I am pretty disappointing that TI is unable to provide CCS tutorials that don't work without having to do a whole bunch of things that are not even discussed or covered in the tutorials. I have finally at least gotten to the point that the example projects will load into the work space. But none of them will run according to the instructions in any tutorial I have found (e.g. http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/spmu352/spmu352.pdf).
I am trying to get running on Windows XP and CCS 5.5.
Hello has five errors when building and Blinky gets three. All the other ones have errors too. Here are the errors in Blinky:
#10010 errors encountered during linking; "blinky.out" not built blinky C/C++ Problem
#10056 symbol "g_pfnVectors" redefined: first defined in "./tm4c123gh6pm_startup_ccs.obj"; redefined in "./startup_ccs.obj" blinky C/C++ Problem
#10056 symbol "ResetISR" redefined: first defined in "./tm4c123gh6pm_startup_ccs.obj"; redefined in "./startup_ccs.obj" blinky C/C++ Problem
The driverlib, usblib and grlibs all have errors like...
"This project was created for a device that is not currently recognized: Cortex M.LM4F110B2QR. Please install the device descriptor, or migrate the project to the closest match from the supported devices by adjusting project properties."
...and when I try to select the TIVA C series and the appropriate board, that produces yet another error.
AND, there are a bunch of TM4C123G choices available, but none match the board. I finally figured out by studying the pamphlet that came with the board that the "closest" match is TM4C123GH6PM, but that doesn't change the result when selected.
Okay fine, so I installed the Energia IDE, followed their Windows instructions and tried it, and of course it fails with a cryptic error as well.
So, I moved over to a Macbook, downloaded Energia for Mac, followed their instructions and had it working in less that 5 minutes (including download time)!
Seriously? Is this the best you can do?
Is there some reason for all this "not working" experience and what is the fix?
Thanks.
