Is CCS the only way to obtain ti_cgt_tms470

Hi, I want to know if there any posible way to obtain ti_cgt_tms470_4.6.6_setup_linux_x86.bin.


Im working with Yocto recipes for PandaBoard and constructing sysbios-rpmsg, I was able to construct tesla-dsp.bin for my DSP, but I can get Ducati because I depend on cgt_tms470 compiler for construction.


Is there any posible way to obtain the file without CCS.

If no, can I use CCS to get the compiler and them ship it as a package?


Regards

    The TMS470 compiler tools are not available on the compiler download page that contains the C6000 tools for instance, so you would need to update via CCS. You don't have to necessarily get updates to CCS itself, you can select and install just the compiler updates.

    Are you asking if you can extract the compiler from CCS and then redistribute to other users within your company or to your end customers?

    If you need to redistribute the compiler then we would need to get a redistribution agreement in place.

  • Hi, no, its not for redistribution, just for my own use.

    I'm not using CCS, I'm constructing my OS Image using Yocto build system, and I modify meta-ti layer to work with the Pandaboard and to take binary files from a space in my own FileSystem, because otherwise, recipes-ti from meta-ti layer doesn't construct properly the devtools needed (C6000 for example, you need to manually download it and locate it in a special place and modify the recipe).

    I already modify the cgt_tms470 recipe, but Im mising the binary file, so my construction systems fails.

    The final porpuse is to construct the tesla and Ducati for my Pandaboard using sysbios-rpmsg. tesla-dsp.bin is already constructed but the Ducati binary cant be constructed because Im missing the tms470 compiler.

    I dont want to use CCS because that mean I cant automatize the process and I will fill my construction environment with unnecessary packages and fixed locations. And the whole point is to create a automatic construction system.

  • Ok in that case you could use CCS to get the compiler and then just extract it.  You might want to keep a CCS image around on a machine so that you can use it to get updates to the compiler when they are available.

  • Hi John, thanks for the reply

    I will give it a try

    Thanks
