CODECOMPOSER: Looking for: "<installedPath>\tools\compiler\compiler\c6000_6.1.15" and "<installedPath>\tools\compiler\compiler\c6000_6.1.21"

Hi George,

Are you looking to see what versions of the compiler are bundled with a particular version of CCS? If so, what CCS versions are the installer for?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

Yes, I'm looking for those compilers bundle in the CCS release(s). I need those compilers to rebuild some projects. The CCS installer package had the following critical information: JAVA support and legacy chipset support (Single Core DSPs [C6000 Single-core Device Support, TI C6000 Compiler], and Multi Core Processor [C64x Multi-core Device Support]).

Unfortunately we lost all the original CCS installers, but still have information of the compiler version.

Regards,

George

Are you interested in just the compiler installers for that version or are you looking for the CCS installers that bundled those compiler version?

Those compiler versions are quite old so I assume it was being used with an old version of CCS.

Hi Ki,

We need the CCS installer that bundles those compiler version.

It's a legacy issue that we've to support the customer.

I've used a newer CCS6.1.1.00022_win32  (Complier 7.4..14) for another project. Due to some logistic issues. I had to  link some older libraries (built with one of those old compiler) to the new project.  If we can't locate the older CCS releases, we have to configure all those lib projects with the new CCS6x.

Could you recommend a newer CCS release that supports JAVA//legacy chipset support (Single Core DSPs , and Multi Core Processor)?

Regards,

George

Hi Ki,

It looks like that our colleague had installed the stand-alone compiler v6.1.21 onto the previously installed CCS 4.1.3 few years ago,

I'm not sure how we got the stand-alone compiler v6.1.21. 

Recently another colleague has used this same method to install the stand-alone compiler v6.1.21 onto the installed CCS 6.1.1 to replace the new compiler v7.4.14 with the older v6.1.21. 

We must provide this CCS tool configuration in all future software release via the SBOM file.

Is this stand-alone compiler replacement method still valid for CCS6.1.1?

Hi Ki,

A former colleague has released a package with some binary images built using two compilers. Now the customer wants to know the differences between the compilers v6.1.15 and v6.1.21.

1. Where may we find such information?

2 Which CCS that bundles C6000 compiler v6.1.21?

3. CCS 4.1.3 release note, README_FIRST.txt refers to http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Release_Notes_CCSv4 - Is there another link?

Regards,

George

Just FYI, I'm not a compiler expert so I don't have any personal expertise. But...

I was able to dig up all the release/readme info I could find on both versions.

I zipped them up and attached them below:

c6000_6.1.15.zipc6000_6.1.21.zip

None. CCS 4.1.3 come with v6.1.15. The next release of CCS is 4.2.0. That comes with v7.0.3.

So v6.1.21 was never bundled with a CCS version. It was likely acquired by update (or a standalone compiler package provided from some TI person)

Our old wiki has been decommissioned for some time. While we migrated some of the newer content to other locations, we didn't do so for some of the old unsupported version like CCSv4.

Thanks
