CCS Version 4.2.1 Issues

Paul Joseph
Expert 2785 points

 I’m having loads of trouble managing projects/workspaces in the new version of code composer studio (Version: 4.2.1). 

 I’m missing something fundamental about how the tool keeps projects separate.  I made some changes to what I thought was a new project and it ends up that I can’t go back to my previous environment.  I’m trying to create a project from scratch now and I think I’ve almost succeeded but I can’t make the correct calls to the hex2000 utility to make the binary image I need to download. 

So this last part (making a binary image from the “.out” file) is my most urgent problem – understanding how to properly use/configure this new tool is important but less urgent.

Please let me know.

    The hex2000 tool can be invoked as a post-build step in CCS. If you go to Project Build Properties->C/C++ Build->Build Steps tab, you can add a command to the Post-build step to call hex2000. The command line usage of hex2000 is documented in the C28x Assembly Language Tools Users Guide, Chapter 11.

    To simplify usage, we have added a couple of pre-defined commands. If you click on Apply Predefined Step, you get a dropdown list with the commands for creating a couple of hex images. You could select one of these and then modify the hex utility options to suit your needs for other hex output formats.

    For general CCS reference material, please take a look at the Wiki page on CCS4: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v4
    It has a getting started guide, topic discussing Eclipse concepts(which CCS is based on), several flash videos that demonstrate how to perform common tasks in CCS, and much more information.
