Code Composer Studio was not detected, cannot open any examples for the RM48L950 HDK

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: RM48L950, HALCOGEN

Good afternoon,

I purchased the RM48L950 HDK full kit (not usb stick) and I followed all of the installation instructions. I installed the standard package, which seemed to install a lot of unnecessary programs. After computer restart, when I open the Hercules Safety MCU Demos, I can run the Led light show, and some others I haven't tested yet. However, when I click on Code Composer Studio which is supposed to take me to the source code for the examples (according to demo video, I get prompted with Code Composer Studio was not detected, when I clearly have it installed.

I attempted looking for examples, but I only found the source files.

  1. I just want to open a project file and be able to build and flash it to the MCU. How do I do this, where can I find t he project files for Hercules MCU, (the source files are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\Hercules\Hercules Safety MCU Demos)?
  2. Should I upgrade to CCS v5, will all examples work with this?
  3. The installation I got from the CD is really bloated with unnecessary installations, I just need to be able to use a specific emulator (lets say the onboard XDS100v2) and open and compile code to flash it to the MCU using CCS. If I was to download everything from TI website, what packages do I need to download?.
  4. I tried creating a new project and adding one of the source files (led_demo.c), I added necessary .h files, but the project won't compile with error:

    errors encountered during linking; "test.out" not built. The source file is missing a main function. can someone help direct me to how to properly assemble an RM48x project?

    5. Lastly, can someone help explain what I need to do to program/debug the MCU from CSS? I could not find any instructions on this 

Thank you,

    Hello Dmitry,

    Thanks for posting.

    1. You can open the Demo project from CCS under project menu -> Import existing CCS project. Assuming that the installation was in the default directory, set the search location to: C:\ti\Hercules\Hercules Safety MCU Demos\RM48x_target_sources\build.
    You can build this project and flash it using 'run->load' under CCS debug view.

    2. It is highly recommended that you update to CCSv5 and latest version of the HalcoGen (code creation tool) and the demo software.

    3. At the minimum you need the CCS and the Hercules Demo software. That can be found at this link: http://www.ti.com/mcu/docs/mcuprodtoolsw.tsp?sectionId=95&tabId=2836&familyId=1931&toolTypeId=1

    I hope this can get you started. Please let us know the progress.

    Best regards,
