adding a directory to the source search path in CCS v3.3

I am using CCS v3.3 and the CCSripting utility to download my image to a target and run. I am running a perl script to automate this process. The perl script contains CCS Scripting calls to load the program, reset the board, run the executable....etc.  When trying to debug the program i have to manually point to the directory where the source code resides. Is there a way via some CCS scripting call to add a path to the search path that CCS will look for the source in so i don't have to manually select and configure search directories from inside the CCS IDE? The directory i run the perl script from (current directory) contains the executable image i need to download and run, but the source code is at a different location, so i'd like to have both paths on the search path.

 

Thanks

    Hello,

    There is no CCScripting API but there is a GEL function called 'GEL_SrcDirAdd( "directory" )' you can use by calling it from the CCScriping API 'TargetEvalExpression' (which can call any GEL function or expression).

    Thanks

    can the "directory" parameter passed to the GEL function contain multiple search paths (separated by ; or ,)  and should the it be using forward slashes or backslashes in the directory path name? where can i find the GEL functions API descriptions?

     

    thanks

    It's one path at a time. You will have to make multiple calls to add multiple paths

    I would use forward slashes since backslashes must be indicated with the escape sequence of \\.

    'Help->Contents'. Then expand 'Making a Code Composer Project -> Automating Tasks with General Extension Language (GEL) -> Built-In GEL Functions'

    Thanks
