cannot import the examples CCSv5.1

HI Hasan,

when you installed CCS, did you install C2000 support?  What C2000 compiler versions do you have in your isntallation?  You can see this if you go to Window->Preferences->COde Composer Studio->Build->COde Generation TOols.   COuld you please send a screen shot.

What if you do not copy anything?  Please try Project->Import exsisting CCS/Eclipse project and do it that way by browsing to the example in its original form.  What if you try to bring in the example from the TI Resource Explorer? 

Do you get asked if you wish to migrate the project to newer code generation tool version?

A few further details will help us here so that we can try to get you working with the example/CCS.

Best Regards,
Lisa

this is the screenshot of the compilers you asked. i tried to import the project by browsing, but it's the same error again, also when i tried to use resource explorer.

this is the only error/warning it shows, nothing else.

Hi Hasan,

ok I believe you are getting this error because the example was created with C2000 code generation(compiler) v5.2 and you only seem to have an old 4.x version of the C2000 compiler.  CCS can convert to a newer version but can not convert back to an older one.  This is the problem.

So you need to get compiler v5.2 or newer.  Could you please go to

Help->Check for Updates and please see what code generation and emulation updates you have.  Please try to get the newer compiler version this way.

Keep us informed how that goes.

Best Regards,
Lisa

i did the updates and installed them as you told, but it shows the same message. checked for the updates again, there's nothing to update anymore.

what should i do now? this is the new screenshot of the list.

Hi Hasan,

so there were no C2000 updates found at all?  No updates at all?  Ok, please try through Help->Install New Software and in the drop down menu select "all available sites".  Please let me know what you see/check whether you can get the C2000 update there. 

While you double check that I am going to check here whether I will be able to send you a newer version offline.  We unfortunately don't have the full version of the C2000 compiler posted, so I would need permission to send this out.

Once again, please keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

i think i cannot get the update by this way...

Hi Hasan,

look under C2000 Device support and TI Emulation and let me know. 

Best Regards,

Lisa

i'm not sure if this is what you asked?

Hi Hasan,

yes please give that a try.  If it does not update your compiler version, please send me a friend or conversation request and I will send it offline.

Best Regards,
Lisa

okay, i sent the request, thank you.

HI Hasan,

i just sent it offline.  Keep me informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

i recieved your mail, but i don't know how to open an ftp session, i've tried the link at the bottom, it asked userid and password, entered them, but it cannot connect to ti.com.

if you please help a little more, i'll be grateful.

HI Hasan,

I am not sure there is anything else I can do.  Try from a command prompt.  ftp ftppickup.ti.com ..etc ... all instructions are in what I send ... ID, password it is step by step all there.

Keep us informed.

Best Regards,

Lisa

okay, i got the file finally and installed it. i still get the same error. i run the setup file to install and chose the ti folder for installation directory.

is there any other way to install it?

Hi Hasan,

could you please make sure CCS is finding it?  Have a look at that Code Generation Tools list we have checked a couple times.  Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Code Generation Tools.

If installed properly it should show up there and this is also where you can manually point CCS to it.

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

i cans see it in the list but it has an x sign.

Hi Hasan,

this means it is not properly installed.  What error does it give?  Hover over it and it should tell you.  Are you using Win 7?  If so double check if under c:\ti ... where the compiler was unzipped there is not an extra folder.  Ie two folder in a row with the same name.  We have seen the built in unzip in win 7 adds a directory/folder like this.

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,

Lisa

i am using win7, and i unzipped the compiler just inside the ti folder. i chose the installation directory manually as c:\ti \ccsv5\ tools\ compiler does that cause a problem?

Hi Hasan,

as long as you double check win 7 did not "duplicate" a directory and you pointed CCS to the compiler you should be fine.

Do you have a directory one after the other with the same name?  (what I mean by duplicate directory)  What error do you get?  What does it say when you hover over the x?

Best Regards,
Lisa

it says "support for this tool is not available. please update your workbench with the latest tool definitions" when i hover.

Hi Hasan,

that is odd you get that error.  I may need to get a bit of support from some colleagues here.

However, one thing I would like you to try is to open the TI Resource Explorer and try to import the example that way.  Do you have Control Suite installed?

One easy way to do this is to try bringing in the/an example by going to Project->CCS Example Projects ...

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

yes the control suite is installed.

i tried the resource explorer to import and it's still the same.

Hi Hasan,

we are at a bit of a loss as this should work.

We are wondering if your CCS installation has an issue or got corrupted somehow.  You did try a fresh workspace? Could you try to import a different example, like one of the ones for F2806x or F28M3 .. something created for CGT 6.0.x and see if those import properly. That may give some clues if the CGT version is the issue or if his CCS itself might have a problem.

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

i tried to import an example for F2806x and it is imported succesfully, no error showed up.

Hi Hasan,

hmmm .   Could you test if you are successful or if you get the same error message for all projects (ie) try some others under F2803x or F2802x etc.

If you find one, you even zip up one that works for us.

Please keep us posted.

Best Regards,

Lisa

i've tried almost every example. but only F2806x examples imported. for the others, ş got the same error message.

Hi Hasan,

we are still at a loss here as we simply can not reproduce this at all.  It could be something got corrupted in your CCS installation or it could still be to do with the code generation tools.

Before suggesting a clean CCS install, let me send you another C2000 compiler version offline to try and install.

I will send you the message in a while and just please keep us informed whether you can install this version successfully and if so then import the examples you are hoping to use.

Best Regards,

Lisa

i've tried to get the compiler from pickup three times, but it says "no such file or directory" for the ti_cgt_c2000_5.2.0_setup_win32.zip file.

i don't know what is wrong, but it didn't work. i think i should install the ccs again.

Hi Hasan,

that is probably a good idea.  Give that a try.  Make sure to use only folders with no special or accented characters and also make sure to unzip the installer before installation.

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hi Hasan,

just thought I would check how the reinstall went. 

Best Regards,
Lisa

I couldn't reinstall CCS yet, when i do i will let you know the result

thanks
