Hello Sasha
You are correct in that the create platform wizard now runs and allows selection of a family and device on the first screen and also allows importing an existing platform on the second screen. However after making the necessary changes and clicking finish the wizard crashes while trying to generate the binary files from the created text (xml, etc) files. The error message is "can't create session manager: can't find a JVM; the environment variable XDCTOOLS_JAVA_HOME is set but does not seem to be a directory containing a valid 32 bit Java runtime environment."
This error message is misleading in that XDCTOOLS_JAVA_HOME is definitely set correctly (its value is "C:\Program Fiiles\Java\jre7", this is the default Java install folder on Windows and Java is there) and, in any case, the platform wizard always seems to generate this message for any fault. For example the CCS v5.4 platform wizard always crashed with this same error message if you clicked finish without importing, and then modifying, an existing platform.
In fact this does not really matter too much any more. I am using CCS v6 because I have a product to develop which needs to actually ship at some stage. After struggling with CCS v6 for over a week now I have decided that TI have shipped it well before it was finished. Although the introduction of TI RTOS has caused a major change in the layout of SYS/BIOS and how parts of it, particularly instrumentation but also the network development kit, work none of the documentation or examples have been updated to match. In fact none of the examples really seem to work, paticularly since most of them demonstration SYS/BIOS functionality that has changed yet the examples have not been updated. This is especially frustrating since at this time TI RTOS has no relevance to the 5000 or 6000 family DSP processors that I wish to develop for. Until TI have actually finished CCS v6 I will switch back to CCS v5, at least I know I will be able to finish my firmware with that version.
