CCS: Can I download CCS3.3 for an old project?

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

To the experts:

We have an old project built under CCS3.3 that we need to edit. We tried porting it to CCS6, and it builds but does not run. We just need to make a minor tweak, so it would be much easier for us if we could download CCS3.3. I checked the wiki and found this message:

Code Composer Studio Version 3 Downloads

Full images for these releases are not available for download.

Is there a way we can get the installer for 3.3?

Thanks,

Lloyd

    Lloyd,

    What device are you using? Depending on the device I can send you a private message with a download link.

    John,

    We are using an old favorite, the TMS320F2812PGFA.

    Thanks,

    Ok, F2812 is fine. I will send you a friend request and then can send you a private message with a link to the 3.3 download.

    John,

    The install did not go well. Antivirus was turned off, firewall was turned off, user has administrator privilege, there are no spaces or foreign characters in the user name, and we used the default install directory it suggested. We tried it on a desktop and a laptop with exactly the same results.

    The screen grabs are fairly large, so I'll just give you the text in them:

    DevCon is unable to install the XDS560 driver (we use the XDS200 USB debugger just FYI, so we don't care about 560)

    Error 1920. Service 'drpkiont' (drpkiont) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    Warning! This installation of CCS Scripting v1.5 is configured to use ActiveState Perl v5.8. You will need to install ActiveState Perl v5.8 under C:\Program Files\ActivePerl58 folder to use CCS Scripting v.15.

    When we tried to start it up in spite of the error messages, we got this one:

    Windows detected that this program did not run correctly. To try and fix the problem, Windows has applied compatibility...

    and in front of that was this one:

    Error reading Code Composer Setup information. Code Composer may not have been correctly installed.

    Do you have any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Lloyd

    Lloyd,

    Those first 3 messages can be ignored. The last one is where things get dicey. CCSv3 stores its target setup information in the windows registry. The setup utility needs to be able to write to the registry and then CCS needs to be able to read from it. Do you get the same message if you run cc_setup.exe? I would try to setup both cc_setup and cc_app to run as admin and in compatibility mode for XP SP3.

    There is some more info here.

    Are you on Win7 or Win10?

    John,

    It still does not run.

    We have tried both WIn 7 and Win10 machines. In the past we have run CCS3.3 on a windows 7 machine with an XDS200, but we don't have that old installer.

    We were wondering if there's something specific to the XDS560 in this load? We are using an XDS200.

    Thanks,

    Lloyd

    Lloyd,

    I don't believe we have support for XDS200 until CCSv5.x. We released the XDS100 while we were still on CCSv3.3 but XDS200 was later. XDS200 was introduced in 2012 as far as I can recall.

    John,

    Didn't want you to think we dropped the ball on this question. The guy who is doing the installs is out sick for a few days. We'll get back with either a "we give up" or a success message. Thanks for your help on our project.

    No problem. I was trying to do another install on my side but my windows machine has some new lovely permissions on it that are preventing me from removing my old 3.3 install to be able to do a new one. Hopefully out IT can help me get past this.

    John,

    Sorry to say we gave up. We tried installing/removing multiple times on several machines, and we found an old installer that used to work, but to no avail. We are giving up. For now we have one old laptop running CCS3.3, and we will have to make do with that till we have time to find out why the old project that runs on 3.3 won't run on our newer CCS. Thanks for your time and help. I'm marking it resolved just to close it out.
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    Ok. Sorry to hear that. Let us know when you start the migration process. It will be a pretty big jump. There are some things we can do like configuring new CCS to use the older compiler that can help make it easier.
