CCS/CCSTUDIO: F2811

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi Team,

We have a device with F2811.  We need to change the code.  It was originally compiled and linked with CCS 5.5. using compiler V6.1.  Now, we have CCS 8 with compiler 18.  When we spin the motor with the same old code but new compiler, we command 500 RPM, but the motor runs at 450 RPM.  We have traced down the difference to compiler versions.  Is there a way to download the old V6.1 compiler with the new CCS 8?

Thank you

  • Douglas,

    Yes it is possible to download the compiler that was bundled with CCSv5.5. CCSv5.5 bundled the 6.2 compiler but if you want the 6.1 compiler that is possible as well.

    You can actually do this from inside CCS. If you go to the Help menu and select "Install Code Generation Compiler Tools". In the dialog box that opens expand "TI Compiler Updates". You might want to type C2800 in the filter box to trim down the list. You can scroll down and select the 6.1 or 6.2 compiler for C2800.

    There is a video here that shows it as well. It uses the "Install New Software" menu item instead it is on an older version of CCS.

    Once you have installed the compiler you can change your project to use it:
