TMS320F28386D: Compiler version

Part Number: TMS320F28386D

Hello,

I had a question from my teammates of the SW development regarding the compiler version for this processor.

We were initially targeting the 21.6.0.LTS which comes with CCS V11 instead of the 18.2.4LTS that were previously using with the TMS30F28377D.

However, it came to their attention that the latest version does not support MISRA rules checking anymore.

So I have two questions:

  • I don't think using the older version is an issue from what I saw from the changelogs except for support as this is an old version so it could become unsupported but I would prefer to have a confirmation from your side ?
  • Why was support for Misra rules checking dropped ? Any plan on getting it back ?

Regards,

Clément

    That understanding is accurate.

    Why was support for Misra rules checking dropped ?

    We supported an older version of the MISRA rules, MISRA C:2004.  The latest version is MISRA C:2012.  Further, more changes are expected.  The MISRA and AUTOSAR guidelines are being combined.  So, we are far behind.  It is clear that catching up would be a large effort.  Another factor is that there are several static code analysis tools available today.  It is unlikely that anything we produce would be as good.

    Any plan on getting it back ?

    At this time, no.

    Thanks and regards,
