Compiler/CCSTUDIO-C2000: Backward compatibility of compiler versions

Part Number: CCSTUDIO-C2000

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

I have a project that was previously compiled with TI C2000 compiler version 17.6. When I try to import this project to CCS, I get an error saying the 17.6 compiler version is not available. I do not have 17.6 version installed. But I do have 17.9 version compiler installed in CCS.

Is this an expected error? Is there something I can do to import it and compile with the latest version. Right now, I am editing the .cproject file and replacing the 17.6 compiler version to 17.9. Is there a cleaner way to do this?

Thanks!

Are you experiencing the error discussed in the article Importing CCS Projects? If not, please show the exact text of the error message, or a screen shot, whichever is easier.

Thanks and regards,

Yes George.

This is the error message

It says version 17.6 is unavailable. But I have 17.9 installed. Shouldn't it convert to the latest version automatically?

To add, 17.6 was LTS version and the 17.9 version I have is STS version. Is this the reason?

Thanks,

Veena

Veena,

The wiki article that George referenced explains the reason for this error.

I suspect you are using CCS 7.4. If so, both 17.6 and 17.9 versions of the C2000 compiler are "newer" than the version that comes included in that CCS release. In this case, CCS is not yet aware of the newer versions, hence the exact compiler version (in your case 17.6) is required for CCS to be able to parse and import the project. Once the project is imported, then you can change the compiler setting to use 17.9 for the build.

Please refer to the steps in the article on how to install a specific compiler version.

Thank you! In fact the CCS version I am using is 7.3.
