CCS/SIMPLELINK-CC32XX-SDK: Can't build SimpleLink project with CCS 8

Part Number: SIMPLELINK-CC32XX-SDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3235S, SYSBIOS, SYSCONFIG

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm using CC8 version 8 (CCS8.3.1.00004_win32) and simplelink_cc32xx_sdk_4_10_00_07. I tried to build 2 projects in SimpleLink 32xx SDK but both didn't work. One project is tirtos_builds_CC3235S_LAUNCHXL, another is network_terminal.

When I built tirtos_builds_CC3235S_LAUNCHXL_release_ccs project, I got this message

making ../src/sysbios/sysbios.aem4 ...
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for 'configPkg/linker.cmd'.
making ../src/sysbios/sysbios.aem4 ...
gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

When I built network_terminal project, I got this error.

I updated GNU 9.0 and installed xdctools_3_50_08_24_core, but project building still got error. Please tell me how to solve this error.

  • Hi,

    New SDK examples does use Sysconfig and from this reason you need to update to CCS version 10.

    CC32xx SDK (SimpleLink driver) can be used with CCS 8.3 but you can't use SDK examples and you need to manually install 32bit version of XDCtools (v. 3.51.3.28).

  • HI Jan,

    1. Is there any conflict between many CCS versions? Do I need to remove CCS 8 before installing CCS 10? Or I can setup all versions in my PC?

    2. What do u mean by "manually install 32bit version of XDCtools " ? I think I only need to download it and install. How to do it manually?

    3. Do u mean CCS 8 can also use SimpleLink C32xx API functions but I have to create a new project and write code from scratch?

  • Hi,

    1) No you don't need to remove CCS 8. You can install CCS 10 into new directory into C:\ti and all should be fine. Be aware that CCS 10 requires 64bit system.

    2) This options make sense if you have older project with CC32xx and you need to use 32 bit IDE for some reason. In other way you should use CCS 10. Yes, I talk about manual download and installation of older version of XDCtools.

    3) With CCS 8 you will not be able use any SDK example which uses Syconfig for peripheral configuration. All examples in CC32xx SDK v 4.10.0.7 does uses Sysconfig. Simple you can use CCS 8 with CC32xx devices, but you need to be already familiar with platform and you need to know what are you doing. If you are starting with CC32xx devices, you should to install CCS 10 definitely.

  • Hello Hector,

    Jan's answers regarding CCS and SysConfig are correct. 

    As for the questions regarding the LaunchPad jumper configuration, I have split those posts to a new thread in the WiFi forum.

    Thanks

  • Hi Ki,

    Did you move my jumper question to another thread (which link?) or I have to create another one?
