Compiler installation and selection in CCE v3

It appears that CCEv3 does not allow users to add/select newer versions of MSP430 codegen tools like we do in CCS v4, as documented in http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Compiler_Installation_and_Selection

In CCE3, under Window->Preferences->C/C++->TI Code Generation Tools, it does allow you to add and "Extended Code Generation Tools Discovery Path", however the new version is not "recognized". I have tried it and can't get it to work. It appears that this functionality is just not enabled in CCE3. Is there a setting or some way to enable this for users to use a newer version of CGT with CCE, or do they pretty much have to move to CCSv4 to avail of this functionality?

 

  • Aarti,

    CCE has the functionality but it probably doesn't recognize a more recent version of CGT.  For a particular version class (3.0.x or 3.1.x) CCS needs a build options plug-in.  It likely doesn't have the plug-in for the version you are trying to discover.

  • Thanks John. That must be it. I was trying to get it to recognize 3.2.x versions and it couldn't. I'll ask the customer to move to CCS4 if he needs to use these newer CGT versions.
