Code composer core edition (limited version)

Lucas Guerreiro

Dear all,

I have a project for the MSP430 that demands more than 16k of memory space. The CCS5.1 core edition does not allows me to compile all the source code. I’m wondering if is possible to break the code in to separate libraries in order to allow the CCS5.1 limited version to compile the whole project.

Dear Lisa,

What I’m trying is to implement the same approach used by the Chonos watch software. The package provides some code as libraries, and the user is allowed to build the application with the limited version of the CSS. I have the following questions:

- What is limited? The compiler or the linker? I’m able to create my libraries without errors or warnings; the code limit issue only appears when I try to link them with my main code.

- To use this strategy do I really need to create the libraries with the CCS full version?

Hi Lucas,

it is indeed a linker limitation and you idea of breaking things up into libraries will unfortunately, as mentioned, no work.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Dear Lisa,

I’m from an university and our institution owns a license of the CCS 5.1. What I need to know is how to create a library, for example with the licensed versions, that could be distributed to other users using the CCS limited version, in the same way as the chromos software package.

Is this possible?

Hi Lucas,

unfortunately I doubt very much this is possible.

However, what I have done is flagged this case to our university program team in case they have addition comments or help that may be provided here.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hello Lucas / Lisa - please reference this Q&A for academics regarding CCS http://e2e.ti.com/group/university_zone/f/777/t/165038.aspx including how students and instructors can obtain CCS for no charge.
