LAUNCHCC3220MODASF: SDK 7.10 and the CCS Compiler ti-cgt-arm

Roman Jordan
Expert 1945 points
Part Number: LAUNCHCC3220MODASF

Tool/software:

Hi all,

the dependencies section in <sdk-install>\simplelink_cc32xx_sdk_7_10_00_13/release_notes_simplelink_cc32xx_sdk_7_10_00_13.html states that the SDK has been validated with a TI-Clang 20.2.7 LTS.
I think this is a mistake because the version number is for the TI CGT C compiler, e.g. ti-cgt-arm_20.2.7.LTS.
Not for the TI CLANG.
Correct me if I am wrong.



Regardless of this fact, I would like to know:
Can I use SDK 7.10 with TI CCS ti-cgt-arm compiler and TI RTOS 6 to update the SDK related components of an already existing project using an older SDK version?

What is the future of the TI CCS ti-cgt-arm compiler?
Can it be used with SDK 7.10.
I ask because there ar no CCS compiler samples in the Ressource Exploerer view of the SDK 7.10.

Maybe a TI employee is reading this and who can tell me:
How long will further bug fixes in the SDK will be available or usable for projects with TI RTOS 6 and the TI CCS ti-cgt-arm compiler?


Many thanks and best regards,
Roman

    Hi Roman,

    We have assigned this to one of our CC32xx experts. They will get back to you beginning of next week.

    Hi,

    You are right that it is not the TI Clang as its numbering is 2.x and up.

    Basically, the trend is to move to TI Clang (llvm based) which has started on CCS 10.4 as there are many benefits with this compiler (like code size reduction and compile time reduction). The arm cgt (v20.x) is LTS but it says on the RN that it will be supported for roughly 2 years with periodic bug fix updates.

    As for the examples, SDK 7.10 does include examples with arm cgt. I am using the offline SDK and imported the network_terminal example. The default compiler is arm cgt 20.2.7.

    For further information, the CCS team would be able to assist.

    Regards,

    Shlomi

    Hello Shlomi,

    thanks for your answer and the information.

    My SDK 7.10 installation doesn't contain a network_terminal example for the arm cgt. Did I forgot to enable an optional installation item?

    Best regards,
    Roman

    sorry for the confusion, I have a workspace for SDK 7.10 but this specific example is taken from SDK 6.10 which had arm cgt toolchain.
