running a hello world application in CCSv5 c64x+ simulator.



Hello guys,

 

I'm trying to start working with CCSv5.1 for an application running in OMAP3 solution,

I understood that if I'm not using the JTAG I can work free with CCSv5.1,

so I've created a new CCS project, project type c6000,

in project settings I chose :

output type: executable,

device variant: generic c64x+ deivice

endianess: little (tried big too)

code generation toold: ti v 7.2.0

output format: eabi (tried coff too)

runtime support library: automatic

in project templates I chose basic example - hello world

but when I try to run my app I keep getting the message:

"License cannot be acquired...To be able to use any of the JTAG
debugging features of CCS you'll need a license"

any ideas?

 

thanks.

  • Motti,

    That error message needs some cleanup. The team is attempting to make them more clear in v5 but there are still some that are not great. 

    In CCS you can work with simulator for free but you still need a license, it is just a free license.

    If you go to the license options dialog there should be a button for using a free limited license.  Go to the help menu.  Select the licensing menu item.  In the dialog that opens you may need to click on the upgrade tab.  Click on activate a new license and click next.  After than it should give you the option to activate a free license.

    Regards,

    John

     

  • Thanks John!
