CCS: CCS addons installation

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

Currently if i want to add to CCS a new add on l for example NDK / SysBios,... i copy the entire package to the CCS folder and then when i start CCS it automatically detects the new software package and asks if i want to install it.

My question is - is there a way to direct CCS to another location as a search path for new packages and not only it's own folder and also is there a way to instruct CCS to use the package from it's original location instead of duplicating it into CCS foldr/subfolder (i.e if i have VISION SDK which comes with sysBios and NDK, i would like CCS to add and use these versions that came with the package and from the package's original folder)

Thanks

Guy

    Guy,

    CCS automatically discovers packages in a few locations but you can specify other locations for it to look.  

    Go to Window -> Preferences

    Then expand Code Composer Studio -> Products in the tree on the left.

    Here you can specify where to CCS should look for software products as well as see what it has found.

    Regards,

    John

    Hello,
    Thank you.

    It seems i was mistaken and indeed by giving CCS the discovery path it only updates internal index files with the location of the product.

    I have another question - regarding the discovery path windows - is there a way to give it a folder and tell it to search this folder and all its sub-folders instead of having to specify every sub folder (which also contains a desired product) separately?

    Thanks

    There is no way to specify the depth of the scan today.  We would definitely need to have that as otherwise there would be a big impact on performance.  Today in general I believe it is 2 levels we can but for some of the default paths it is a bit deeper (as we know certain products install by default deeper).

    I can file a request to make it configurable.
