I am currently using the Concerto chip in your eval kit. The board is the F28M35xx ISO Control Card. The kit I purchased is the TMDSPLCKIT-V3, but the F28M35xx was shipped separately for the G3 evaluation.
I have a purchased server license for a single user for the CCS tool. I am running CCSv4 on WinXP for most of my evaluation. I have been instructed both not to use V5 as well as to use V5 for the Concerto. I am trying to get up to speed with V5 on a separate Win7 and having some problems with tool compatibility. Here are the tools currently in use:
For the CCSv4.2.5 system on the CM3 side, I am running the TMS470 Code Generation Tool v4.9.2 effective v4.9.5 compiler, Runtime Support Library (RTSL) is rtsv7M3_T_le_eabi.lib. I am running FreeRTOS v4.7.2. On the C28 side, I am running C2000 Code Generation Tool v6.1.0.A11101. No RTSL or Linker Command file is specified (is this right? – it’s the way the package was delivered).
For the CCSv5.1 system on the CM3 side, I am running Code Generation Tool v4.9.3 effective 4.9.5, RTSL is the same, still running the FreeRTOS but could convert to TI’s SYS/BIOS as it is available on the system. On the C28 side, I am running Code Generation Tool v6.0.3. RTSL is “(auto)”. However, the PHY example software will not run on this system.
If you notice, the CCSv5 C28 compiler appears to be older than the CCSv4 C28 compiler. The C28 PHY example will not run on the V5 system, which is probably why I was originally told not to go to V5. I tried to run V4 on Win7 using a virtual machine (V5 not recommended for WinXP) but it was slower than my XP machine.
Am I running the right versions of tools to properly evaluate the G3 PLC functionality on the CCSv4 as well as the CCSv5 system??
Thanks,
Pat
