TMS320F28P550SJ: Using CCS command line with independent folders for workspace and projects

Part Number: TMS320F28P550SJ
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software:

Hi champs,

I am asking this for our customers.

CCS 12.8.1

C2000 F28003x/P55x/P65x

The user has studied CCS commands in 

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_projects-command-line.html

However, the user does not put project folders under the workspace folder. That is, the projects are in a total different folder/drive from the workspace folder.

In this case, how does the user handle <workspace_path>?

For example, there are two projects Project A and Project B in C:\ti\A and C:\ti\B.

But the workspace is in D:\workspace

Can all the CCS command lines work? Or how should the user do?

Besides, for CCS Theia 20.3+, is it still the same as CCS 12.8.1 in this case? If not, what should the user do?

  • Hi Wayne,

    For both CCS, this depends on if your files are "linked" or "copied." If they are linked, then when you open the workspace in D:\workspace, file edits will be made to the C:\ti\A and C:\ti\B files automatically. But if it is copied, then you will need to manually update the files in your C: drive. You can also choose to open up the workspace in the C:\ti\A or B folders so that you are working directly with the files.

    For CCS 20, it is the same but you will choose the "Open Folder" button as workspaces are just folders

    Regards,

  • Hi Peter,

    In the user's case, they user use this command below to import projects.

    eclipsec -noSplash -data "D:\TiWorkSpace" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location "D:\Test\Projects\TI\CCS_280039C"

    Does this mean "linked" or "copied"?
