CCS/AM5728: missing DSP option

Rob Barton
Expert 2220 points

Part Number: AM5728

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear TI,

Why does the Linux code composer not allow you to select the DSP?  how can I create a DSP project in Linux?  I can do this in windows?

    Hi,

    Which CCS version is this? If you selected the Sitara device family while installing CCS, the C6000 Compiler as well as the full support should have been installed.

    One detail that may be happening is the lack of a suitable compiler. Can you check if the C6000 compiler was installed? To find out, check:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Compiler_Installation_and_Selection

    You can add compilers to your CCS install by following the procedure shown at the following reference:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Updating_CCSv6

    At any rate, the install may have done something wrong. Would you mind zipping the contents of the ccs install directory/install_logs and attach to this thread?

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael

    When I look at what software/compilers are installed, (the first link) it does not show the DSP compiler, however, in the listed directories above the compilers that it lists, the DSP compiler directory is present...  but it's not picking up that it's there for some reason.

    In the 2nd link you refer to getting updates, but how can I just tell it that the compiler is there locally, when I point to it it complains that it's not a site.

    The company wishes to 'control' which version is being used in the build, so it's only updated when we have tested the released software with a particular version, as such I don't want to have any automatic updates, I just want to use the supplied version which is tracked by us as to what version has been tested with our software.

    Thanks.

    That may indicate an incomplete install or inaccessible directory that prevents CCS from properly acknowledging the tool. From a terminal I would inspect permissions and, if the ccsv8/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-c6000_8.2.2/bin/cl6x executable works fine (you can issue ./cl6x -version).

    To know which components are installed, check the menu Help → About Code Composer Studio → Installation Details and look for the C6000 Compiler

    The issue with the site itself may be due to proxy or other restrictions to prevent the updates from taking place. 

    Also, as I asked before, the versions of CCS and the OS and the install logs could also help in finding out if something went wrong during install. 

    Hope this helps,
