CODECOMPOSER: TMS320F280x support in Theia based CCS Create New Project Wizard

Hi Steven,

I believe the example project requires external device support found here: https://www.ti.com/tool/SPRC191

That's good suggestion, but not the solution. I already have SPRC191 installed at the default location. It does not seem to change the availability of TMS320F2808 in the Create New Project Wizard.

(I also note that SPRC only comes as an .exe - so would never help on macOs or Linux boxes anyway - I see the problem on macOS and Windows - not tried Linux)

Hi Steven,

It seems these devices are left out of the device mappings for the new CCS 20. I'll check with our CCS team to understand if this is on their roadmap to include and what their recommendation is. For now, it would be best to continue development using LTS CCS v12

If I create a project in CCS v12 I can import it in to CCS20.1 and it works - build debugs, even with security password settings active.

Are you saying this is a fluke and CCS20 does not officially support the TMS320F280x parts?

Hi Steven,

This is not a fluke, the CCS v20 is backwards compatible with projects created in CCS v12 application. It is just that the F280x devices are older devices which are not present in the device mappings. The newer C2000 devices are prioritized in the build testing, especially those which are currently supported by our C2000Ware SDK

Peter
