CCS/SM320F2812: CCS v2.21.04 to CCS v7.4!

Part Number: SM320F2812
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F2812

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

We developed some years ago a motor drive based on TMS320F2812 with CCS v2.21.04.

Now we are developing new generation on TMSF28377 with CCS v7.4.

We need to make some minor change into the code of the old drive. So currently we use a virtual machine to Run a Windows XP under which the CCS v2.21 run.

Is possible to port the CCS 2.21 project to the new CCS easily or not?

Thank?

    Hello,
    That is quite a jump in tool versions. We do have a legacy project migration wizard, but that works best with CCSv3.3 projects - and even with that, there are usually some issues.

    Unless your CCSv2.2 project is a very simple one, the migration will likely not be very easy.

    My suggestion is to give the legacy project migration wizard a try and then fix the issues that result from it.

    Probably the biggest migration issue you will run into is if you are using DSP/BIOS. In CCSv2, the DSP/BIOS version was v4.x. That version is not supported in CCSv7. You will need at least DSP/BIOS 5.x. And even support that that version is limited.

    Another issue is the version of the compiler. If you are tied to the version that comes with CCSv2.2, then you may not be able to use it with CCSV7. See the below link for more details on supported compiler version:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Compiler_Installation_and_Selection

    Outside of those two above, the rest of the potential issues can vary greatly. The only way to find out is to try.

    Good luck!
