Code comPoser Studio for SM470R1B1M-HT.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SM470R1B1M-HT, TMS470R1B1M, TMS470R1A256

Hi,

I am planning to use SM470R1B1M-HT microcontroller in my new design for high temperature applications. I tried with Code Composer Studio by installing free version, I couldn't find this micro controller in the device selection option. This device have any other names? I would like to program in C. Which is the best IDE for compiling and debugging e.t.c. i mean which development tool is better for this controller?  Can anyone provide me some Documents related to this micro controller?  This is my first question and if I have done any mistakes or this is not right question to ask here then please excuse me.

Thanks in advance.

  • Rami,

    You should be able to use CCS with this device but you would have to manually build a target configuration for it.  I believe the recommended toolset for this device is IAR.  I am asking around to see if I can find someone on the device team that can confirm this

  • Hi,

    Just adding to John's response, the device you are using is the military version of the mass market TMS470R1B1M (ARM7TDMI).

    As he mentioned, CCS is capable of debugging ARM7 devices (I can configure and connect to my old TMS470R1A256 starter kit) but it does not have a built-in flash memory erase/write program loader - as far as I recall these ARM7-based TMS470 devices were supported by IAR (my development board was).

    However, looking at the processor page I see a flash API module package that contains several C functions that manipulate the device internal flash. Considering that, you could potentially load a small program to the device SRAM memory and, when executing it, properly program its flash. Its documentation contains some information on how to do it, but ideally you would need a CCS project that already configures this for you, but unfortunately we don't have one. The device experts on the device forum would probably have additional insights on how to do this.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

     

  • Hi Rafael And John,

    Thank you very much for your reply's.

    I haven't ordered micro-controller yet , I am planning to use this device in my new design for high temperature application( 190 °C).  I want to know which Development tool is better to use when it comes to programming. I have tried by installing code composer free version to get some knowledge on it. I will go for IAR as per your suggestions.

    Regards,

    Rami.
