Code Composer v6.0

Does the installation of CC v6.0 remove the old version of code composer. I am currently using 3.3. Is the new version backward compatible with 3.3, i.e does it support the old Gel files ? In general what are the issues with upgrading or are there any ?

    James,

    Installing CCSv6 does not interfere (or uninstall) with CCSv3.3.

    You can import CCSv3.3 projects into CCSv6 on the project menu by using "Import Legacy CCS v3.3 Projects...". I've found that very complicated projects don't always migrate well, and you have some odds and ends that need cleaning up. Frankly, my suggestion would be to just create CCSv6 projects from scratch, and move your files in there. It tends to be cleaner that way.

    Some of the GEL file support has changed. The biggest one is that there is no longer a GEL_WatchAdd() function.

    Hope this helps.

    - David

    More information on how GEL works in CCSv6 vs v3 is documented here (including functions no longer supports);
