CCS: CCS v8 JRE path problem

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear all TI Engineers,

I am very happy with TI products` development tools such as CCS, GUI Composer, Project Zero etc.

This time, my question is quite simple.  How do we change the default Java JRE path of CCS to an alternative JRE path outside CCS?  Thank you  ^^

I raise this question because my Windows OS and its system JRE reside on a solid state drive while I have installed a huge CCS on a separate hard drive.  I configure every program, which needs JRE, runs my system JRE on the SSD drive so that the program can start faster.

  • Hi Tim,
    As you know, CCS comes with a JRE and will use that by default. We really do recommend people use this JRE since CCS has been tested with it and this is the environment we officially support. But if you wish to use your own JRE with CCS, simply delete (or rename) the 'jre' folder in <CCS INSTALL DIR>\ccsv[x]\eclipse. If CCS can't find that folder, it will default to the system JRE (JAVA_HOME). Note that CCSv8 (and earlier) on Windows requires a 32-bit JRE. Starting with the upcoming CCSv9, a 64-bit JRE will be required.

    Thanks

  • Lee, very nice. Thank you.

    I feel that CCS starts faster now.
