PGA970: What version of code composer do I install with the EVM?

Douglas Bush

Part Number: PGA970

If I follow the instructions in the Software Quick Start Guide they do not work and I have much confusion.

Procedure to Build PGA970 Code
1. Download latest Code Composer Studio (CCS) from TI website.
• processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS
2. While installing CCS on machine, use option "Setup Type: Complete Feature Set".
3. Check whether rtsv6M0_T_le_eabi.lib is present in following path: C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\ ti-cgtarm_
5.2.6\lib\ (if CCS is installed on C:\ drive otherwise select appropriate drive).
4. In case rtsv6M0_T_le_eabi.lib is not presents in above path then copy rtsv6M0_T_le_eabi.lib into path
C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\ ti-cgt-arm_5.2.6\lib \ (if CCS is installed on C:\ drive otherwise select
appropriate drive).
5. Copy PGA970 folder (having PGA970 code) or ‘code’ folder into any path e.g. D:\temp
6. Launch CCS IDE.
7. Workspace Launcher window will get pop-up.
8. Provide workspace path e.g. D:\temp

First..  I tried version 9, then version 11.  Nothing described is there even if I compensate for the bad directory names provided.

At a guess, when this was written Version 6 was used, but TI has stern warnings that its not supported on a 64bit OS.  So? What do I install?

I also have no idea what "PGA970 folder" above is referring to.  What is that?  Is there some documentation on that?  Where is it?

    Hello,

    You will need to download the PGA970 firmware example code. It is available in the same TI my secure resources directory where the datasheet and other documentation are located. To compile the example you will need to use the ARM compiler 5.x, and you will have to copy the rtsv6m0 lib file into the compiler folder for whichever version you install. In CCS go to help-> install new software to find the available compiler versions.

    The example code does not provide firmware for a fully functioning application, and is mainly used as an example of the file structure and shell functions that can be modified. 

    You can use later ARM compiler versions, but they may not compile the project as-is, and you will still need to include the rtsv6m0 lib file in the directory of the compiler you are using, or point to it directly from the project options menu.


    Regards,

    Scott

    What is "ARM compiler 5.x" and where do I find it?  What is it stored in?  Please, a link, or something useful.  I've already spent 3 hours installing and uninstalling Code Composer by following the instructions as provided by TI.

    It is available in the CCS Help menu under "install new software". Select "All available sites" and search for ARM. Then scroll down to find the ARM compiler tools
