TMS320F28335: eclipsec command line for import, clean, build, and debug?

Neal OHara

Part Number: TMS320F28335
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hello,

I've been trying to follow the instructions on https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_projects-command-line.html#import-an-existing-ccs-project

Some of the commands seem to be out of date? Such as projectBuild vs buildProject, etcetera.

When I try any of the commands I've worked on, I keep getting the "Usage help" output, and I have not been able to figure out the correct commands.

(I am using powershell shell to debug CCS8 commands, with the eventuall hope of writing a poweshell script)

Can you please help me correct the following? None are working as written.

Import Project

&C:\ti\ccsv8\eclipse\eclipsec --noSplash -data "C:\Users\Neal_OHara\workspace_v8_auto\" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.importProject -ccs.location C:\svn\coreassets\software\bsp\mcu_drivers\branches\45920_drv_i2c_cleanup\ccs\TMS320F28335

Clean Project

&C:\ti\ccsv8\eclipse\eclipsec --noSplash -data "C:\Users\Neal_OHara\workspace_v8_auto\" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.buildProject -ccs.projects "TMS320F28335_McuDriversUnitTest" -ccs.clean

Build Project
C:\ti\ccsv8\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "C:\Users\Neal_OHara\workspace_v8_auto\" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.workspace -ccs.buildType full -ccs.configuration "TMS320F28335_McuDriversUnitTest"

Debug Project

Are there any commands for programming/loading the software to a target from a script? Are there any triggers we can set to indicate a once and done program is finished? This may be a separate ticket.

Hello,

Please see the below article regarding running the headless project commands via powershell:

Thanks

Hello, I have in fact being reading PowerShell: Running Executables - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki (microsoft.com)

I tried both the Invoke-Command, and the Call (&) options, and it seems like the Call option works more?
Thus, I was debugging the actual command there. See

When I tried the command prompt, it complains about the command in a different way, not parsing the stuff after the exe at all:

So, there seems to be something I am missing about using the command at all.

Any advise?

Also, is there a more up to date resource than the webpage for these eclipsec commands?

Like I mentioned, several seem outdated like projectImport vs importProject and projectBuild vs buildProject.

Thank you.

You are missing the "-ArgumentList" between the eclipsec command and -noSplash.

See the example I mentioned in the other thread:

Start-Process -FilePath C:\ti\ccsv7\eclipse\eclipsec.exe -ArgumentList "-noSplash -data C:\path\to\workspace -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.projects Project1"

Unfortunately, that caused different and worse errors than the & method:

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\ti\ccsv8\eclipse\eclipsec" -ArgumentList --noSplash -data "C:\Users\Neal_OHara\workspace_v8_auto\" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.importProject -ccs.location "C:\svn\coreassets\software\bsp\mcu_drivers\branches\45920_drv_i2c_cleanup\ccs\TMS320F28335\"

Start-Process : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'data'.

Try this:

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\ti\ccsv8\eclipse\eclipsec" -ArgumentList "-noSplash -data C:\Users\Neal_OHara\workspace_v8_auto\ -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.importProject -ccs.location C:\svn\coreassets\software\bsp\mcu_drivers\branches\45920_drv_i2c_cleanup\ccs\TMS320F28335"

Thank you, that worked for importing!

Do you know what's up with the commands changing from projectBuild to buildProject?

The reason for renaming some of the commands is for consistency. The goal was to have project<action> for all the commands. Older versions would have some commands like <action>project and others project<action> which was a nuisance to some.

In any case, backwards compatibility should be preserved so you can use either command format.
