CCS project compatiblity

Jerry Trantow

I have created several 28335 projects using CCS v5.2.1.00018. Now other engineers are trying to work with these projects usign a slightly older CCS 5.2.0.0900 . We are stuck because their CCS imports the project I created but can't find make to build the code. They have a valid environment that can build other projects, it seems to a backwards compatibility where their build is generating a "make" command instead of "gmake -k". 

How do I create a compatible project file?

If they could update to the latest CCS, I think they could use the Project properties/Build/Builder tab to use the default build command, but they don't have this tab.

It is not always an easy matter to update development environments. I recently did a new install that ended up at CCS 5.2.1.00018, the rest of the team is behind and has to  work with internal IT to update their tools. There should be some way to create backwards compatible projects.

    There should not be any compatibility issues opening a 5.2.1 project with 5.2.0. I do see that the 5.2.0 version you mentioned is not the official release version but a 5.2.0M9 beta version. Not sure if there was some existing bug with the beta. I tried with the official release (5.2.0.00069) without issues.

    In any case there may have been some corruption on the import.

    That tab is normally hidden by default. In the project properties, check the lower left corner for the option to "Show Advanced Settings". This should expose the "C/C++ Build" properties where the option lies.

    They are in the process of updating to CCS v5.2.1 from CCSv5.1 which I assume will get us past this problem.  Should they have been able to open a 5.2.1 project from 5.1 (not 5.2.0)? 

    I am also having a problem installing the C2000 5.2.12 tools into CCS 5.2.1. I did a check for updates which was supposed to install these tools. Instead it only installed 6.0.4, 6.1.0, 6.1.1. This is for an aviation project and we have only qualified the 5.2.12 tools with our quality dept. How do I install the 5.2.12 compiler tools?

    I believe so. I tried it out with 5.1.0 and it imported fine.

    The update manager would just detect the latest versions of the compiler. You can get older versions from here:

    https://www-a.ti.com/downloads/sds_support/TICodegenerationTools/download.htm#C2000

    And point CCS to the location of where you install it via:
