CCS/TMS320F2808: CCS update guide

Part Number: TMS320F2808

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi

We have an old firmware for TM320F2808 developed in CCS version 4.2.3.00004 and with Code generation Tools version 5.2.10. I now want to do some Changes in the firmware and I am thinking of moving to the latest version of CCS version 9.1. Is this good to do and if yes how is the best way to do it. I have installed CCS version 9.1 on my computer but I don't understand the best way of translating the old CCS v4 Project into a CCS v9 Project. 

Best regads

  • Hello,

    A CCSv4->CCSv9 project migration is quite a move. There is no comprehensive document that covers such a move. I would suggest using the CCS Import Wizard in CCSv9 to import the CCSV4 project. This works fairly well. But there may be a few issues such as:

    • CCSv9 may complain that it cannot find compiler version 5.2.10. In that case, I would suggest installing that version and have CCS "detect" it so that it can be used. The easiest way is to use the "Installing New Software" feature in CCS to install CGT v5.2.10.
    • If your old CCSv4 project uses DSP/BIOS, note that CCSv9 no longer ships with it. You will need to install it separately. You can get a link to it from App Center
    • If you are using DSP/BIOS, note that debug support for it has been deprecated. Basically, the DSP/BIOS RTA tools are no longer supported. 

    Good luck
