CCS/CC1350: Getting Started with the TI CC1350 Toolchain

Michael Cress

Part Number: CC1350

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I don't believe this is a CCS issue, but I have no idea where else to post this.

I have spent a few HOURS trying to (unsuccessfully) get a basic project up and running within CCS. I have managed to get the empty_min project load and linked to the tirtos_builds release project and got the Launchpad LED to flash. Great. So now I want to write to the display, so I open the Display project and copy and paste the relevant source sections surrounding display init, etc. But now I get build errors about not being able to find the Display.h source file. I have attempted editing the source file paths manually, adding references to the "SimpleLink CC13x0 SDK" project and de-referencing the TI-RTOS for CC13XX and CC26XX project, just like the display reference project has. Clean and rebuild and now I get different issues.

From my perspective (new developer perspective), the CC1350 development experience is a frustrating mess. It seems that these example projects lack a unified vision for what a CC1350 project should look like. I have attempted several times to get started with projects using this environment and ultimately just give up and move on to other projects because I can't justify this level of trial-and-error experimentation. Would you please pass this feedback on to the documentation and source code sample teams to ask that they improve the new user experience by ensuring that all of the documentation and source projects reference an authoritative solution set to build from?

    Hi Michael,

    When you say you are opening the Display project, are you importing the display project from the SDK via CCS? If so, then you wouldn't have to edit any source file paths to make it compile. I understand your frustration, so I'm more than willing to help figure out what the problem is and how we can improve on this.

    I'd also like to hear what version of the CC13x0 SDK you are using.

    Hi Edvard,

    I have figured out the root cause for this. When choosing the 1350 Launchpad board option from the dropdown within Resource Explorer, it shows both CC1350 and 2650 example projects. This seemed reasonable due to some commentary on a different thread. However, I am told that the advice is old and irrelevant now and I should ignore the 2650 examples.

    Thank you,

    Michael
