CCS/TMS320F28027: Avoid CCS creating ti folder

Part Number: TMS320F28027
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello, I have a well structured files and folders arrangements in my notebook (Linux /Ubuntu). After installing CCS, it always create a ti folder in my home directory.

~/ti

I've searched inside CCS for preferences but I'm not able to change the location where CCS create this temporary folder.

I hope someone can help me to find it!

  • Hi,

    I am afraid there is not a way to completely remove the ~/ti dependency from CCS, but I know two configurable places where CCS configures parameters that drop files in this directory:
    - menu Window --> Preferences --> Code Composer Studio --> Debug --> Shared Target Configuration Directory
    - in the file ccsv7/eclipse/ccstudio.ini there is the parameter -XX:ErrorFile

    I will reply to this thread if I find additional references to this directory.

    Regards,
    Rafael
  • Thank you desouza!

    In fact:

    - menu Window --> Preferences --> Code Composer Studio --> Debug --> Shared Target Configuration Directory

    I've changed already and the ini file only define the hidden flder ~/.ti.

    I hope we can find a solution.

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately I could not change all parameters to remove it from the ~/ti.

    An additional one that could be changed is:
    - file ccsv7/tirex/ti-rex-core/config/app_localserver.json - this changes several directories of the online TI Resource Explorer

    If I did not miss anything else, the only detail is a subdirectory called CCSExternalReferences that is created during install, but I could not find where it is referenced.

    Just keep in mind that I did not test all these modifications and therefore no warranties are expressed or implied by these instructions; change these files at your own risk and be mindful these may render your copy of CCS unusable.

    Regards,
