[FAQ] AM2612: Device 'Cortex R.AM261x' is not currently recognized: CCS is not detecting AM261x

Hi,

The CCS version 12.8.1 or 12.8.0 or earlier do not have in-built support for AM261x device. This needs to be added by following one of the below methods:

1. Update Sitara MCU device support internally

   1.1. Download and install CCS 12.8.1 fresh(uninstall previous one)

   1.2. Click "Help" → Check for Updates
   
   1.3.Then after sometime you will see following pop up:
   

   1.4. Select Sitara MCU device support to get support for AM261x. Unselect other updates.

   
   

   1.5. Select agreement and click finish.

   1.6. Then after installation is complete , restart CCS
   
   
   

2. If the SDK product was not correctly recognized in CCS, preventing the SDK project from being imported, go to the CCS menu -> `windows -> code composer studio -> products`, and refresh the products to solve the issue.

Shaunak
