David,

It would be good to understand the issues you are facing better - if
possible, since building with CE 2.0.1 should make life a lot easier
than it seems to have done for you.  Sorry you've not had a good
experience so far.

Couple of comments (which you may already know, but thought worth
mentioning) :-

- you should only see the rtdx issue if you have migrated to bios
5.32.01 - If you stick with 5.31.08 you shouldn't see this issue.
Setting the env var as Sam responded should remove the check though if
you need (or want) to use the latest bios version.

- changing the memory map when using CE 2.0.1 shouldn't require any
rebuilding or modifying of dsplink - this can now be specified at
run-time and passed to codec-engine to do this for you when you build
your application.

- there is a new build option in 2.0.1 which tells codec engine based
application to get the configuration of codecs and memory map from the
dsp server.  This means you should be able to specify in a single place
in the memory map in the .tcf of the server, then have it inherited by
the application config code.  An example usage of this api for an
application config script is shown below.

/*
 *  ======== Engine Configuration ========
 */
var Engine = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.Engine');
var demoEngine = Engine.createFromServer(
    "myserver",
    "./server.x64P",
    "mycompany.mygroup.myservers.server"
    );

Please post your server build error.
