How to tell whether a TIREX package is installed in CCS?

The package manager gives no clue to differentiate the packages installed from those not installed.

The solution so far requires to check the contectual menu has an Install or Uninstall option.

I'm using:

TI Resource Explorer Version: 4.1.2+202001291209
Code Composer Studio Version: 9.3.0.00012

Thank you!

Olivier,

You can determine from the software tree in Resource Explorer which packages are installed. If there is a checkmark then it is installed locally. If the checkmark is green the package and any optional items are installed. If it is grey then an optional item (like simplelink academy) was not installed.

If there is a * then it means that you have that version installed but there is a newer version available.

The package manager is mainly used for controlling what is displayed in Resource Explorer.

You can:

hide packages
add multiple versions of packages (regardless if installed or not)
change the version shown
...

You can do most of that from the context menu on the tree as well but the package manager is just a quicker way of doing it.

There is nothing that I am aware of in Resource Explorer that will show you all versions of all packages that are installed locally. I think that may be what you are looking for. The best thing for that would be the products list in CCS:
