Can't install XDCTOOLS 3_24_06_63

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Not sure if this belongs in the CCS or BIOS forum.  Please move it if necessary.

I recently cleaned up my CCSv5 directory.  I had A LOT of old versions of stuff (DSPBIOS, SYSBIOS, IPC, XDCTOOLS, NDK, etc).  I uninstalled / deleted everything I didn't need (or so I thought).

I left XDCTOOLS 3.25.02.70 has the only version on my machine.  Projects complied fine for my SYSBIOS projects.  However, when I switched over to DSPBIOS project, things fell apart.  After a closer look at the release notes, it appears support for DSPBIOS projects was dropped starting with 3.25.xx.xx.  No big deal, I'll just re-install 3.24.06.63 and make sure I use that for all my DSPBIOS projects.

I've downloaded 3.24.06.63, and can see it installed in the correct folder location.  When I go into Control Panel -> Programs and Features, I can see XDCtools 3.24.06.63 listed so I know Windows installed it.  However, when I start CCSv5 it doesn't find the 3.24.06.63 (normally new SW is found at startup of CCSv5).  When I go to the Project -> Properties -> RTSC tab it only show 3.25.2.70 in the drop down.  Trying to manual install using the More... also failed.

So, how do I get back to having both 3.24.06.63 and 3.25.02.70 installed on the same machine?

Thanks, Dean

    Dean,

    For DSP/BIOS it should use the xdctools that are part of the DSP/BIOS installation automatically.  i.e. you shouldn't have to ( or even be able to)specify the tools.  If you look in the DSPBIOS_5_4x_xx_xx folder in CCS there should be an xdctools folder under it.

    For me I don't  even get an option to select the xdctools version when working with BIOS5.  

    If I have a BIOS6 project then I can see it.

    What does your RTSC tab look like?

    You are correct.  It appears we are OK for our old DSPBIOS projects.  How about if I wanted to downgrade from 3.25.02.70 to 3.24.06.63 in our SYSBIOS projects?  Our first SYSBIOS project that attempt to use 3.25.02.70 bombed (compiled fine, but bombed at runtime).  I would like to step back to 3.24.06.63 to see if that what caused the problem.  However I'm unable to get CCSv5 to recognize 3.24.06.63.

    I can get it to downgrade to the 3.24.5.48 that came with CCSv5.3.  I will download 3.24.6.63 and see if I can get it to work.

    Ok I installed the same version as you: 3.24.06.63.  I installed it into c:\ti\xdctools_3_24_06_63

    When I started CCS it detected it automatically.

    If you installed in a different location you can tell CCS where it is by going to the Window->Preferences menu.  Select Code Composer Studio -> RTSC -> Products in the tree on the left.  You can add a search path at the top of the dialog, then restart CCS and then go back to that dialog and see if it is now listed on the bottom

    Nope the "auto detect" isn't finding 3.24.6.63.  Furthermore, under the "Discovered tools" window, I don't even see the XDCtools tree.  I've installed 3.24.6.63 in the same folder as all other downloaded stuff, and it is the same folder that contains 3.25.x.x  Obviuosly I screwed something up when I uninstalled a bunch of stuff.  Some of the stuff I uninstalled via the Control Panel -> Programs and Features, some via the uninstall program that lived in the folder, and some by just deleting the folder.  Not everything uninstalls the same way.

    Looks like I'm heading for a complete re-install of CCSv5.  There goes a day.

    Thanks for trying to help.

    Damn.

    For uninstalling CCS I always just delete the folder.  For standalone XDC tools running the uninstaller is not a bad idea as it adds some registry entries but personally I just delete the folders for those as well.
