cannot run cl470 in CCS3.3

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Hello TI,

    I worked for a project using OMAPL138, and take CCS3.3 as the develop tool.  When i chose TMS470 Code Generation tool V5.0.1 for compilation , an error"Build error: cannot run cl470" occured. Is that mean i can not choose the V5 version in CCS3.3? if i want to use -gcc  option, is there another way to update the compilation?

  • Hi,

    Why don't you install the new CCS v5.4 and check whether you face the same error or not?

  • Hi,

    The reason for this issue is that CGT 5.x for ARM renamed all the binaries to use the "arm" prefix instead of the old "470" suffix. This means the builder binary was renamed from cl470.exe to armcl.exe, therefore v3.3 does not recognize it.

    Therefore, in addition to Gautam's suggestion, you could also try to simply copy the armcl.exe and rename it to cl470.exe and see if v3.3 recognizes it (they are inside the "bin" directory of the CGT directory).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

     P.S. this is an unsupported combination of tools therefore other issues may occur.

  • Hello Gautam,

        I see that CCS 5.4 is quit different with CCS 3.3, and the project i am working in leave me little time. So i want to install CCS v5 some days later.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Rafael,

    I tried to copy armcl.exe to the CGT directory, and renamed it to cl470.exe, but the error occured again. It seems that the CCS3.3 doesn't recognize it.

    Thanks a lot,

    Huang!

  • Hello guys,

    I have the same problem. What I did is just to delete all the"arm"prefix files in the bin folder, and replace them with all the "470"files. Then it does compile and no errors.
