Compiler for TI 320C6701 Floating-Point DSP

Hello, I need to modify C++ code produced in 2005 for TI 320C6701 (single 6U Digital Signal Processor) and no hardware changes allowed.  Does anyone know if CCS v6 is best IDE to use for code analysis, logic changes, and recompilation (target code generation)?  In addition, I'm anticipating potential need to use in-circuit emulator for debugging, however, main interest at this point is recommended IDE for logic analysis, implementing code changes, and re-compiling/re-building target for execution on the TI 320C6701 DSP.  Note original development platform was PC/windows2K and CCS v2 (I think); now using Win-7.  Thanks in advance, MI

    To build for that old processor you need to use compiler version 7.4.x.  I don't know if that compiler version comes with the default installation of CCS 6.1.  If it doesn't, you can always use the menu option Help | Install New Software to get it.  Use the latest 7.4.x version you can.  You may find this wiki article helpful.

    That is not my expertise, so I am not sure.  I suspect CCS 6.1 will work just fine.  If you have any problems, please post a new thread in the Code Composer forum.

    Thanks and regards,

    Please clarify prior response; Where (and how) do I acquire "compiler version 7.4.x"?  Is that a separate plug-in for Code Composer Studio 6.x?  I need to make sure we know exactly what's required to re-build executable target for old hardware (TI 320C6701 DSP), and how to get it. 

    Planning to compile/integrate/test/deploy code updates soon.

    Many Thanks , MI

    When you install CCS version 6.1.x or 6.2.x, C6000 compiler version 7.4.x is installed as well.  It is located in a directory similar to ...

    C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\c6000_7.4.18

    Thanks and regards,
