What CCS version works for BeagleBone

Hi,

I am sorry to hear you are having such problems. One thing it is not clear to me is exactly when the BSODs happen: do they happen when CCSv5.5 is open, a debug session is running or something else? Check the threads below where the issue is discussed and several possible root causes are shown.

My question is what is the whole tool set "CSS + Compiler" known working for BeagleBone AM335x ?

AM335x devices and their development boards (including BeagleBone) have been successfully used since early releases of CCSv5 (5.1, 5.2) and, despite some bugs here and there, I could not find a single case of severe instability as you are experiencing. Therefore the release you are using is absolutely fine to work with Beaglebone.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Hello,

 I could work fine with old CCS-5.1 on old Windows XP

I'm NOT able to run it on Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate as it failed to compile and generate run-time library

But Windows XP has no such problem.

So I have to copy the library from 32-bit WP to 32-bit Win7 in order to run it

You have any idea ?

Can you send the error message that is displayed?

One common error is shown in the thread below:

Hi,

Thanks for sending the error. Did you read the reference I sent before? It points to an article that has solved this very same issue for other developers (another example is here).

Regards,

Rafael

Hi,

The first article suggests to add compiler path, it doesn't make sense to me as I'm able to compile other files, even library.

I tried it anyway and as expected, it FAILS with exactly the same error.

The second article does make sense as it points out the conflict between Cygwin and the tool

I remove Cygwin path in the CSS properties and it does NOT help.

It works ONLY after I rename Cygwin.

All IDE tools I used so far seems NOT rely on system environment as they are big enough to set up their own environment

That's why it works on my XP , but NOT on Win 7, even both have Cygwin installed

Thanks,
