CCS/TMS320F28075: Scripting the compiler chain selection

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I would like to manage the compiler used in CCS in configuration. But to do this, I need to automatically select this compiler located in my working directory in CCS. This will ensure that the compilation result will be always the same.

Is it possible to script the compiler selection under CCS with CCS scripting for example (debug server scripting or other...)?

Otherwise, I identified some configuration files (ccs.properties and com.ti.common.project.core.prefs) which I could patched to make sure to select the compiler I manage in configuration and not a compiler installed in the ti directory. Can I simply patch this two files to select the right compiler?

Thanks in advance

One option would be to create project configurations for each compiler. Projects can have multiple configurations; for example we often provide Debug and Release configurations for projects, for C2000 there are sometimes RAM and FLASH configurations.

Using this method you could have your Project A and then have a configuration Compiler1 and another Compiler2.

You can then use the command line build facility to build the specific configuration:

http://dev.ti.com/tirex/#/?link=Development%20Tools%2FIntegrated%20Development%20Environments%2FCode%20Composer%20Studio%2FProjects%20and%20Build%2FDocuments%2FUser's%20Guides%2FProjects%20-%20Command%20Line%20Build_Create

Note for this to work CCS has to be aware of each compiler you want to use. If they were installed via the update tool or install new software feature in CCS then they would have been added to the CCS installation and CCS will have discovered them. Similarly if they are installed in C:\ti CCS will have automatically discovered them. If they are located somewhere else then you can point CCS to the location in the preferences dialog.

Regards,

John
