Downgrading Code composer studio code generation tool to 7.4

How can I use legacy COFF output format in latest CCS V5 or V6. I tried changing the preference to show all available options during update check. But it is not showing up. Is there any other method to do the same.

Another thing you could try is manually downloading the compiler from

http://software-dl.ti.com/codegen/non-esd/downloads/download.htm#C6000

Install it into one of the locations in your "Tool discovery path" (CCS > Window > Preferences > Code Composer Studio > Build Compilers), e.g. C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler, so the Install location would be C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\c6000_7.4.17

Restart CCS and it should automatically detect the new compiler as being available. Then for your projects that you want to convert, choose

properties > General > Main > Advanced settings > Compiler version > TI v7.4.17

and additionally

properties > General > Main > Advanced settings > Output format > legacy COFF
