CCS/F28M35H52C: Compilers Needed for this Processor

Ted Mawson 3.0
Expert 1795 points
Part Number: F28M35H52C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, C2000WARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am trying to get going with this processor by loading and following example programs in controlSuite and running them on a TMS320F28M35xx Concerto controlCARD.  Whenever I try to import an example controlSuite project into CCS, it fails with error details that say that I need the ARM15.2 compiler.  I researched adding compilers to CCS but, when I click on the CCS App Center under Help, I get an 'Ooops, we cannot contact the CCS App Center server - maybe it's just down right now?

Anyway, clearly I need a compiler for the M3 and the C28 sub-processors.  Are these available from TI for free or do I need to ask my client buy a license for me?  How can I see what compilers I have installed in CCS?

Thanks,

Ted

    Hi Ted,

    In order to check the current compilers installed in CCS navigate to: Help -> Installation Details. Under the Installed Software tab, there should be a list of all the features and tools currently installed in CCS. You should see the current version of the ARM Compiler Tools.

    If the version is less than v15.2, go ahead select the feature and click on Update at the bottom of the window.

    If it does not appear, you can navigate to: Help -> Check for Updates. This will populate the latest tools and features available for install. The latest ARM compiler should be listed there.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Regards,

    Ozino

    Ozino,

    Thanks for the assistance.  Under Help > Installation Details I see ARM Compiler Tools at version 5.2.9, when I highlight that line and click on [Update], I get an information pop up saying 'No updates were found'.

    When I navigate to Help > Check for Updates, I see a red X under Available Updates saying 'The operation cannot be completed. See the details' and a pop up saying 'Problem Occurred, 'Searching alternate solutions...' has encountered a problem.  No remedy found.  There is one available update offered, MSP430 Emulators and Device Support Files.

    I thought this may be a permissions issue with CCS so I tried running CCS as Admin but the results were all the same.  This is a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit PC with a 150 MBps Internet connection.

    CCS is Version 6.1.2.00015

    Any ideas?

    Ted

    Ted,

    Try navigate to Help -> Install New Software. Then in the "work with:" section enter the following:

    Code Generation Tools Updates - http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2win32

    In the list that populates, select the drop down arrow on "TI Compiler Updates". There should be a listing all the versions of the ARM compiler tools available on the server for download. Select the desired verison (or latest version) of the compiler tools that is needed for the project and install it. Hopefully this should work.

    If not, I would install CCS v6.2.0 and see if you're able to update the compiler tools that way.

    Regards,

    Ozino

    I gave up with CCS 6.x and installed 7, it (eventually) installed OK. I also downloaded C2000Ware although that seems to have no code examples in it. Anyway, after installing and updating to CCS 7.1.0.00016 , I was able to import and compile 2 of the examples from C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\f28m35x\v210
    My installation now reports Arm Compiler Tools 16.9.1.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Ted,

    Glad that the update to your CCS resolved the compiler tools issue. Yes, at this time the f28m35x examples still reside in controlSUITE. All other device examples are available in C2000Ware.

    Thanks,
