MSP432E401Y: MSP432E401Y Clarification on the Revision of XDCTools to be used.

Part Number: MSP432E401Y


Tool/software:

Hello

We have been developing a couple of applications, the applications have embedded CRC in them for build and target load verifications.

We found one designer was using revision 3.62.1.15 of the XDCTools and the other revision 3.61.01.25.

These different revisions when used to no surprise result in an application with two different CRCs.

I have version 3.61.01.25 which is bundled with the simplelink_msp432e4_sdk_4_20_00_12 installer.

And version 3.62.1.15 which is bundled with CCS version 10.4.0.00006.

Would it be possible to clarify what revision of this toolset should be used and why?

Thanks In Advance

Perry

  • Hi Perry,

    Would it be possible to clarify what revision of this toolset should be used and why?

    In the simplelink_msp432e4_sdk_4_20_00_12 release note, XDCTools 3.61.01.25 is the version used for validation at the time. Although a different XDC version like 3.62.1.15 will work but the CRC could be different as you have confirmed. XDCtools is a product that contains tools necessary to create, test, deploy, install, and use RTSC components. I'm not surprised, a different version can create a subtle difference in its generated code that is more than enough to result with different CRC. I will suggest you stay with the same XDCtools version that comes with the the simplelink_msp432e4_sdk_4_20_00_12 SDK and making sure that the same compiler and optimization are the same between yours and your colleagues.
