arm_5.0.5 compiler installation problem

Keith Hall

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

I need to update to the ARM 5.x compiler to get support for packed structs to use the Starterware Ethernet code for OMAPL138. From CCS I was unable to update just the ARM compiler because of dependency errors so I did a general update of everything. I am unable to select the new compiler version from CCS (5.1.1.00031) Project>Properties>Resource>General> Compiler version only shows the old 4.x versions. If I try to browse to the new version at either C:\ti\ccsv5\tools\compiler\arm_5.0.5 or the \bin folder I get an error "no build-tools selected! please select a directory that contains the build tools for the ARM device family".

I have tried SetupInCCSnRegistry.exe in the compiler folder but no effect.

In Help>about CCS>Installation details>Installed S/W I can see 5.0.5 ARM compiler listed "  ARM Compiler Tools 5.0.5 com.ti.cgt.tms470.5.0.win32.feature.group Texas Instruments"

Please help

    Hi Keith,

    have you double checked permissions and antivirus issues?   are you using the same user account?

    Would you be willing to try ccs v5.4?

    Best regards,

    Lisa

    Lisa,

    I am on a Win XP PC with administrator rights.

    This is a company networked PC so I cannot disable antivirus S/W. 

    What do you mean by the same user a/c?

    I had assumed that by updating everything I would have the latest CCS. The way you ask the question about it are there some problems with 5.4? I am looking for a stable tool set which I can then stick with for the whole of my new product development in order to avoid just these types of issues which unfortunately seem to be very common.

    How do I update to CCS 5.4 if this is what you would recommend?

    Thanks.

    Hi Keith,

    I would remove your 5.1.1 and go with a fresh installation of v5.4.   what has been problematic is the update paths unfortunately.   that would likely leave you in the best state.

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    Lisa,

    After spending the whole day I have finally managed to get the Starterware enet_echo_armv5 example running with CCS5.4. One of the main problems I had was that I selected TI v5.0.4 compiler in the general properties settings as I assumed this is what I would need to do to use the v5 compiler. This caused a null pointer exception when I tried to build and I could not change back to the default v4.6.4 compiler. I eventually deleted the project and re-imported it which fixed that problem but then I had lots of problems with include and link paths which I had to manually edit.

    Thanks.
