Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIMAC, CC2650STK, CC2650

Hi all lucky people who have IAR at their disposal. I have CCS and there is no possibilty of getting my hands on the IAR.

This would help many new customers who are trying this out. Please help!

I'm developing for the CC2650STK. There is a BLE, Z and a TIMAC software stack out there. The IAR can run sample code for the BLE and TIMAC stack, while the CCS can only run BLE stack sample code as there is no TIMAC sample code available that is compiled as a project for CCS to open.

Can someone please send a screenshot of the TIMAC sample program in the IAR environment? I would like to just see the folder/directory (project explorer contents) list in the IAR so that I can reproduce this in CCS and hopefully get the sample running in CCS.

This is what the BLE stack sample looks like in CCS. Can someone please post an equivalent/similar screenshot of the TIMAC sample in the IAR?

The sample can be found in the following folder after downloading TIMAC 1.5.2.xxxxx:

The TIMAC software stack can be downloaded on the following link: http://www.ti.com/tool/timac

This would help many new customers who are trying this out. Please help!

I would just like to find out which include files, and all other files I need to put into a project to start developing on top of this MAC example.....

    Hi box,

    I downloaded the TIMAC software and I did a quick basic conversion of the IAR eww file to CCS project format using a little custom utility i wrote. It is not a complete conversion so the projects won't build as-is, but it should have (almost) all the source files needed and most of the build options (compiler/linker options) that it pulled from the IAR projects. You can use it as an example or baseline for your CCS projects you are trying to create. In some places, the utility tried to replace IAR specific files with CCS ones but not perfectly since the utility is generic.

    Attached are zips of two ccs projects - msa_cc2650 and cc2650stack.

    msa_cc2650.zip

    cc2650Stack.zip

    Extract ("Extract Here") msa_cc2650.zip to: .\timac_1_05_02_43299\Projects\mac\Sample\cc26xx_RTOS\CCS_Project

    Extract ("Extract Here") cc2650stack.zip to: .\timac_1_05_02_43299\Projects\mac\Stack\cc26xx_RTOS\Stack\CC2650

    Then import both projects into your CCS workspace

    Again, to be clear, these projects will NOT successfully build out of the box. It will require some additional hand tweaking. Source files, include paths, build variables, build options ans such will likely need to be tweaked. Some expertise with the SDK would be needed for this and I cannot help with this as I know very little about the TIMAC SDK. My intent is to simply get you started with a baseline for you to create your own CCS projects.

    Good luck!

    btw - if you rather just have screenshots of IAR EW environment, let me know.

    Are you able to download the free Kickstart, size-limited evaluation version of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM?

    [You will need to register with IAR and obtain a license for the size-limited evaluation]

    From memory the size-limited version allows you to open any IAR project and view the project structure / tool options, but you get an error if the size limit is exceed during the build.

    Thank you Ki-Soo Lee. Can you also please post the screen shots from the IAR EW environment please? The screen shots from the project explorer (like in CCS) and the screen shot of any settings windows, for example similar to the start window for the project setting in CCS? Thank you so much Ki-Soo Lee.

    Thank you Chester Gillon. However, I cannot download the IAR due to administrative issues.

    Attached is screenshots of IAR EW's equivalent of the Project Explorer:

    msa_cc2650 (note that unexpanded nodes under the source file just expand to generated object files from the compiler)

    cc2650stack (3 parts):

    Note that there are many many pages and tabs of various settings. If you really want to know all the IAR settings, all the information is in the project ewp file. It is an XML format so you can open it in an XML viewer for easier browsing. It is what I do when i want to look at the ewp project properties. It will be easier to work with that then a pile of screenshots (and probably better use of time).


    Also Chester's suggestion is a good one. You can use a trial version. If you place of work is blocking it for being used, you can always install it on a home PC or something similar.

    Good luck

    Thank you Ki-Soo Lee, your suggestion about the .ewp in XML is great. Thank you for posting the screen shots!

    Hi Box,
    Did you able to compile the TIMAC application and stack image through CCS ?. Me too facing the same issue. I have already purchased CCS. And i am now not willing again to invest in IAR workbench. If you found any solutions, please help me out.
