TM4c123GH6PM program from Visual studio

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hey at all,

I have to write a programm for my board. But the problem is I have to write it with visual studio or Qt because the computer where the microcontroller will be used has nothing else installed and a further  installation of ccs is not possible.

My programm works with ccs. But I can not really find out how to create a project with visual studio or Qt for the use on my board. Can anybody give me some instructions please ?

Regards,

Christian

    Unfortunately, no one from TI can help.  Our expertise is limited to CCS and related tools.

    Thanks and regards,

    Christian,

    Is there a reason you can't install CCS on the machine that has the MCU connected? You need something on that machine that can flash the MCU. That could be CCS or it could be UniFlash or something similar. VisualStudio and QT won't be able to do that.

    Hi John,

    the reason is that the MCU is connected to a computer from a measuring machine, on which a developement of a programm is not that good. Different people in the deprtment will have acces to thr MCU and it would be nice if not everybody has to install CCS on his computer.

    A simple programm to flas the MCU is available, but that needs a .bin file from the programm. With CCS this is located in the debug ordner, but if I worl with VS I there is no .bin file. So I don´t know if I can use an other file instead or if I have to do something else ?

    Christian,

    The output of VisualStudio will not be compatible with the MCU (in this case an ARM Cortex M4F ). The compiler/linker used needs to generate instructions that match with the architecture of the device. Thus anyone doing development to the point where they are going to be compiling the code is going to need CCS or an equivalent ARM development environment on their machine.

    I have seen setups where people write their C code in VisualStudio and then there is a team member who is responsible for the porting to the compiler for an embedded device. I don't think that will work in your case as it looks like people will be working individually.

    Regards,
