Code Generation tools

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438, CCSTUDIO, TMS320F2801, TMS320F2808

Hi...

I have installed CCE V3.1 and updated it completely. 

But I am not able to create a new project because I am getting an error msg - 

----------

No Code Generation tools are currently installed for this project type. Please install Code Generation tools before creating a project. 

----------

What can be the problem? how to resolve this? 

Another thing is...I have the complete CCE with me. And I am using the MSP430F5438 board. Now, 5438 devcie is not supported by the version of CCE that I have. If I update I am taken to the link for the 16K limited version. 

How to overcome this? I mean how to update CCE so that I can get the support for complete MSP series? 

 

Thanks

Suman G. 

  • The error usually indicates that CCE, specifically the code generation tools, did not install correctly . The recommend suggestion is to uninstall CCE, delete the directory where CCE was installed, and then reinstall it.

    Support for 5438 is in the latest service release for CCE. First install base CCE v3 Pro from CD, followed by SR1 (slac135f) available for download at this link: http://www.ti.com/litv/zip/slac135f

  • The link mentioned doesnot open. 

     

    I re-installed CCE full version and then the problem was solved. So I installed the CCE V3.1 core edition to get MSP430F5318. 

     

    Now the same problem has started to come. No Code Generation tools available. 

     

    Please advise. 

    Thanks

  • There might be some conflicts due to multiple uninstalls/reinstalls and going between core and full version. To get a clean uninstall, uninstall all previously installed versions using Windows Add/Remove Programs, then delete the directory where CCE was installed before reinstalling.

    The above link should allow you to save the slac135f.zip file which contains the installer to update base CCE v3 Pro to v3.1 SR1 which is the latest service release.

     

  • I am trying to upgrade my code generation tool set I have already upgraded CCStudio version to 3.3.82.13 but installing any CGT set doesnt upgrade my CGT set (according to the help->about panel) it is stuck on v4.1.3 I have tried the

    4.1.4

    5.0.1

    5.2.3

    and it is still stuck to 4.1.3.

     

    Anyone else have the same problem? Or more importantly any suggestions?

  • You need to use the Component Manager to select which code generation tools version to use.  This allows you to have multiple versions installed and select which one to use at the time.

    Help->About : Component Manager

    Or select Component Manager in the Program Folder of Code Composer Studio.

  • thanks it seems rather obvious when somebody tells you where to look.

     

    Ok here is a question that I have posted in a no. of places and nobody has a clue about.

    I have an identical project that I can compile using CCStudio v3.3 and v4 using CGtools 5.2.1

    • builds without any problems
    • I can use the RAM linker file and run it in debug mode without any problems
    • when I use the Flash linker file it builds no problems
    • when I try flashing it works fine through CCStudio v3.3 but in v4 it crashes midway after erase due to an unexpected halt??

    I can also take the output file from CC Studio v4 and load it onto a board using the CCStudio v3.3 programmer and it runs fine so the problem appears to be with the CCStudio v4 Flash API and the TMS320F2801.

    Incidentally I have no problems running the code on a TMS320F2808 when compiled with the relevant memory map ofcourse.

    Is there a way to change the Flash API for Code Composer v4?
