CC3200 Code Composer Studio: armcl not recognized

Hi Simone,

Do you have the armcl.exe file at location: C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_5.2.2/bin/ ?

Regards,
Gigi Joseph.

Yes, the exe file is present in the indicated path.
I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the CCS, but without success.

Simone Riccardi

Is there a specific CCS version for 64 bit Windows?

thanks,
Simone Riccardi

nobody can help me?

regards,
Simone

Hi Simone,

Apologies for the delayed response.
There isn't a different installer for 64 and 32 bit windows.

Are you able to build the example project provided in the SDK?

Regards,
Ankur

Hi Ankur,

no, I'm not able to build example projects.

I followed the CC3200-Getting_Started_Guide, but when I start with the build of the first project/library mentioned (i.e. simplelink) the error occurs. Also if I try to build the wlan_station project the same happens.

thanks for help,

Simone

Are you getting the same error as mentioned above while building the SDK example projects?

While installing the CCS did you make sure that the firewall is turned off during the installation (required when online installer is used)?

Regards,
Ankur

What do you mean with "SDK example projects"?
For example, the wlan_station project?
I tried this, and also other SDK projects, with the same error.

As regards the firewall I tried both online and offline installation, in both cases with the firewall turned off.

regards,
Simone

Hi Simone,

Yes, I am referring to examples provided in the SDK.

Can you please share you complete console logs while building the example provided in SDK?
I will suggest to first try and build the 'blinky' example.

Regards,
Ankur

Hi!

This is the complete console log while building the blinky example.

Unfortunately the error description is in italian, however the translation is the one provided in my first post.

thank you,

Simone

According to log in above post the CCS is looking for ARM compiler at ""C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_5.2.2/bin/armcl"" but the correct path should be "C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_5.2.2/bin/armcl"

Can you please share the image of your project properties showing the list of linked resources?
Project properties->Resources->Linked Resources

Regards,
Ankur

Do you have other version of compiler?
If yes, can you please try the later version. You can change the compiler from the 'General' section in project properties.

Regards,
Ankur

Hi,
i installed the ti-cgt-arm_5.2.4 from the app center, and selected it from the general properties, but the same error occurs. Of course the log now is related to this compiler:

Hi Simone,

I think this post is not related to CC3200, but to Code Composer Studio. I am moving this thread there. You will get better response there.

Regards,
Gigi Joseph.

Simone,

Could you try opening a command prompt, and typing the following:

C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_5.2.4/bin/armcl

If this also does not work then it could be related to permissions or something else not allowing the executables to run.

Hi!
Yes, the same error occurs even if I try to call the armcl from the command prompt.

Reagrds,
Simone

Simone Riccardi said:

Yes, the same error occurs even if I try to call the armcl from the command prompt.

In that case there must be some other issue with your system or installation. Are you able to run any .exe executable from within the CCS installation directory (there are some in C:\ti\ccsv6\utils\bin and other places). If not, then this is a broader issue than just not being able to run the compiler.

Hi,

for example if I try the gmake.exe it seems that it is recognised.

Il volume nell'unità C è OS

C:\ti\ccsv6\utils\bin>gmake.exe
gmake.exe: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

C:\ti\ccsv6\utils\bin>

As regards the previous attempt to run the armcl from the command prompt, if I open the command prompt and type the command line as you suggested to me, the error appears.

Instead it seems that I'm able to launch armcl with this different command:

C:\Users\Nier>cd C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_5.2.4\bin

C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_5.2.4\bin>armcl.exe

In this case a long list of options appears, so it seems that the command is recognised.

Regards,

Simone
