CCSv6 CC3200 SDK/Compiler?

Alexander Rowsell

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, CC3200

I've just downloaded the CC3200 SDK, as it went live on ti.com last night. It installs well, but my understanding of CCS is that I can't compile for this chip until support is integrated into CCS. Under Wireless in the new project wizard there isn't any option for any of the CC3xxx series, even though I have the CC3100 and CC3200 SDKs installed.

Could somebody help explain what I can do to start writing code? I think I know how to set up the project options so it can find the SDK, but even then I don't know what to put in the Preprocessor Directives, or even if it'll support it yet.

Is it possible I could just use a Cortex M4 compiler? I may have answered my own question - I don't think I can, because of the way the CC3200 is built.

    Hello,

    Official CCS support for CC3200 should be available early next week (via the App Center). A full CCS workshop for CC3200 will also be available from the CCS Training page next week.

    Thanks

    The device support package is available via the app center in CCSv6 now.  Note that the App Center shows content based on what device families you originally installed.  In this case it is a bit odd since the package adds support for a new family.  If you originally installed support for one of the cc2xxx families then it should show up.  If you didn't install that you can run the CCS install again and add support for that family.  We will also integrate support for CC3200 in the upcoming CCSv6.0.1 release so that there is no patch to add.

    I just bought a TI CC3200 launchpad demo board.  I am running windows 7 and I have just downloaded and installed code composer studio 6.0.1.00040 as per the instructions in http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru376a/swru376a.pdf.

    When I attempt to install the required add-ons, the TI-RTOS for simplelink add-on appears, but I cannot find the CC3200 add-on.  I tried to continue without installing this, and none of the example eclipse projects will build.  When I got stuck, I uninstalled and reinstalled code composer studio and it still did not appear and your example projects still would not build.  

    It would be super great if you could tell me how to install the software that is necessary to do anything with the hardware that I already paid you for.  I really hate when companies crap out half-tested eclipse IDEs that don't work as they are supposed to, then just say "oh sorry, it's not supported yet,"  like your developers have been doing in every forum post I have read on this issue.

    If you guys would please take the time to actually solve my issue that would be great - you know, instead of saying you'll "support it" next week or next year?  Sorry to be so abrasive, but I really think installing the IDE should be the EASIEST part of this... and I already "supported" you with my $35.  Sincerely, Alex.

    Hi Alexander,

         See, if this will work. At CCSV6 App Center type "cc3200" at the search box and change "Relevance" to "All". See, below. CC3200 Add-on and TI-RTOS for Simplelink should appear.

    If you have installed 6.0.1 then you may already have CC3200 support installed.  For 6.0.0 you had to install an update to get it but that package was then included in 6.0.1.  If you updated from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 the you would need to add it like Markel has shown.

    Regards,
