CCS/CCSTUDIO: CCS v9.1 installation

Priya Nadathur70
Expert 2795 points
Part Number: CCSTUDIO


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I tried switching up to CCSv9.1. As I understand, this is compatible with windows 10. The installation is not completing successfully. Other than windows firewall, I don't have any other antivirus on my laptop.

Please help me understand why the tm4c product cannot be identified?

Even with the blinky project, the tm4c product does not show up.

I have also zipped and attached the install logs.

My current IDE setup is broken until this problem is fixed. Please help.

Edited to add downloading tivaware from app center did not make a difference.

Thanks,

Priya

    Priya,

    The TM4C component is supported and correctly identified by CCSv9.1, therefore it may be a matter of discovering/adding the product to the RTSC category. 

    Check the page Product Installation and Selection below, which contains the procedure to add this. 

    https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_product-installation-selection.html 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    I need a pre-3.30 version of XDC tools for this project. Where can I get this?

    It is the first hit if you google for "XDSTools download"

    Would you mind providing some clarification about this? Did you update to CCSv9.1 through the Update notification or did you download CCS, wiped clean the old installation directory and installed the new version? This last method would fully explain why the existing Tivaware "disappeared" from your development environment. 

    The reason is that I see from the log that CCS install completed - there is an error at the very end, but I don't necessarily know what this entails.

    Thank you for your reply. I did not know there was a way to upgrade from

    ccsv7 to ccsv9 without re-installing. 

    I am currently working with ccsv8.

    Using the rediscover tools, I was able to get rid of the can't find tm4c error. However,

    with ccsv8, I am now getting can't find driverlib files error and can't find usblib files error

    as well. I have driverlib and usblib linked to the project directory. Any pointers on making 

    this go away is appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Priya

    I have now passed through compilation successfully by adding the correct links for include options.

    I am however not linking successfully. 

    In my past ccsv7 setup there was a variable called $COM_TI_TM4C_LIBRARY_PATH

    Is there an equivalent of this in ccsv8?

    I have these two paths in the file search path, but they don't work.

    ${TI_PRODUCTS_DIR}\TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.4.178\driverlib\ccs\Debug\driverlib.lib

    ${TI_PRODUCTS_DIR}\TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.4.178\usblib\ccs\Debug\usblib.lib

    Seems like the nightmare has ended. I added links to usblib.lib and drverlib.lib and the build completed. Thank you

    Priya,

    Thank you for reporting back your findings. Sometimes the paths for these complex projects can throw us for a loop. 

    Since you have CCSv9.1 now, please note it comes with a complete User's Guide on its built-in help (menu Help --> Contents) - this is also fully searchable.

    For these project settings, the section 6.1.2 that talks about working with projects may help you clear out any issues in the future. Also, section 6.1.2.7 talks about the process of sharing projects and working with the build variables (the TI_PRODUCTS_DIR shown in the paths you mentioned). 

    This User's Guide is also available online at the link below.

    Sorry, I thought you were coming from v8 or a prior v9 version. Apologize for the confusion.
