TMS320C6727: Future Compiler Support

Part Number: TMS320C6727

Hello team,

My customer uses the C6727 series DSP processors for several of products that also support third-party algorithm development. Given the fact that the compiler tools for this processor have not been updated in quite some time, customer and developers are concerned regarding the future support for these tools.

Here are some specific questions, but any information that you can give regarding future support, development, or end-of-support schedule for the C6727 compiler tools would be very helpful.

  1. Are there any plans to make it possible to use a Code Composer Studio version later than v7 when targeting C6727?
  2. Are there any plans to make it possible to compile for C6727 on a Mac?
  3. If not, will the required older version of Code Composer Studio as well as the necessary CGTools for this chip continue to be made available via the TI site and will they be supported for the foreseeable future?
  4. Are CCSv7 and the necessary CGTools for this chip qualified for use with Windows 11?
  5. Are there any plans to provide CGTools with language support for C++11 or later features for this chip?

Thanks!

    Hello,

    Current versions of CCS (11.x) on Windows support C6727.

    CCS for MacOS does not support C6727 and there are no plans to do so in the future.

    However, you can download the standalone C6000 compilers for Mac. The latest version of the compiler to support C6727 is v7.4.24

    https://www.ti.com/tool/download/C6000-CGT/7.4.24

    Hence you can use the compiler directly on Mac. You will not have CCS project support however.

    No version of CCS supports C6727 on Mac.

    Current versions of CCS support C6727 on Windows. 

    The last version of the C6000 compiler to officially support C6727 is v7.4.24. Later version of the compiler does not support C6727.

    Older releases of CCS and compiler will be available for download. While current versions of CCS on Windows support C6727, note that the device is deprecated in support and may not be supported in future CCS versions (though there are no concrete plans to drop it as of now)

    Only CCSv11.x is officially supported with Windows 11. However, it is likely that older CCS versions will work on Windows 11. But this has not been confirmed or tested (and there is no official support)

    C6000 compiler version 8.x supports C++14. However, C6727 is not supported by that version of the compiler. Older versions of the C6000 compiler only supports C++98. This would include v7.4.24.

    Thanks
