compiler versions

I have two CCS5 installations (Version 5.1.0.09000) using the C2800 compiler, version 6.0.2.  I just installed a third CCS5 (Version 5.2.0.00069).  It uses the C2800 compiler, version 6.1.0.  I want this third installation to use the 6.0.2 compiler.  I assume that this is easy to change, but I don't know how to do it.  A little help? 

  • Yes, I saw that page.  Those instructions don't make clear to me how to proceed when the compiler I want to use (6.0.2) is not installed on the laptop with the newer compiler (6.1.0). 

    How do I get 6.0.2 onto this third computer so that CCS5 sees it (so that I can follow the instructions that you've pointed out)?  Can I use an older CCS5 installation disk?  Or will it give me grief about licenses?  Maybe I should uninstall the newer installation and install from the older CCS5 disk, using the newer CCS5 license?  Maybe I can simply copy entire directories from one computer to another, but perhaps there are registry issues in doing that.  I don't have time for trial and error, so I'm asking here:  what's the correct and fastest way through this?

  • Hi,

    Go to this page https://www-a.ti.com/downloads/sds_support/TICodegenerationTools/index.htm

    Login and then go to Downloads and download the C2000 compiler v 6.0.2, install it and then follow the instructions in the Wiki (i nCCS: Window -> Preferences -> Code Composer Studio -> Build -> Compilers and add the directory where the compiler was installed, could be something like: C:\ti\C2000 Code Generation Tools 6.0.2).

    Regards

    This information is correct but also note that the C2000 codegen tools in this link are code size limited tools. If you are looking for the full unlimited tools, go to menu Help->Install New Software in CCS. In the "Work With" drop down list, select Code Generation Tools Updates. Expand the updates and you should find c2000 Compiler tools there. If you don't see 6.0.2, uncheck the box that says "Show only the latest versions of available software". Then you should be able to select and install v6.0.2.

  • Hi, Aarti

    I didn't know that those links are for Code Size Limited Tools. Thanks for clarifying that.

  • Looks like someone took the liberty of clicking "Verified" before I responded.  The wrong answer was selected.  The answer that got me through my problem was the next answer, the one that contained the following:

    Just wanted to clarify, since I can no longer verify. 

    Thanks for the help!!!  I'm up and running now.
