CCS V5: select different than CCS-installed build tools version from network drive

Hi Lisa,

This is a feedback-post to your answer in this posting (May 22, 4:41 PM) (my system: CCS V5.2, C6000, DSP BIOS V5.41, DM648)

I want to keep every build tools version with which I built a released softwareversion for later (debugging, build of patches in the same environment). For that I copy build tools and DSP BIOS folders from the CCS installation on my work PC to a network drive (e.g. the folder CCStudio_v5.2/bios_5_41_13_42 for BIOS and CCStudio_v5.2/ccsv5/tools/compiler/c6000_7.3.4). Your answer to my question if this is possible was:

>Did you select the proper directory?

I tested again with CCS V5.2 (first uninstalled V5.1 then installed from full installer) and first it did work to select copies of CCS V5.1 build tools and build a project with this.

Then I discovered the problem: selecting a copy of a locally installed DSP BIOS versionin Project Properties -> General -> Advanced -> DSP/BIOS version -> More -> Select from file-system will fail with this error message:

(for example if my CCS installation brings DSP BIOS 5.41.13.42 with it and I want to select a folder containing a copy of 5.41.13.42 somewhere else)

so I think that selecting a copy of build tools or DSP BIOS only works if the build tools are different from the locally installed ones. This is what I have seen when I was testing this point. But generally you are right - it does work.

One more small thing that could be improved is that you actually dont see that you have this network-drive copy of the buildtools selected. You see in the compiler output which path is used but in the Project Properties -> General -> Compiler Version (or also when reopening 'More' window), it just tells the compiler version, not if its locally or selected from somewhere else...

bye,

Thomas
