CCS/RM48L530: Import HALOCGEN into Code Composer

Part Number: RM48L530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear sir / madam,

hopefully a quick one.

How do I import a HALOCGEN project into CODE COMPOSER STUDIO.

Many thanks

Brendan

  • I could be wrong.

    Use HalCoGen to create desired features on desired target.
    menu: [File][Save project].
    menu: [File][Generate Code].
    Use CCS.
    Create project.
    menu: [File][New][CCS Project].
    Create a copy of the file created for HalCoGen, and move them to the CCS project directory that was just created (project folders are usually CCS version specific.).
    In CCS, a right click menu option allows import.
    Setup your compiler for the new project, as a project setting.

    I have had a stable project for a while, so I could be off somewhere.
  • Thanks I will give it a try.
    I hoped it might be as simple as import.
  • Once you create the new project in CCS, import might be enough for getting prepared HalCoGen files over. HalCoGen does not know which build IDE you are using or which compiler, so those settings need to be prepared in CCS

  • Brendan,

    Sorry for the delayed response, but you can also reference the 1-day training materials in the Hercules wiki pages. These trainings have a couple of labs included were you are walked through creation of a project in HalCoGen, code generation, then import into CCS. Note that the slides a bit dated so the CCS version is a bit old but it is still the Eclipse based tool and the steps are still the same even if some of the interfaces have been changed a bit.

    The RMxx wiki page is located here: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Category:RM4
  • Neil,

    There is some aware ness within Halcogen about the compiler that is to be used. If you notice in the project setup when starting a new project, the bottom field is used to select between TI compiler, IAR, GHS, ARM, etc. This is because the different compilers handle some directives such as pragmas differently and require special handling in the code generation.
