CCS: SimpleLink SDK v3.30 won't work on 32-bit Windows?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I just wanted to verify that SimpleLink SDK v3.30, which supports SYSCFG tooling, doesn't appear work on 32-bit Windows computers. Is that correct?

The SimpleLink SDK v3.30 release notes state that CCS v9.2 is a dependency. While the CCS v9.x notes indicate that it only runs on 64-bit Windows computers. Therefore, it appears that the latest revisions of the SimpleLink software are only supported on Windows 64-bit computers.

Personally, I'm not complaining about this. I just wanted to make sure we weren't mistaken in our conclusions that you really must be using 64-bit Windows to build SimpleLink code using SYSCFG.

Thanks,
Scott

  • Hi Scott,

    If you want to use SYSCFG you need to use CCS 9.2 which means 64-bit Windows machine (or x64 Linux/macOS).

    But if you have some project already without SYSCFG you can migrate to SDK 3.30 without any issues with 32bit CCS (e.g. 8.3.1). You need to use older version of XDCtools (e.g. 3.51.3.28) only.

    That is correct. You must use CCSv9.2 (or greater) to use SysConfig with the SimpleLink SDK v3.30 (or greater).  And, as you know, CCSv9.x will only run on a 64-bit OS.

    Jan is also correct that if you are not using SysConfig, then you can still use some of the older 32-bit based CCS version (like 8.3.1) with the 3.30 version of the SDK with your non-SysConfig projects

    Thanks
