Real Time Anaysis and Instrumentation support for C5000 on CCS 6?

Shawn Steenhagen

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

As indicated in this post:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/377811.aspx

CCS v6 is not the best IDE for developing DSP-BIOS based apps on the C5000.

Is there a tools roadmap for the C5000 family that involves supporting real time analysis and instrumentation within the CCS v6 environment?

Some clients are concerned that if they pick the C5000 for their design, they will be stuck on an unsupported/dead end IDE.

thanks

    Hi Shawn

    I think Ki-Soo covered all the facts around C55x support on CCSv5 vs v6 etc well in thread you pointed out.

    Agree on this. Basic CSL examples etc that we put out work w/o issue on CCSv6 even though the CSL bundle is validated on CCSv5.5, however the DSP-BIOS constrains and use will make CCSv5.5 more ideal for development.

    Unfortunately no, no plans to upgrade C5000 family to SYSBIOS or TI RTOS. DSP/BIOS uses RTDX for RTA which is no longer supported (so no RTA in CCSv6). I think RTA is questionable in context of CCSv5.5 , given RTDX instabilities.

    CCSv5.5 is supported , we have several customers in production using older CCSv3.3 too. Do agree that upgrades, enhancements in IDE will only be ccsv6 or higher.

    Thanks for the info.

    We (as well as the customer) are also using CCS 3.3 for a few projects, but it requires maintaining an old isolated XP machine.  This is a higher risk situation (if that XP machine dies, then what?) that they'd like to avoid in the future, but it sounds like a similar fate lies ahead for CCS 5.5.  Host machine OS's will move forward (Win 8 +) but CCS 5.5 will not, is that the case?
