CCS/F28M35H52C: How to use a compiler after updating from app center

Part Number: F28M35H52C

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I used the App Center to install the most recent C2000 compiler (v18.1.1). When I go back to the App Center it says C2000 compiler up to date. When I go to my project properties I don't not see the new compiler version in the Tool Chain drop down. I only see my old compiler. How do I use the updated compiler in my project? Since I updated the compiler from the App store I thought I would see some new folder here

C:\ti\ccsv7\tools\compiler

for v18.1.1 but I don't.

Also, is there a way for me to download and use a specific version of a compiler? I got a project from a coworker and CCS gave me a warning saying I didn't have the compiler version (it was v17.6 whereas I have v16.9). Sure I can just use the compiler I have (or maybe the most recent compiler from App Center) but what if I want to use the same compiler as them?

Did you restart CCS? You need to restart for the new compiler to be picked up by CCS.

Yes I would expect to see it there also. I just did the update the same way and the folder "ti-cgt-c2000_18.1.1.LTS" showed up in .\ccsv7\tools\compiler

I wonder if something when wrong with the installation

Yes, see:

Thanks for the reply. I have restarted CCS. My installation details suggest that it did install, but I can't see the compiler I tried to download in my tool chain or in the compiler folder. Might be a firewall/network security related issue. Is there any way to download the compiler manually from the web instead of through CCS?

yes, you can get it from:

http://software-dl.ti.com/codegen/non-esd/downloads/download.htm#C2000

Don't get misled by the title where it says 17.x.x Releases. The first entry under that title is 18.1.1

Once downloaded and installed, the article below explains how to have it "discovered" by CCS:

Let me know how this goes.

Thanks
