CCS: CCS: CCS V7 Problem / compiler

Rob Price
Intellectual 310 points

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have a large project that was built on CCS V6 for TMS570LS11xx processor.

I have installed CCS V7 on a Windows 7 and 10 platforms (same development machines that run V6 OK).

When I compile on V7 the compiler gets stuck when trying to link in libraries.  See screen grab.

When I escape from Compile, the following message is reported in the console,

!CommandLauncher.error.commandCanceled!

Error: Program "C:/ti/ccsv7/utils/bin/gmake" is not found in PATH’

I check the path and GMAKE is present.

I have tried multiple times of uninstall/reinstall, updates, reboots etc.

Please suggest what I can do… I have spent way too much time on this already getting V7 to run.

Regards

Rob

    Rob,

    So the same project when imported into CCSv6 builds fine, but when imported into CCSv7 locks up during linking, is that correct? How long did you let the link step go before you killed it?

    Which version of compiler tools were being used for the CCSv6 build? There are a couple of things you could try to first isolate if the issue is specific to the version of linker you are using.

    1) Set up CCSv7 to use the same version of compiler tools as CCSv6 did and check if the build completes.

    To do this you would need to have CCSv7 discover that version of the compiler tools. Go to menu Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Compilers. Click on Add and add the path to the CCSv6 compiler tools directory. After the compiler version appears in the "Discovered tools" list you can go into the Project Properties and set the compiler version to use for the build.

    2) Alternately you could try building with a newer version of compiler tools than 16.9.1.LTS. There is a 16.12.0.STS that you can install by going to menu Help->Install New Software, select "Code Generation Tools Updates" in the Work with list, and choose the ARM Compiler Tools version 16.12.0.STS to install.  Then set the project to use this new version for the build.

    Let us know how this goes.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    I let the V7.1 compiler run for 15-20 minutes stuck on the linking process before i quit.  Always fails at the same point.

    I installed the same compiler from V6 (V15.12.4) into V7 and it works !!

    So the issue seems to be related to the new versions of the compiler in V7.1

    i have tried V16.9.2.LTS and V16.9.1.LTS in V7.1, both get stuck at the same point.

    regards

    Rob

    Rob,

    Could you try compiler version 16.12.0.STS with CCS 7.1? You should be able to install it using the procedure I outlined in my previous post. Since that is newer than the 16.9.x it is possible the issue is already fixed.
