Texas Instrument Simulator connection option is missing from CCSv6 beta 4 target configuration

In regards to URL that Aarti posted, note that the ability to get it from the App Center is not supported in Beta 4. It will be in the final release.

Is it possible to get it for CCSv6 without going to the App Center?

Stephen

What exact build are you using? I think the simulators got pulled sometime after beta 4 now that I think of it. I launched my install of the official beta 4 (build 156) and the simulators are in there.

Hello Ki-Soo,

I am using beta 4 (build 156).  Is it possible to install the simulator without re-installing beta 4?

Stephen

It should be in build 156. Not sure what you do not see it. You can try repairing your installation (rerun the installer over the existing install) but not sure if that will resolve your issue. Otherwise there is no way to drop in simulator support.

The final release will be released soon (end of this week or next week). In that release, you can get the simulators from the app center. I would wait for that build.

Thanks

I re-ran the install.  I didn't see a simulator option, so I didn't continue with the installationl.  shown below are the option dialog boxes that were displayed during the re-installation. 

Also, my company computer doesn't allow me to disable the virus scanner as recommended by the installation program.  Could that be the issue?

Stephen

Sorry, I'm not really sure why it is not there. I assume you want to use the F283x CPU simulator.

Check the following directory:

<INSTALL DIR>\ccsv6\ccs_base\common\targetdb\configurations

Is there a file 'tisim_f283x.xml"? Do you have any files in that directory?

Yes, there are a quite a few files.  I see tisim_f283x.xml, which I think is related to the TMS320F28335.  Is that correct?.

I just installed the final release of 6.0 and sure enough, the simulators went away and my ccxml file configured for a c64+ simulator no longer works. I'm in the app center (via view -> ccs app center) and I see nothing that appears to be simulators. Am I doing it wrong?

On the subject of downloads, TI documents online seem to indicate that the latest C6000 compiler is V7.6.x. I have 7.4.7 installed and both the app center and CCS through help->downloads indicate I have the latest version. Is there a new way of loading compiler updates?

Found https://www-a.ti.com/downloads/sds_support/TICodegenerationTools/download.htm#C6000 which has a download link for the C6000 v7.6.0 compiler. There is the following note, which maybe explains why CCS v6 wasn't offering installation of the V7.6.0 compiler:

The C6000 CGT v7.6.0 release is intended for MCSDK, OpenMP, and/or OpenCL project development. For new and existing general purpose C6000-based application development projects, we recommend the use of the latest available C6000 CGT v7.4.x release (v7.4.7 as of April 2014).

keystone simulators will show up in the App Center around next week. The rest of the simulators will not be available by default on the App Center. But v6 can be manually updated to have them. I'll provide more details later (when i get them)

Thanks

Rick, can you start a private conversation with me? Thanks.

Hi,

I am using KeyStone II, and by now I need the simulator support in the CCSv6.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thank you so much!

Ronny

Ronny - unfortunately we are no longer supporting simulators in CCS anymore. If you need a kystone simulator, please contact your local TI representative (sales or support). They may be able to provide some assistance.

Sorry.
