Why Doesn't CCS Create startup_ccs.c Automatically

Geof Cohler

Hi,

For Stellaris parts, it appears that Code Composer Studio v4.1.2 requires a file startup_ccs.c in order to have a project build and run properly. 

If that is the case, then why not have CCS automatically create the file when you create a new project (as it does with the linker command file)?

Thanks very much.

Best regards,

Geof

    This is a fairly interesting question and I am interested in the answer myself. Have you found out anything on this topic? Maybe we can get someone in Ti interested???

    Geof, Jon,

    Although it would be very handy to automatically include the <startup_ccs.c> files in new projects created with CCS project wizard, the main reason why this is not done today is because they are part of different software packages. The <startup_ccs.c> files are part of the Stellarisware package, and CCS cannot assume that it is always installed in the default directory.

    This, added to the fact that creating a new Stellaris project is not necessarily straightforward because of the driver lib dependencies, makes me believe that most users would use the examples as a starting point and modify from there - in other words, if they create one from scratch, there is more work to do besides adding the <startup_ccs.c>.

    Unfortunately I am not an expert on the Stellaris devices, therefore someone else may have additional comments on this topic. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Can anyone suggest what to do be done for generating startup_ccs.c for a new project.
