Assembling a program with CCS5.2.0

Can anyone here point me to a step-by-step guide for creating, assembling and linking an assembly language program using Code Composer Studio 5.2.0?  All of the examples that come with the download of this version of CCS are "C", and I haven't been able to figure out how to do a simple assembly.

Thanks

Curt

  • Never mind:  I think I cracked it. 

  • In case anyone new to Code Composer Studio assembly like me, here is a step-by-step procedure.

    Click Project>NewCCSProject

    Enter a project name on the form shown.

    Select Family, variant and device on the form

    Set "Connection" to USB1

    Click the small "Advanced settings" token on the form.   This will open a new form

    Change "Output format" to "COFF"

    Click the small "Advanced settings" token again to hide the form.

    Click Project templates and examples.

    Click Empty assembly-only Project

    Click Finish

    A new project with the name you provided should appear in the Project Explorer.   Now you can add your source file to the project with a .asm extension as follows:

    Right-click the project name in the Project explorer window.

    Click Add Files... in the drop-down menu.  On my CCS installation, this causes a list of available example .asm files to be displayed, so you can simply pick one.  Alternatively, you can click "New" and add a blank file to accept your own code.

    Hope this is accurate (written in haste) -- and that it will save a few other people some frustration.
