installed Labview 2011 with the 'Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers., with Keil uVision 4. 

However, whenever I attempt to build a project, whether its one I quickly made, or an example, during the build phase it comes up with the following error:

[9:37:41 PM] Status: Error
Build target 'LabVIEW'
compiling RTX_Config.c...
C:\Keil\ARM\RV31\INC\RTX_lib.c(183): error: #29: expected an expression
compiling Untitled_ARM.c...
Target not created

Status: Build failed.

I am somewhat new to this, and I have very little idea what the above error means, nor how I can fix it.

Can anyone help!

I should add that the version is Keil uVision4 4.13a.

When you installed the Embedded Module for ARM, did you select the LM3S8962 drivers for install as well?  To double check, you can go into your Windows Control Panel >> Programs and Features >> National Instruments Software >> Uninstall/Change.

In that list, find NI LabVIEW 2011 Embeeded Module for ARM, select it, and click "Modify."  This should re-launch the installer and you can review the components you chose to select.  Did you choose to select the Luminary Micro drivers from the list?

Kyle,

Just did what you mentioned and the box during the installer is unchecked for the Luminary Driver.

However, when I check it and continue installation, it fails.

According to the NI website, to get around that you install the drivers directly from the evaluation CD.

But it turns out the drivers installed already are up to date, with Stellaris relevant versions of the drivers....

But still no solution to the problem.

[Thør]

If you open up the Windows device manager, what does the Luminary Micro device look like in that list?

Additionally, are you able to open Keil uVision from your LabVIEW project?  In what stage in the build does this error message come up?

[mkenneday]

In Device Manager, it lists the Luminary device as the following:

Under USB:- Stellaris Evaluation Board A

- Stellaris Evaluation Board B

Under Ports:- Stellaris Virtual Com Port

I can open uVision from Labview.

Its generates the C-code, then a box pops up with 5 lights, and it seems to be compiling it (uVision Status: Build step 1 of 3). Then Fails. Recently it has been giving me this in the output of that box.

Can anyone help?

I need to have this working for my University final year Thesis.

Its very important I find a solution.

Any help appreciated.

Have you installed the uVision outside the LabVIEW for ARM installer? The uVision you did is 4.13a and with LabVIEW come the 4.03q and RealView 4.11. I think you can't install another version of uVision, only the version of the LabVIEW for ARM package. I recommend you to uninstall LabVIEW and uVision, clean the Windows register with CCleaner or another program and reinstall using only the package of LabVIEW for ARM 2011. After install the LabVIEW for ARM 2011, the installer automatically initiates the uVision installer.

[mkenneday]

Hey,

I reinstalled as you suggested. It seems to build alright then it fails and gives me this error now....

[10:26:23 PM] Status: Error
No ULINK Device found

Your first problem was that the header can't find the headers included.

when you open that file (lm3sxxxx.h) it says:

set INC path to "Stellarisware library folder" "./Keil/ARM/RV31/LIB/Luminary"

if you add that map (in your Keil source path) to the C includes in project options in uVision, it will compile. (I had this error also using LV for ARM 2010 and a newer KEIL uVision).

the error you have now is that uVision can't find a Ulink debugger. 

Do you have plugged in a ULINK2 debugger?

in project options under the tab debugger you can set the debugger and in the settings you can see if it sees an ARM..

[mkenneday]

Thanks for your reply. I can download a program from a C+ example on uVision, but I cant download any examples for Labview.

So I decided to see if there were any differences in the uVision settings between the two and found that the non-labview example has the debugger set to 'Stellaris ICDI'.

So I changed the Labview settings and now get these errors:

What do you mean by a ULINK2 debugger? Shouldnt this be installed with the programs and labview?

Seeing as this eval board is the one advertised by NI, wouldnt they make it more straight forward to use?
