Tool/software:

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to intall ARM CGT 5.2.x on macos sequoia. But it doesn't seem to install.

This is needed since I am using CCS20.0 Thei IDE to import and compile EK-TM4C1294-XL example project. which seems to be using CGT 5.2.

Appreciate if anyone can help here. ?

Thanks

To the compiler experts - the issue that the Arm CGT 5.2.9 compiler installer downloaded from https://www.ti.com/tool/download/ARM-CGT/5.2.9 is not running on macOS Sequoia:

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.

I can reproduce the issue on Sequoia

It is some sort of verification error. The Arm CGT 20.2.7 installer does not have this issue.

Even if you allow this app to install, by settings --> security--> allow app , this doesn't do anything.

Version 5.2.9 was released in February 2017. It was never tested with macOS Sequoia. It is no longer supported. Therefore, I have to unfortunately conclude that this combination ...

... is not supported.

Thanks and regards,

so there is no way to port these TM4C1294 projects to latest CGT 20 ?

I am not a device expert so I can't comment on what version of the compiler is recommend. But I have been able to build TivaWare examples using newer 20.2.7 compiler on my macbook M1 running Sequoia.

https://www.ti.com/tool/download/ARM-CGT/20.2.7.LTS

After install, make sure it is discovered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jkpPGcbxxA&list=PL3NIKJ0FKtw75d_K8G0JBJHB9zIm8_YQL&t=5s

Hi Ki, did you make any changes to includes etc. since I am getting following, even though I can confirm directories and files exist at the location compiler is complaining about.

No, just used as-is with the compiler change. Here is the timers example:
