Not able to select already installed ARM Compiler 5.2.6

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

Hi,

I have ARM Compiler 5.2.6 installed. Why am I not able to select it at project properties?

Setup details:

CCSv9.20

BLE Stack 2.2.1

CC2650 Launchpad

  • If you look at the CCS Compiler Discovery is the ARM Compiler 5.2.6 shown as discovered?

    If not:

    1. Does using the Refresh button on menu Window → Preferences → Code Composer Studio → Build → Compilers discover the ARM Compiler 5.2.6?
    2. Is the directory in which ARM Compiler 5.2.6 is installed on the Tool Discovery Path?

    No.

    Its not where it should be at C:\ti\ccs920\ccs\tools\compiler

    But, if I go to "Installed Software" I can see the ARM Compiler 5.2.6. From the pic below is now 5.2.9 because I did an update.

    If you look at the C drive, can you find which directory the compiler has been installed in?

    The Code Composer Studio Installation Details dialog doesn't indicate which directory the products are installed in.

  • I did a search for "5.2.9" and found TMS470_5.2.9 located at "C:\ti\ccs920\ccs\eclipse\plugins". When I add this folder location to tool discovery path then click "Refresh" the ARM Compiler 5.2.9 does not appear "Discovered Tools".

    This situation is very annoying. Before I did not have this problem. Maybe after installing CCSv10.1 have contributed to this issue.

    The eclipse\plugins directory just contain the build definitions for CCS to use, and not the compiler itself.

    I have just remembered that previously reported CCS: CCS 9.2.0.00013 fails to run installer for TI ARM Compiler Tools 18.1.x for the same symptoms with CCS 9.2. Where the symptoms were the compiler was reported as installed in the Code Composer Studio Installation Details dialog as far as Eclipse was concerned, but the actual compiler hadn't been installed.

    Can you try the following workaround listed in the referenced post:

    Rafael said:
    As a workaround, you can simply run the installer that is correctly downloaded to the directory %CCS_INSTALL_DIR%/ccs/eclipse/downloads and point to the directory %CCS_INSTALL_DIR%/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_<version numbers>

  • That works. Thanks a lot.
