CCSTUDIO: CCS: Command Line output Disassembly View

Something like here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/code-composer-studio-group/ccs/f/code-composer-studio-forum/492913/how-to-i-disassemble-the-ccs6-1-2-generated-out-file but with command line.

Dear Andreas,

not clear to me what you are looking for... Do you need a graphical view of the disassembly or files with the listing? In second case any options generated using CCS GUI can be transferred to make file options I assume. Also this should be documented in any compiler/assembler tools manuals.

Regards, Frank

I need the content from the graphical view as file. Therefore i need the command to create this assembly listing in a headless environment. I have no GUI. Everything is done on a command line.

so this is then just to use the right options during the build process to keep the assembly files. Not related to CCS GUI at all. Or you use a disassembler tool as mentioned in the linked thread. The build tool chain is a set of command line tools anyway. CCS is just the umbrella to use with GUI.

thanks for your comments. How is the belonging command, or where i can find it?

I assume this depends on the target and the build tools you are using. Don't see this mentioned above. As CCS supports multiple platforms I do have a whole list of compilers installed in my installation. One example:

c:\ti\ccstheia140\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-armllvm_4.0.0.LTS\

This has a README that leads to online docs such as:

Clang command line argument reference — Clang 20.0.0git documentation

If you have a different target follow similar links or let us know.

We use the TI Compiler:

Configuration: Release
Compiler:
specified version: TI v21.6.1.LTS
effective version: TI v21.6.1.LTS [/opt/ti/ccs/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-msp430_21.6.1.LTS]

Do you have the Command Reference or the command to generate the Disassembly for the TI Compiler?

of course...

https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/SLAU132Y  Compiler Guide

MSP430 Assembly Language Tools v21.6.0.LTS User's Guide (Rev. Y) 

I would start with chapter 4.11 in second guide. --asm_listing option should be a good start.

Regards, Frank

Thanks for the manual. Is there a way to add "--asm_listing" to the command:

"- eclipse -data /tmp/ccswork -noSplash -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.configuration Release -ccs.listProblems -ccs.buildType full -ccs.projects ${CI_PROJECT_NAME}"

Thanks.

I don't know that. I would just change the base info (project or make files) that CCS is using here. A CCS expert should know what files that are. Or you look at the build log to figure this out.

Would you kindly ask an CCS expert on TI site. Thanks.

One additional hint, we have many projects, and switching on in CCS project config for every single project would be a mess. We adjusting at the moment an streamlined build process.

The project modifcation is possible via the application "com.ti.ccstudio.apps.modifyProject" possible:

-----------------------

Usage:
eclipse -noSplash -data "<workspace_dir>"
-application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.modifyProject
-ccs.project <name> [<options>]

where options include:
-ccs.project <name>
The project to modify.

-ccs.configuration <name>
The build-configuration to modify (optional).
Defaults to all build-configurations.

-ccs.device <id>
The new device-variant ID.
A list of all available device-variant IDs will be printed if this argument is not recognized.

-ccs.endianness <name>
The new device endianness (optional).
A list of all applicable endianness types will be printed if this argument is not recognized.

-ccs.toolChain (TI | TICLANG | GNU)
The new compiler tool-chain (optional).

-ccs.toolVersion <version>
The new compiler version (optional).

-ccs.outputFormat (COFF | ELF)
The new output-format (optional).

-ccs.products "[<id>[:<version>];]+"
The new list of products to enable (optional).

-ccs.cmd "<file>"
The new linker command file to be physically copied into the project (optional).

-ccs.rts "<file>"
The new runtime support library (optional).

-ccs.setCompilerOptions "<options>" [@prepend] [@files ["<path>" ]+] [@folders ["<path>" ]+] [@configurations [<name> ]+]
Space-separated list of build-options to set on the project's compiler tool (optional)
(use backslash '\' to escape all double-quotes in <options>).
Optionally, force the value for any list-type options to be prepended to current value.
Optionally, specify lists of files/folders (project-relative paths) to set these options on.
Optionally, specify a list of build-configurations in which these options are to be set.

-ccs.setLinkerOptions "<options>" [@prepend] [@configurations [<name> ]+]
Similar to -ccs.setCompilerOptions

-ccs.setHexOptions "<options>" [@prepend] [@configurations [<name> ]+]
Similar to -ccs.setCompilerOptions.

-ccs.setObjcopyOptions "<options>" [@prepend] [@configurations [<name> ]+]
Similar to -ccs.setCompilerOptions.

-ccs.setSysConfigOptions "<options>" [@prepend] [@configurations [<name> ]+]
Similar to -ccs.setCompilerOptions.

-ccs.args <file>
File containing any extra arguments (optional).

-ccs.help
Print this help message.

The related config is in the file ".cproject":

<option id="com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.MSP430_21.6.compilerID.ASM_LISTING.1416214092" name="Generate listing file (--asm_listing, -al)" superClass="com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.MSP430_21.6.compilerID.ASM_LISTING" value="false" valueType="boolean"/>
<option id="com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.MSP430_21.6.compilerID.ASM_LISTING.1416214092" name="Generate listing file (--asm_listing, -al)" superClass="com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.MSP430_21.6.compilerID.ASM_LISTING" value="true" valueType="boolean"/>

If i like to adjust the project i encounter the following error:
