Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Seems the latest version is 'Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) v5'.  I have code developed in Code Composer Studio v3.1.   If i purchase CCStudio v5 can i use my existing 3.1 projects?

    Maria,

    CCSv5 will attempt to import CCSv3.1 projects but the chances are you are going to have to do some manual work afterwards to get the project to build.

    Are you using DSP/BIOS?  If so which version?  With CCSv3.1 your BIOS version could be 4.80 or 4.90 which are not compatible with CCSv5.  So you would have to migrate that project to BIOS 5 (or 6) first.

    The compiler options have also changed a lot since CCSv3.1, the import wizard will do its best to map your existing options to the new equivalents but it is not always perfect.

    Back in CCSv3.1 we used to ship the Chip Support Library (CSL) with CCS.  We haven't done that in a long time, but if you are using it you will need to add the compiler and linker search paths to your project in CCSv5.

    The good news is that you don't have to purchase a new CCS license to see if things are going to work.  You can download CCSv5 and activate one of the free licenses like the 90 day eval and just give it a try.

    I read on http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio3 'If you wish to purchase a license for CCStudio v3 Platinum, this product is no longer sold. However if you have purchased a license for the current CCStudio product (v4 or v5), you can request a download link to CCStudio v3 at: request_ccsv3@list.ti.com'.  Is this still valid?  I would prefer to pay for additional licenses and just stick with what is currently being used for development.

    Yes that option is still valid. We do prefer that you use the latest versions of the tools but if you are insistent on v3.x, provide that also with the purchase of with a v5 license.

    I would also like to do the same use v3.1 as it works and seems less hassle setting it up.

    How much is the license for 3.1?

    Thanks

    I am trying to compile a CCSv3.1 developed project in CCSv5.5.

    How can the project be imported? When I tried to import the project CCSv5.5 did not find any files in wanted to import - nothing happened?

    The assembly language header files that the CCSv3.1 project used are not in CCSv5.5. I copied over headers from 3.1 and got it to compile, but now I'm faced with a plethora of link errors. Those look harder to resolve, it looks like the project is linking against libraries that maybe don't exist in CCSv5.5.

    What's the easy way to do this?

    I experienced errors trying to install CCSv3.1 on Windows 7. Does in run on windows 7?
