Can't install arm compiler tools 5.2.0 with CCS

The eclipse log file says:

!ENTRY com.ti.ccstudio.p2app 4 0 2014-12-17 19:58:42.289
!MESSAGE The installable unit com.ti.cgt.tms470..*.win32.feature.group.* has not been found.

But, I installed it using "Install New Software...".  However, when I switched to 5.2.0 and recompiled I get:

#10269  output file "dvf.out" exceeds code size limit

The help for 10269 says that I can only use 16 KB on the MSP430 - but I'm using the CC3200.  OK, I suppose the

help is wrong.  It's an ARM compiler after all and I wasn't using even half of memory before.  When I look at

installed software I would think that it should show only the latest version, but I see both 5.1.9 and 5.2.0.  I also

have 5.1.6 and 5.1.8 installed.

Oh!  A further message in the log.  To continue from where I left off:

I'm back in business with 5.1.9.

However, there is this post http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/tiva_arm/f/908/p/389740/1377017#1377017 that reports that the TivaWare freertos_demo for the DK-TM4C129X:

- Compiles successfully with the TI ARM 5.1.9 compiler

- If use the TI AM 5.2.0 compiler the linker fails reporting the error:

<Linking>
error #10269: output file "freertos_demo.out" exceeds code size limit
error #10010: errors encountered during linking; "freertos_demo.out" not built

- The TivaWare freertos_demo for the DK-TM4C129X successfully compiles and links when the TI ARM 5.1.9 compiler is used with a free license.

- The TivaWare freertos_demo for the DK-TM4C129X fails to link when the TI ARM 5.2.0 compiler is used with a free license, with the linker reporting "error #10269: output file "freertos_demo.out" exceeds code size limit".

- The TivaWare freertos_demo for the DK-TM4C129X successfully compiles and links when the TI ARM 5.2.0 compiler is used with a full license.

Therefore, it appears that the TI ARM 5.2.0 compiler has imposed a code size limit when a free license is used - not sure if this was intentional.

Edit: Correct compiler versions

Randy,

What is happening is a release timing issue. There is a code size limit in the 5.2.0 compiler, it is not supposed to apply to CC3200 but the logic that controls what devices it applies to is in CCS and the CCS update with that logic isn't out yet and the compiler release is. I am going to send you a friend request. Once that is setup I can send you a private message with a workaround.

John

I am experiencing the exact same issue, can you put a workaround up?

Jakob,

I will send you a private message with a special license file that will workaround this issue until CCSv6.1 comes out.

John

Hi, JohnS

I have same error. Can you send me your special license file for workaround?

Hi, JohnS

Thank you for your reply.
I will download for fix.
