How to make CCS3.3 to support CLA

Ken4147

I have upgraded CCS 3.3 to R12 (....83.13), have installed latest compilation tool, CSP for 2802x, 2803x, and SpectrumDigital's newest XDS510USB Driver.

Then, when setup CCS configuration, F28035_XDS510USB was added (2 descendent CPUs were listed as well: TMS320F2800_0 & cla_0).

But when tried to save, it showed that "processor ID" was error.

Alternatively, when tried to save & exit directly, it exited abnormally - the F28035_XDS510USB actually had not been saved.

I found a document SPRAB45.PDF to workaround.

My question is, Is such approach really working?

If I use a platinum full version already, do not want to install another limited version on my system,

so, Is there another method(some CLA-support package for CCS3.3) to do the same thing?

The last question is, I tried several times, never successfully installed the limited version, such installation made my XP crashed - I had to use power button restarting.

Is there any recognized manipulation let installation go through well (in a manner of overwritten is ok)?

Thanks.

    Ken,

    Overwriting one CCS install with another usually doesn't work well. 

    Unfortunately CCS Platinum + SR12 doesn't support CLA.  We are creating a couple of new releases to address this:

    • An SR13 that will have CLA in it
    • An updated 3.3 Platinum CD image that rolls in the content of SR12 + some other device support including CLA, newer compilers and DSP/BIOS.  This will replace the CD when you buy CCSv3.3. 

    That CD image is going to be ready prior to SR13.  If you don't want to install the limited tools (in a separate directory) I could see if we could give you an early version of the updated CD image.  The risk is that it is just entering its soak period and may require changes.

    Regards,

    John

    Hi, John,

    Thanks for your helpful information. It prevents me from trying and trying again.

    And, what is the rough time SR13 released?

    Thanks & appreciates.

    Has anyone this problem?

    Since I have tried again reinstall CCS3.3 platinum full version, and reinstall limited version into another folder.

    It stuck my XP during the "update system" installing phase.

    I tried what I can try and had already no idea about that any more.

    I need your help, thanks.

    So, I caught the cat.

    I installed XDS560 driver in my XP formerly, but actually I have no XDS560 emulator. But it doesn't matter.....(I just want to suggest without reason that be far away from XDS560 driver if you have no XDS560 emu.....).

    In my experiments, the 32K limit version would have an error message ("DevCon......XDS560...") during the installing phase of "after files were copied, updating system...", but such message window was not "activated and focused" and hidden behind the progress window, that causes you waiting eternally (I still have no idea why it hung my XP).

    So, move the progress window aside while beginning to install, you will see that message. (EXP: I tried in an XP that has never installed any CCSs).

    John,

    you said in this message that a SR13 of CCS3 Platinum would be available soon (it was July 2009).

    Up today no SR13 is present and support to CLA is only possible by installing the 32kB limited version (that I have not tried until now).

    Moreover, when installing the CSP v3.3.2903 it seems support to F28035 with CLA with XDS510USB is possible: but the setup of CCS exits without  saving or produces an error message (already reported by other guys).

     

    So: how can CC3 Platinum have support for F28035 + CLA ? Both for XDS510USB and XDS100 ?

    Roberto.

    Roberto,

    SR13 never happened.  I can send you a private message with a link to a 3.3 image that includes SR12 content + CLA. However this is no SR13 patch.

    John,

    I will try the version of CCS you have sent me. Thank you very much.

    But, can you explain why TI is not providing an official release that supports CLA ? Perhaps they want CCS3 users to move to CCS4 ?

    I think that this is not a good way to do so !!! Also I find CCS4 very "heavy" development environment and I prefer for the moment to continue to use CCS3.

    I have another question you may be able to answer, that has nothing to do with CLA support. Sometimes it happens that certain C code is not compiled, in the sense that I can't find any corresponding ASM code (when doing mixed source/asm view). Just yesterday I experienced for the second time this problem and I cannot understand why it is possible. After some recompilations, one of the C lines that was not compiled before, finally was. I don't remember if I changed some build options or not in the meanwhile. But for sure some more lines are not compiled at the moment. I have disabled all code optimization switches.

    Thank you, regards

    Roberto

    P.S. For you information: I am an assistant professor at the University of Udine and I have been using TI's DSPs for motor control and power applications since the introduction of F240, in 1995). I am very well known among your Italian TI colleagues!

    Roberto,

    We are really encouraging people to move to CCSv4.  CCSv3.3 is in a state now where we do not do any additional development work but still support questions via forums.  It is fine to continue to use it, many people do, however we are not able to provide any fixes.  A lot of people do find the v4 environment to be overwhelming, in CCSv5 we are going to attempt to have a more simple user interface mode to help with this.

    My first thought with your compile issue was that it was just the optimizer being aggressive but you say you have optimization turned off.  Are you sure the code is reachable (i.e. part of a conditional block that won't be true)?  If the compiler determines it cannot be reached I could see it not creating asm for it.  Is it a particular function that is not being compiled or specific lines within a function?

     

    Regards,

    John
