RTOS/TM4C1294NCPDT: udma uart demo code from version 5.2 to version 6.2

Part Number: TM4C1294NCPDT
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C1294XL

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

I am using CCS version 6.1 and window 10. I want to work on the Demo uart code provided by the TI in Example library files.

When I add the project file to CCS, its asking for CCS version 5.2. Even if I download version 5.2 its not usable in window 10 environment.

Question:

1.Is there any possibility to port the udma uart code to CCS version 6.1?

2.I cannot download the CCS version 5.2 by help->Install new software, Since the access is denied and restricted in my PC,

Can you provide any possible way to build the udma code?

Regards,

Manohar

  • Hello Manohar,

    I am not sure which of the many examples you are referring to. Can you provide details on specifically which project you are trying to load into CCS? Best thing would be to provide the folder path from inside TivaWare for the project that is giving you this trouble.

    And you shouldn't need CCS V5.2, we'll get it going with CCS V6.1.
  • Hi Ralph,

    The below is the project path I am trying to load in CCS 6.1,
    C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.4.178\examples\boards\ek-tm4c1294xl\udma_demo

    If I load the project, I am getting below error,
    /*
    This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed: 5.2.6 [ARM]. Another version of the compiler will be used during build: 15.12.3.LTS. See 'Help > Check for Updates' or visit <a href="liveaction:OpenAppCenter">CCS App Center</a> to get the latest compilers. See 'Help > Install New Software...' to install older compilers. Alternatively, migrate the project to one of the available compiler versions by adjusting project properties. */

    I cannot update by 'Help > Install New Software...' because its restricted in my PC to download, Do you have any alternate way to work on the code?

  • This is just an informational warning. Most demos will compile correctly using newer versions of the C compiler. I have recompiled that demo under versions 17.6.0, 16.9.4 and 16.9.2, all with no problems. If you want to get rid of that warning, right click on the project name and then select "Show Build Settings...". Then select a compiler version that you have installed from the drop down highlighted below:
