Using CodeSourcery GNU toolchain on CCS5

Sudhanand Dayalan

Hi,

I am trying to create a project on CC5 for ARM and would like to use Codesourcery tools. I am currently unable to do it as CCS returns an error when I try to do so. I performed the following steps.

In the CCS "preferences ->CCS->Code Generation Tools" I set the GNU Tools fro ARM to point to the Codesourcery install directory (C:/Program Files/CodeSourcery/Sourcery G++ Lite/bin).
I set the various tools executable (for eg C Compiler: arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc.exe).
I Started creating project (New->CCS Project).
In the "Project Setting" step, I selected "Code Generation tools" as GNU.
In the "project Settings" step the screen is blank. When I hit Finish, CC returns an error "Project cannot be Created.: The details show java.lang.NullPointerException

I found a Twiki link with instruction for CodeSourcery for CC4, Is there a simillar page for CCS5?

Thank you

Regards,

Sudhanand.

For creating GCC projects in CCS 5.1, this page should be helpful: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_to_create_GCC_projects_in_CCSv5

The steps/screenshots there are specific to the Linux CCS, but the same procedure should apply to the Windows version. When selecting an empty project under C Project, you can select the default Corss GCC toolchain. You have to then modify the paths to the compiler and linker executables as explained in that wiki page (in steps 8 onwards).

Hope this helps.
