RTOS/TM4C1294KCPDT: TI-RTOS software/tools Dependencies

Part Number: TM4C1294KCPDT

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

With regards to TI-RTOS, the release notes below mentions the the dependencies on software and tools..
software-dl.ti.com/.../release_notes_tirtos_tivac_2_16_01_14.html

Do we need to use the same CCS/IAR and Compiler versions mentioned in the release notes?

We get application error when we build the TI-RTOS TivaC(2.16.01.14) examples on EWARM's latest version(v8.1),
whereas it works well with the older version v7.50(mentioned in release notes)

In case of CCS, is it recommended to use older CCS/Compiler versions(mentioned in the release notes)
instead of using the latest CCS(v7.x)??
Is it safe to use the latest CCS and comipler to develop TI-RTOS TI-RTOS TivaC 2.16.01.14 which was released last year?

Best Regards

  • Hi,

    The safe answer is to stay with the versions that are published in the release notes.

    I know IAR had a change that required changes in the kernel for the 8.x releases.

    In regards to CCS, if you use the same compiler and XDCtools (e.g. don't move to 3.50.xx!!), you should be able to move to a CCS 7.x release. You may not be able to get some of the new features in the 7.x release (e.g. new ROV), but the things that were working in 6.x should work the same in 7.x.

  • Hello Todd,

    Thank you,

    Does TI has plans to update the TI-RTOS and the TivaWare?
    Its been a year since the latest update and as you know there are issues with the IAR's latest version.
    Which imply that we cannot use IAR to develop Tiva based applications in future?

    We can think about an alternative solution like MSP432E4xx but,
    MSP432E4xx series don't have much device options other than Higher end devices.

  • Hi Paddu,

    We have no immediate plans to release a new TI-RTOS for Tiva. I'm not sure about TivaWare.

    We are actively adding new functionality into the SimpleLink MSP432E4 SDK and plan a new release approximately every quarter.
