Compiler/TMS570LC4357: Recommended SW Tools version for the TMS570LC4

Charles Obry said:

Is there know issues with using those versions(bug or performance issues) ?

For that information, see the Open Defects and Closed Defects information about the latest 5.2.x version of the ARM compiler on this compiler download page.

Where could I find a list of all the SW versions we should use for the TMS570LC4 ?

That same page shows more recent compiler versions for you to consider.  For help in choosing among them, please see the article Compiler Version Numbers and What They Mean.

Thanks and regards,

Hi George,

Thank you for the quick answer and for the links.

Just a few small questions:

I did'nt see information on the difference between CCS5.5 vs CCS6.0 and CCS 7.0. What is the advantage of changing to a newer.
(One important point for me would be the JTAG and debug performance and stability.)

Also, I would like detailed information about Runtime library rtsv7R4_T_be_v3D16_eabi.lib where could I find this ?

Does a version for the TMS570LC43 which uses a ARM "R5F" exist ?

Thanks and regards,
Charles

This forum is about TI compilers, and not CCS.  Thus, I lack the expertise to answer this question.  Have a look at the CCS Getting Started videos in the CCS Youtube channel link in my signature.  If that doesn't answer your question, then I recommend you start a new thread in the CCS forum.

The compiler RTS library contains startup routines, and standard C functions like strcpy.  It is described in the ARM compiler manual.
