TMS570LC4357: Running Halcogen and CCS GUI via command line (script)

Peter Lu

Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN, UNIFLASH

Is there a way to run the Halcogen program and CCS (compiler+linker) via command line? The/my current build process is too manually-intensive, and hence error-prone. It would be nice if I can just script the entire process, especially for a "production" build.

Perhaps the CCS output product (.out) could be downloaded and run via command line as well.

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

HALCOGen doesn't support the options through the command line.

You can use the command line below to handle CCS project:

c:\ti\ccsv1210\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec.exe -nosplash -data ... ...

You can use CCS command line or uniflash command line to load the program to flash:

1. Unilfash

2. CCS

Use loadti to load program to flash. The loadti is located in C:\ti\ccs1210\CCS\ccs_base\scripting\examples

for example:

CALL loadti -t 5000 -c LAUNCHXL2_570LC43\targetConfigs\TMS570LC43xx.ccxml LAUNCHXL2_570LC43\Debug\LAUNCHXL2_570LC43.out

Hi, QJ,

Thank you so much for sharing this info.

I've managed to use the Windows Autoit3 app to GUI-script the running of HET IDE and HALCoGen Code Generator, and along with the CCS Eclipse command facility, am now able to do a complete build system.

As it turns out, HET IDE will take the project file as a command-line argument, which comes in very handy (takes one less step in using Autoit3).
