Code Composer Studio 1.19
Information For Windows 98 Users
Windows 98 Second Release has a different mechanism for defining 'Environment Space'. When installing software which contributes environment variables (such as Code Composer Studio), it is possible to exceed the maximum available amount, at which point Windows 98 will boot with an error message in a white dialog box indicating "Not Enough Memory to Run Program" or "Out of Environment Space".
Unfortunately, the only solution is to restart the PC and hold down the Ctrl key while booting or press F8 until the Windows 98 Startup menu appears. At this point, select "Command Prompt Only" and manually remove all non-essential environment variables. We recommend method invoking Edit from the command prompt and removing the unused Virtual Port settings from the autoexec.bat file. In Windows 98, the autoexec.bat file can have lines longer than 128 chars (which was not the case for Windows 95). Therefore, the environment variables can be collapsed to help mitigate the environment space problem.
The following example shows the minimum requirement for the C6211 DSK tools (with only 1 virtual port defined) and assumes the parallel port is located at 0x378 (LPT1):
SET C6X_A_DIR=.;C:\ti\c6000\bios\include;C:\ti\c6000\bios\lib;C:\ti\c6000\cgtools\include;C:\ti\c6000\cgtools\lib;C:\ti\c6000\rtdx\include;C:\ti\c6000\rtdx\lib SET C6X_C_DIR=.;C:\ti\c6000\bios\include;C:\ti\c6000\bios\lib;C:\ti\c6000\cgtools\include;C:\ti\c6000\cgtools\lib;C:\ti\c6000\rtdx\include;C:\ti\c6000\rtdx\lib SET UNIFY_PODDRVR_A=dsk6211.dll SET UNIFY_PODPORT_A=0x378 SET UNIFY_PODMODE_A=0 SET PATH="C:\ti\C6000\DSK\BIN;C:\ti\c6000\cgtools\bin;%PATH%" |
