CCS/CC3200-LAUNCHXL: CCS Importing a project GNU 9.0 compiler not installed

Part Number: CC3200-LAUNCHXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

When importing any project at the final step when you click on finish it gives me an error GNU 9.0 compiler is not installed. Was trying to import an RTOS project from demo in simplelink_cc32xx_sdk.. and happens for other projects too. CCS version 10 and updated. On a side note the project does show up in the file explorer and all files seems to be present. The project is able to build too. Would like to know a fix and if this could cause a problem down the line.

  • Amiel,

    The latest SDK for cc32xx requires GCC9 which is newer than what ships with CCS.  If you install the SDK from Resource Explorer it should automatically detect this and install GCC9 for you.  If you have downloaded the SDK from ti.com then it will be necessary to download and install GCC9.

    You can do this in CCS by going to the App Center on the View menu.  Click on the view more button at the top right.

    Select the ARM GCC package:

    There should be 9.2.1 available.

  • That did not solve me problem. Attached is a screenshot of the exact problem. Followed the steps mentioned above.

    Arm GCC is upto date 

  • Looks like CCS is not detecting the GCC install automatically like it should.

    You can fix this by going to the preferences dialog from the Window menu.

    Navigate to here.

    Add the location of the GCC9 install.  It will be <your ccs install dir>/ccs/tools/compiler/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major

    Once I do that I can import fine.  I will look into why CCS did not detect GCC automatically like it usually does.

    Note that you can use Resource Explorer as an easier way to navigate and import the examples.

    Not sure if this is related, but with CCS 10.0.0.00010 plus CCStudio p2 Tool Feature 7.0.0.202001271514 after installing a compiler CCS does not automatically detect the compiler. I have to go to the preferences dialog for the compiler and use "Refresh" to cause CCS to detect the newly installed compiler.

    Whereas in previous CCS versions, CCS automatically detected the compiler after an install.

  • Chester,

    I think it is the same issue.  My adding a path triggered a refresh but I bet if I manually clicked refresh that would have worked too.  I just tried the same with a TI ARM compiler update and I had to manually click refresh.
