EK-TM4C123GXL: Troubles downloading TIVA SDK and setting up in CCS Ide

Part Number: EK-TM4C123GXL

Hi, 

I am trying to set up my microcontroller launchpad EK-TM4C123GXL on Code Composer Studio and get started on projects by importing examples from the SDK and ressource explorer, I have downloaded the entire SDK and I believe to have followed the steps correctly for everything.

However CCS seems to still not find the SDK and I cannot import project examples. 

As you can see, I keep on downloading the TIVA SDK as requested but I never get the green tick saying downloaded next to TIVA software in the ressource explorer here:

Install_sucess

I even checked the parameters and tried to add the path in the preferences >> CCS >>Product >> discovery path

We can see in my personal directory there are different versions of tivaware C series, but none is found and displayed in "Discovered Products" 

This means that even if the software is downloaded I cannot import example codes or get started... I get the message "The project you have selected is in the cloud. Before you import it, you must download and install the associated SDK. Would you like to install now?" which I have done already...

I am stuck and would appreciate some guidance on what the problem could be here and how I could solve it,

Thank you!

Best, 

  • Hi,

      You are trying to download tivaWare SDK from CCS Resource Explorer. which is linked to an older version of the SDK. I also don't know where the errors you are facing. Most people download the TivaWare SDK from https://www.ti.com/tool/SW-TM4C.  This is what I will suggest you do:

      1. Download the latest TivaWare from https://www.ti.com/tool/SW-TM4C. The latest version is 2.2.0.295. 

      2. Install the SDK. 

      3. Create a new CCS workspace

      3. You can import all the examples at once into your newly created workspace from C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\boards\ek-tm4c123gxl

      To import examples, see below and follow instructions.
