GCC4.8.4 for CCS 6.1

Damian,

There is a different update site for the GCC releases ("GCC ARM Compiler Tools Updates"). However I just checked and I don't see 4.8.4 on it when I do a search. I believe we bundled 4.8.4 with CCSv6.1.1 so we should have it somewhere that can be accessed. I will check around and come back with a link.

Hi John,

Damian,

I have had some luck, but of the mixed variety.

If you add the following update site it will find the 4.8 compiler:  http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/gcc_arm/4.8

However in order for it to be able to install the 4.8 compiler this way you have to first uninstall the 4.9 compiler otherwise you run into an issue where the Eclipse environment complains that there is already a newer version of the feature installed.  You can uninstall by going to Help -> Installation Details and then select the existing ARM GCC 4.9 feature and click on the uninstall button.  Restart CCS when prompted and then go to Help -> Install New Software and enter the update site above.

If I do this then I can select the 4.8.4 GCC compiler in the project.  It also still lets me select the 4.9 compiler as uninstalling the feature only uninstalled the Eclipse feature and not the binaries.

So it is a bit messy of a solution but it seems to work.

John

Hi John,

I have no option to download 4.8.4 or 4.9. I can only download 4.8.0. Just take a look:

If I change the download site to

software-dl.ti.com/.../

then im able to download 4.7 but nothing else

Any ideas?

Regards

Damian

CCS figures out the version by running gcc --dumpversion

For the tool above that returns 4.8.4
