CCS/TMS320C5515: Settings for TMS320C5515 dev board in CCSv7

Part Number: TMS320C5515
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am trying to learn about the internal workings of DSPs, so I just purchased a development board from TI.

It's the TMS320C5515 ezDSP USB Stick and I downloaded the latest Code Composer Studio (Version 7.1.0.00016) on my MAC computer, running El Capitan. The compiler for my device was not installed so I wanted to install it manually.

If under "Help->Install New Software" I select "http: //software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2mac", then it is not available. (I'd like to know why that is. Logically, it should be here.)

If I select "http: //software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2linux", then it pops up as C5500 Compiler Tools 4.4.1 but when I select it and click NEXT, I get this message: 

"Cannot complete the install because some dependencies are not satisfiable
com.ti.cgt.c5500.4.4.linux.feature.group [4.4.1] cannot be installed in this environment because its filter is not applicable."

And indeed, if I click on "Show only software applicable to target environment" it disappears from the list of available items.

What do I need to get up and running with my new board? I want to learn about TI's DSPs.

Thanks, Sándor

  • Sandor,

    It seems that you don't have the C55x compiler installed. You can grab it from here software-dl.ti.com/.../download.htm and manually install it. I think version 4.4.2 is the only one supported on Mac.

    If that doesn't work, could you please try with CCSv6? There were some issues with using C55x on CCSv7 that we are looking into.

    Also, when you are installing CCS, please ensure you have the C5000 device support selected during the installation wizard.
