Hello all,

i have a project i need to load using an old 32bit laptop. CCSv9 will not run on it but uniflash will. what is the compiled file type and location for my compiled project?

and are there any specific settings in uniflash I need to concern myself with?

Thanks for reading

    Darryl,

    The output of your project will be generated in a folder that that the same name as the build configuration that was used.  Most of our example projects have Debug and Release configurations.

    So if you were to build the Debug configuration of Project A then the resulting .out file (which is coff for C28x) would be in:

    Project A

    \Debug

    Note that like CCSv9 the latest version of UniFlash will also not run on 32bit windows.  We do however keep older versions of the software available.

    As far as settings in UniFlash there are lots of settings.  For basic flashing of the device there is not much to be concerned about.

    Regards,

    John

    John,

    I installed CCS v6 on the laptop, copied the project to the laptop but it won't compile. Error says need latest compiler. So I downloaded the latest compiler, installed the exe file but v6 still errors out. Any more information is appreciated.

    Darryl,

    Projects are set to use a specific compiler.  CCS will discover compilers installed on your computer (you can define where it looks).  When building the project if CCS does not have a compatible compiler in its list then it will give you an error or warning depending on how big of a version difference it was.  That should result in CCS asking for a specific version of the compiler vs "latest".

    What version of CCS and the compiler was originally used to create the project?

    John,

    I installed ccs v9 a few weeks ago so it's relatively new.

    The ccs on my laptop is v6 and the compiler its asking for is the one the project was created on. I believe its the latest version unless a newer one released this week.

    Does this help?

    Darryl,

    The latest CCS is 9.1.0 and the compiler for C2000 that it would have included is 18.12.2 (18.12.3 is the latest).

    Both of those items are 64bit applications on Windows.  You will not be able to install or run either on 32bit Windows.

    If you need to share a project between computers that are running a mix of 32bit and 64bit windows I would recommend using CCSv8.3.1 and the 18.1.6 C2000 compiler.  You would likely be fine with CCSv9.1.0 on the 64bit machine as long as the compiler was 18.1.x on both the 32bit and 64bit machines.

    If you don't need to use the 64bit machine anymore and are just going to running off your laptop then I would install CCSv8.3.1 on your 32bit laptop and change the project properties so that it uses the 18.1.x compiler that ships with that version of CCS.

    You can change the version of the compiler used by a project here:
