CCS/F28M36P63C2: how to decide the compiler version

Part Number: F28M36P63C2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am a beginner to the CCS platform. I have a few general queries i was hoping to find answers for,

1) What information do i need to select the compiler version? I am trying to run the blinky control example from the control suite. But i do not see any output when i flash and debug the code. My suspicion was maybe my compiler version choice was incorrect.

2) I was told i need to pay attention to cmd files, include path and linking path in my project configuration and that Sometimes when importing TI examples into my workspace, those paths may not be converted rightly. I was told that i need to look at where the files are and configure them in the project properties. How do i do this?

Appreciate any help or insight. Thanks

  • Hello Hao,

    1) Generally, it is recommended to use the latest version of the compiler. There are some exceptions to this (due to some project dependencies, etc). If your application is not working as expected, the issue usually is not with the compiler version but elsewhere

    2) It is true that you need to pay attention to your various paths after a project import. But usually any issues with such paths would impact the build it it sounds like you have not encountered any build issues.

    What CCS version are you using? Which device are you using? Which controlSUITE example did you import?

    Thanks

  • Hello ki,

    Thank you for your time. I am using version Version: 6.1.1.00022 . I am using the F28M36 Concerto device family, F28M36P63C2 and i was just trying to load the dual core blinky example. I didn't actually import the example. i followed the instructions on the geting started and trouble shooting chapter in the firmware development package user guide document. i followed all teir instructions and copy pasted the code they provided and when i build the m3 file i get errors.

    But when i actually import the example and build/debug the code. then i don't get any errors but i don't get the blinky output !! I am puzzled why this is happening?? any thouhts on that ki?

    Did you build and flash both the m3 and c28 blinky code on your concerto device? You would also need to run both cores to get the expected blinking behavior. Can you confirm that you indeed did this?

    Thanks
