EK-TM4C1294XL: CCS20 not able to create any TM4C1294 Project.

Hi,

Even after installing the SDKs multiple times , it always prompts for above message and never creates any project.

Where did you download from and install the TivaWare SDK? By default the latest TivaWare SDK will be installed in C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295.

Once you install the SDK, you can import all the CCS example projects into your CCS workspace. Please see below. 

Specify the path to the example you want import in the next screen. You can find all EK-TM4C1294XL examples in C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\boards\ek-tm4c1294xl. CCS will detect all the examples. You can select all of them or any one. 

If you are referring to TI-RTOS examples for TivaWare then please follow the below instructions. 

You can import TI-RTOS examples for Tiva from CCS Resource Explorer. 

  1. open Resource Explorer. See below. 

  2. On the upper right with the three bars, click it and select Package Manager

  3. You should see a list of packages. Look for TI-RTOS for TivaC and then click on the right arrow See below. 

  4. Click the box and click the 'Apply'.

  5. Once you do that you should find all TI-RTOS examples that you can import to your CCS workspace. See below.  

MY IDE seems quite different.

Do you have the same problem on a Windows machine? It seems you are using a Mac machine. I will forward your question to our CCS experts. 

Ok so I was able to import example project by specifying the full path of examples directory EK-TM4C1294-XL . But when I try to build getting this error. AS I mentioned earlier, I installed SDK n number of times and its there for sure.

[0]**** Clean-only build of configuration Debug for project hello ****
[1]/Applications/ti/ccstudio/ccs/utils/bin/gmake -k clean

[2]**** Build Finished ****
[3]Buildfile generation error occurred..
[4]This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed - 5.2.6 [Arm].
[5]Build stopped..

unfortunately this version of ARM CGT failed to install on mac os Squoia . Enabled in security settings to allow this file to be installed, but it doesn't even open dialog for installer.

This version of the compiler is quite old so it could be some known limitation. Please create a new thread for this particular issue and i can get it rerouted to the compiler team for further suggestions.

Thanks Ki, I just opened another issue here   e2e.ti.com/.../sw-ek-tm4c1294xl-arm-cgt-5-2-x-doesn-t-work-on-macos

How do create a new project from scratch without importing an example? Have tried a lot.

This is discouraged in CCS Theia/20 as the recommended path is to always start with an SDK examples. If you wish to have the ability to create new projects from scratch, I recommend using CCS 12.8.1. This version, right now, is likely the best option for Tiva users since there are some other outstanding issues with CCS 20 and the experience with Tiva will not be optimal until they are fixed in the next update early next year.
