Update of ARM and C2800 compiler tools dose not work

Hello!

I want to update the ARM and C2800 compiler tools from 4.9.1 to 4.9.5 (ARM) and 6.0.2 to 6.1.0. CCS5.1 tells me, that the tools are already installed (Install Details of CCS) and "will be ignored", but at "ccsv5\tools\compiler\c2000\bin" the call "cl2000.exe -version" shows version v6.0.2 and at "ccsv5\tools\compiler\tms470\bin" the call "cl470.exe -version" shows version 4.9.1. In the Project properties only the older versions are selectable.

What is wrong? Where can I get the tools directly?

Other question:

Where I can get the relaese notes for the ARM and C2800 compiler tools?

Regards

  • If you go to Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Compilers, do you see the versions 4.9.5 and 6.1.0 listed there? If not, make sure that the path to where these tools are installed is added to the Tool discovery path in the top part of that screen, and Refresh to allow them to be discovered.

    Alternately, in your project properties->General, can you click on More next to the Compiler version, then "select new build-tool from file-system" and browse to the location where your newer versions are installed.

    The release notes for every version of the compiler tools will be within the folder where the tools are installed. Typically the files are README, DefectHistory.txt and will be, for example, in \ccsv5\tools\compiler\c2000.

  • The dialog "Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Compilers" tell me, that only 4.9.1 and 6.0.2 are installed.The discovery pathes are

    "C:/TI" and

    "C:/TI/ccs5/tools/compiler".

    I found no other folders on may computer with files "cl2000.exe" or "cl470.exe" in it (search on all local drives). Nonetheless the updater tells me, that ARM Tools 4.9.5 and C28 Tools 6.1.0 are installed - but where to find?

    I think, I should work with a complete new installation of CCS !?

  • Hi Ulrich,

    would you be willing to try upgrading to 5.2 first?  I would strongly recommend doing that.   Also you can try removing the feature from the installation.

    Please keep us updated.

  • Hi Lisa!

    I have done a complete new installation with "CCS5.2.0.00069_win32.zip" package and than update the ARM Compiler Tools to 4.9.5. In the way it works fine.

    The online update from 5.1 to 5.2 fails, this is not very handsome ... but OK, it works now.

    Thanks

  • Ulrich,

    Glad you are up and going!

    I would like to see if we can determine why the update did not work for you. Could you help us do so by providing a description of what failed and the installation logs?  The installation logs are located in c:\program files\InstallJammer Registry, or depending on the Windows version, perhaps in c:\program files (x86)\InstallJammer Registry. The folder is hidden by default so yo may need to unhide it. If you are able to, please zip this folder and post it here.

  • Hello!

    Sorry, I don't find such a directory (WIN XP, show hidden files and folders is enabled, I searched drive C: for "InstallJammer").

    A colleague of mine had installed the version "CCS5.2.0.00069_win32" in the folder where "CCS5.1.0.09000_win32" was installed before. In this case, he has similar problems with the ARM compiler updates as I had with the online update (Our target processor ist concerto  "F28M35H52C1").

    The way to an successful update seems to be a complete new installation to an other location.
