CCS/CC2640R2F: Modify Project Properties on CCS Cloud Edition (e.g. ARM Compiler & ARM Linker)

Part Number: CC2640R2F
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way to change the default properties associated with a CCS project in CCS Cloud. I know you can do this in the desktop versions, although I don't seem to be able to do this by going to project -> properties on CCS Cloud. This simply shows a un-editable box with the current parameters in it.

I am trying to include files which are not in the default path, but this works within another project which was imported from the resource explorer (and thus, has different properties).

Thank you,

Andrew

  • Andrew,

    The Cloud version is very limited in this regard. It is not possible to change the build options used for the compiler. If the other project has the paths setup that you need then one thing you could try is to copy that project. You can right click (control click on Mac) on your project and select Duplicate from the context menu. This will create a copy of the project. You could then remove the old source files and add your own. The build options would match the one that you copied.

    Regards,

  • Hi John,

    Thank you for your quick reply. I have tried this as well, although, when I duplicate a project it appears as though I cannot build it or access the project properties windows.

    Additionally, when trying to download/import one of these projects into the offline CCS version 7.4, they appear to show up as merely folders, not buildable projects.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

  • Andrew,

    Can you let me know which project was imported from Resource Explorer. I can try copying it in my cloud workspace.

    As far as importing to CCS Desktop this will require you to have the CC2640R2 SimpleLInk SDK installed. All of those folders you see with the little arrows on them are just links to content that is inside the SDK. The easiest thing would be to open Resource Explorer inside CCS Desktop. From there you can install the SDK and then import any of the examples.

    Regards,
    John
  • John,

    Yes, I used the spimaster example for the CC2640R2 Launchpad.

    I will double check that I was not making a mistake with importing the project offline, but I definitely have that SDK installed (along with a few others).

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    I believe I see what you are seeing.  I import that example into CCS Cloud.  It builds fine.

    I then export it and the dependent TI RTOS project and import them into CCS Desktop.  The TI RTOS project fails to build even though I have the required SDK installed.

    As a quick workaround I did the following.  I deleted the TI RTOS project from my workspace.  I then imported another example (the empty one is fine) from Resource Explorer.  This then adds the TI RTOS project to my workspace and I can build my other project fine.

    I will try to track down why the TI RTOS project from the cloud is not working in desktop CCS.

    Regards,

    John

  • Thanks John.

    Additionally, I have a similar problem when duplicating projects in CCS Cloud (on CCS cloud), as they will not build.
  • Andrew,

    I can see that problem as well. Copying simple projects works find. However copying a project that has a dependent project, as is the case with a lot of the CC2640 examples, doesn't work. There is a defect tracking this : TICLD-2529
