CCS/TMS320F28035: CLA code with CCS3.3

Part Number: TMS320F28035


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

my customer used to use F28034 in their project and they are using CCS3.3.

Now they would like to use CLA so they upgrade to F28035.

The question is:

1. Is CLA code debugging supported with CCS3.3. If yes, is it true that only assembly code is supported for CLA with CCS3.3?

2. Is it true that Whether CLA support can support C code is related to compiler only? If yes, can we download some newer version compiler and still use CCS3.3 to debug CLA with C code?

    Howard, 

    There is a summary of tool versions required for various C2000 device features here: https://www.ti.com/lit/spraco1

    F2803x with CLA support was added to the last full install of CCS 3.3.   Unfortunately this document doesn't capture when C-source debug was added to CCS for the CLA.

    After doing some searching I see that the 3.3 CCS was released in ~March 2009 while the compiler with C support (6.1) was not released until April 2012.  From this information, there will likely be issues with C-source debug if the customer sticks with CCS 3.3.  They will be able to see the disassembly but linking it to the C-source may not work.  

    I understand the customer may not want to move from CCS 3.3 as migration takes some time. But after migration, using the latest will provide the best support for the customer.

    This is correct.  Refer to the previous document for the minimum compiler version required for C support of the CLA.  Note that additional features and enhancements have been added since the initial version.  Using the latest will provide the best support for the customer.
