Is there a C compiler for the CLA or is it programmed only in Assembler?
Arye Perlmutter Is there a C compiler for the CLA or is it programmed only in Assembler?
Currently the tools only support assembly programming of the CLA. In the May timeframe we will come out with a C Compiler which will allow the CLA to be programmed in a subset of C. Restrictions are, for example, 2 parameters per function call, only one level deep calls, etc. These are restrictions that make sense based on what the CLA is intended to do.

Lori,
How real is the compiler? I have a customer starting work on the CLA.

Terry,
The beta period just came to a close and the release will show up in CCS updates by the end of the month. I will post a follow-up when it goes out.

I see there is a wiki page here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C2000_CLA_C_Compiler Is the compiler in release?
Hi John
The compiler is available as part of Codegen tools 6.1.0. You can get it through the update menu in CCS4.
It isn't available through ccs5 just yet but that is in the works.

Vishal
Turns out, I replied too soon. The CCS5 update issue was resolved. You can find the relevant info at the wiki:

Thanks! Any metrics available on the performance of the compiler vs. hand coding assembly?
Are there any examples for CLA C compiler available?
Pavel,
The CLA examples will be in the next controlSUITE release. The update should be going out this week.

controlSUITE v2.8.7 is now live and includes the CLA examples. (Look under controlSUITE\device_support\f2806x\v130\F2806x_examples_cla)
There will also be motor libraries and HVMTRPFCKIT examples for CLA compiler....shortly.....
so shortly that they are available now :)
The CLA C Compiler is available with F2803x?
How to setup CLA C Compiler in order to use to compile for F2803x?
Binh,
The CLA C examples for the F2803x should be in the next controlSUITE Release (Sometime next week).
We have motor control examples running on CLA using the CLA C compiler, they are available here
