CCS: CCS App Center does not list TI-RTOS Add-ons

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: 66AK2H12, CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have tried a clean installation of CCS v6.2 and v7.0 both with the same results on Linux. App Center mainly lists compilers as Code Composer Studio Add-ons. None of the TI-RTOS add-ons are there nor the Grace (I think it is called for the MSP series). I need to re-install TI-RTOS for the TivaC range. The main difference in what I am doing now versus before (other than trying the newer versions of CCS) is that I have added SimpleLink CC13xx devices to my selection.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Gerhardus,

    With newer CCS versions we have changed things around somewhat in terms of where you go to get software and tools.  Tool add-ons such as versions of compilers are still available in App Center.  However device software packages like SimpleLink SDKs, TI-RTOS packages, TM4 SDK (TivaWare) are available via Resource Explorer.  Resource Explorer enables you to browse the contents of these packages and the when you are ready to use them you can download them from there as well.  In the capture below I have opened Resource Explorer from the View menu.  I then selected that I was using the TM4C129 LaunchPad.  The tool then shows me the resources available for this device, which includes the TI-RTOS package.  In this case I have the TM4C package installed locally but the TI RTOS package is actually located in the cloud.  When I select to use it the tool will download and install it locally.

    Regards,

    John

    As mentioned by John, TI-RTOS is now available through Resource Explorer instead of CCS App Center. We do have a note to that effect in the CCS App Center but perhaps we need to make that text more visible or in a different color, as it is easy to miss.

    Thanks. I did actually see the text. What confused me was the 'Install on Desktop' in the resource explorer. This sounded more like the documentation only available off-line than for example TI-RTOS being installed and available for use.

    Thanks for answering.

    [ I made a response here a few days ago and it has yet to be display. I am going to try again but I'm afraid the details will not be as good. Pardon if both eventually show up.]

    Hi - New user of CCS and TI-RTOS. I have a similar problem as described here in this thread. I am using CCS7.2 and have 66AK2H12 EVM. I can not find any examples. I do not have the note under App Center mentioned above (I only have SYS/BIOS v6 and that says "New projects should use TI-RTOS).  Under Resource Explorer I do not see my Device or Board listed in the search box.

    My goal is to learn about the development environment and programming the ARMs on the EVM eventually developing a TI-RTOS solution for a project I have. I've got a simple 'new project' working (File -> New -> CCS Project -> SYS/BIOS -> Typical (w/ separate config project) but really need to study some more advanced examples such as ones with networking.

    For the 66AK2H12 EVM I don't think any examples for peripherals are available in the App Center or Resource Explorer.

    There are examples supplied with the PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-K2HK. See Processor SDK RTOS Examples and Demonstrations for the examples available for each EVM. E.g. the Processor SDK RTOS Image Processing Demo which demonstrates the use of the NDK for networking (the example also demonstrates other SDK features/components).

    Thanks but I've looked there. Leading to this link:

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_RTOS_Examples

    for example, it talks about the Hello World Example.  Step 3. says "On SYS/BIOS scroll down to AM572X --> Cortex A --> Generic Example --> click on Hello Example." I don't have or can't find that.  I've got three folders: 'Device Documentation', 'Development Tools' and 'Software'. There are numerous folders under software including three for TI-RTOS (for MSP430, CC2650 and TivaC) but none of them have examples under them (only dev tools and docs).

    I think the confusion is that in CCS 7.2 there are now two different "Resource Explorer" views.

    From your description you opened "View -> Resource Explorer" which doesn't have the SYS/BIOS example projects from the processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_RTOS_Examples link.

    Whereas you need to open "View -> Resource Explorer Classic" which in CCS 7.2 does have the SYS/BIOS examples. This is because the referenced Wiki page was created for CCS 6.

    Yes ! It is all there now under classic. As a newbie to the CCS and TI world this has been very confusing. Searches leading to results that don't seem to match up at all with my installation and structures. Thank you for taking the time to help me.
