CCS/EK-TM4C123GXL: XDCtools

Scott,

Looks like it needs an older version of XDCTools.  I took a look at the release notes for TI-RTOS 2.16 and it mentions XDCTools 3.32.  You can download older versions of XDCTools here: http://downloads.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/rtsc/

Regards,

John

John,

I should have mentioned this in the original post, but I'm trying to run the example code helloworld_EK_TM4C123GXL_TI.

I downloaded some previous versions of XDCTools, but I don't know how to point to them. Can you please let me know how I can change the XDC_CG_ROOT path variable? I've tried going into Preferences but the Edit button is greyed-out.

Scott,

CCS should detect the new installation of XDCTools and list it here:

If it is not listed you can specify where it is installed at the top of that dialog and then refresh.

Once the XDCTools installation is detected you can set your project to use it. Here is a screen shot from CCSv9.30 showing project properties and where the xdctools version is specified.  Changing this will result in that other variable being changed.

Regards,

John

John,

Thanks for the tip, very helpful. I tried xdctools_3_32_00_06 and here's what I get:

I'm also seeing this when I "clean" the project:

Then I tried building without clean, I got:

**** Build Finished ****

I googled "child state waiting for longjmp" and it seems to be related to Windows PATH var. 

Is there an option in CCS to report in a log file where it's getting libraries?
thank you,
Scott

John,

Thanks for your help!  that seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not sure exactly what fixed it because I changed a couple Windows path variables, restarted CCS a few times, and rebuilt the project a few times. I followed the suggestions from the link you sent me: and I removed WinAVR completely and removed a path variable C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments. So, I think it came down to removing the path variables. I posted them here in case anyone else has this issue.

thanks again!
