CCS/RM44L920: implemented SOLUTION provided above on CCS5.5 the new processor is showing up in the processor selection , but the Debug is not showing flash setting

Part Number: RM44L920
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

 

QUESTION 2 after implementing solution 1) :::

We Implemented Solution 1 provided below in CCS5.5 , the new processor RM44 is showing in the processor selection  , but the Debug does not show flash setting .

QUESTION 2) Is there any solution for RM44 flash setting to be showing in Debug menu of CCS 5.5  

 

 

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

QUESTION 1) :::

Due to the Project Requirements we want to Keep Using to CCS version 5.5 . We do not want to upgrade to later version of CCS .

CCS version 5.5 does not display RM44L920 procession in the Processor Variant Selection 

Is there any Method or Process or Script to add the RM44L920 to the CCS 5.5

SOLUTION TO QUESTION 1) 

Hello Chandre,

CCS 5.5 doesn't support some new devices such RM44Lx, and TMS570LS07x etc. You needs to copy the cmd file, and xml file from new CCS folder to CCS55 folder.

1. the linker cmd files are located in ccs_base\arm folder

2. flash related files are in ccs_base\hercules folder

3. gel files are in ccs_base\emulation\gel folder

If those files don't solve your problem, please check with CCS team at: 

Code Composer Studio™ forum

TI E2E support forums
Code Composer Studio™, debug probes, UniFlash, scripting, PinMux, TI C/C++ compilers, assemblers & linkers

Thanks and Regards,

  • Chandrashekhar,

    Please be aware that copying files around liek that would be an unsupported combination that has not been validated.  There may be all kinds of problems.

    The first thing I would do is to check for updates in CCSv5.5 to make sure that a device support update that has that device is not available.  You would also want to install any flashing related updates seen.  Unfortunately I do not have CCSv5.5 installed and I am not able to do so as I am running on a mac otherwise I would try this out myself.

    If there is no update available then the you could try copying in files but as noted that would be an unsupported environment. 

    The list of files listed is not sufficient to enable flashing on that device.  You would also need to copy the TMS570_RM44*.xml files from /ccs_base/DebugServer/propertyDB

    I have zipped up those files from a CCSv7 installation and attached them.  They control what is visible in the properties dialog.

    1778.Archive.zip

    You would also need the flash dll for Hercules from /ccs_base/DebugServer/bin.  I can't give you mine as it is for mac.   

    What version of CCS are you copying the files from? There is the chance that you would also need to copy the DebugServer dll as there may have been interface changes.  Thus the older the verison of CCS you are copying the files from the better.

    In short I really do not recommend this solution.

    Note that you can move to a newer CCS and still use the compiler from an older CCS.  i.e. upgrading CCS does not require you to upgrade the compiler.  The project specifies the compiler to use and you can point a newer version of CCS to where your old compiler is and then it will use it for projects that specify that version.

    Regards,

    John

  • Thanks for the Valuable Suggestions this helped us .

    we will be using Latest CCS 10 Version and Roll Back the ARM Compiler from 20.2.3   to ARM Compiler version 5.1.5 

    Installing Older Versions

    Eclipse allows updates only to the latest version of a feature that is currently installed. For example, if compiler version 16.9.6 was installed with CCS, you will not be able to install an older version with the same feature ID (16.9.0 through 16.9.5).

    To work around this, you could uninstall the 16.9.6 version and then install the 16.9.4 version.
    To uninstall, go to Help → About → Installation Details, select the desired version of Compiler Tools and click Uninstall.
    Note that this will just remove the eclipse feature and not the actual binary files so the physical compiler installation will still be there. It is simply a way to trick Eclipse into allowing you to install the older version. After the feature is uninstalled, find and install the desired older version as described in the Install New Features section.
