C5535/C5545 eZdsp USB Stick Development Kit in Windows 10

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hello,

 1) I understand CCStudio IDE Rev. 4.0 is comming with C5535/C5545 eZdsp USB Stick Development Ki but CCStudio IDE Rev. 4.0 is just supported on Windows 7 so What I need to do if I want to work with C5535/C5545 eZdsp USB Stick Development Kit in Windows 10 ?

2) Can I install CCStudio IDE Rev. 4.0 is comming with C5535/C5545 eZdsp USB Stick Development Kit in Windows 10 then upgrade to CCStudio IDE Rev. 6.1.3 which is supported in Windows 10 ? if I can do it, will I need to pay a new license to use CCStudio IDE Rev. 6.1.3 ? how can I upgrade from CCStudio IDE Rev. 4.0 to CCStudio IDE Rev. 6.1.3 ? 

  • Hi Agustin,

    As far as I know, you can use CCS for free and without limits as long as you are using the onboard emulator on the C5535 eZdsp.

    If you already have a CCSv4 license, and want to upgrade to CCSv6, read this FAQ:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../FAQ_-_CCSv4

    I also believe you can download the latest version of CCSv6 and it will be free to use with the onboard emulator on the C5535 eZdsp:
    www.ti.com/.../ccstudio
    "Use CCS for free - By default when you install Code Composer Studio a free license will be enabled that supports working with development boards with an onboard debug interface, XDS1xx class debug probes, MSP430 with 16KB code size limit when using the TI compiler and 32KB code size limit with MSP432 and no limit when using GCC. A 90-day evaluation license is also available."

    If all that fails, you should be able to extend the 30 day license to a 90 day license to buy some time:
    www.ti.com/.../productactivation.tsp

    If you are still unsure, we can move this thread to the CCS E2E forum for their experts to help.

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi Mark,

    Thanks for your information, it is of great help, just I have this doubt as because I'm thinking to buy the C5535 eZdsp, would I get any issue the firs time of download CCSv4 with C5535 eZdsp into Windows 10 ? it is because I understand after that is when I can upgrade to CCSv6.

    Regards

    Agustin
  • Another question is if can I buy the C5535 eZdsp and will be shiped to Mexico City?

    Thanks

  • Hi Agustin,

    I checked on my computer at home that has Windows 10 64-bit, and CCS 6.1.2 installed with a Free License.

    The license file used is this one: C:\Users\Name\ti\.license\6\TI_CCS_Free_License.lic

    I have not had any issue using it with the C5535 eZdsp.

    I am sure the TI eStore will have no problem shipping to Mexico City.

    If you have any problem with it, we can get the CCS team on the E2E to help you out.

    Regards,
    Mark
