CCSTUDIO-THEIA: Creating Project from Vendor Supplied Makefile

Part Number: CCSTUDIO-THEIA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

I have a makefile and source for a project that was built with CCS ti-cgt-c2000_6.4.4, but no CCS project workspace file.  Is there a way to build this with the latest CCS from the makefile?  I went thru Creating a new project but seems like it requires selecting a sample program.  Which example should I use?  Also do you recommend using the latest CCS or trying the older version?  Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Custom makefile projects (which existed with CCS Eclipse) are not supported by CCS Theia (20.x).

    The new C2000 project templates you see are basically examples from C2000Ware. Depending on your device, there will be different examples available. Which is best suitable would depend on what you are looking for. Many of the newer devices have some sort of "empty" example which is intended to be a basic starting point for a new project.

    If you wish to use a custom makefile with CCS, then you can consider CCS 12.8.1. Otherwise I would recommend the latest CCS 20.3.1.

    Thanks

    Actually, we will be allowing users to use custom build commands similar to what was in CCS Eclipse. This will allow users to use custom make utilities and specify custom makefiles. This feature will be coming in the CCS 20.4.0 release scheduled for the end of this month.
