CCS/CC3220S-LAUNCHXL: Using the ti/drivers in CCS7?

Part Number: CC3220S-LAUNCHXL


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I downloaded and installed the CC3220 SDK, (C:\ti\simplelink_cc32xx_sdk_1_50_00_06\source\ti\drivers), and I'm wondering how to go about using the drivers stuff.

It seems like all the other sources I can get imported into CCS7, but not these that are makefile based.

So, once I build a .a file, what do I do with it? How do I flash it?

Is there a way to bring these files into CCS7 and use with them the debugger?

    Looks like I was able to just "import" them and build them as a C project and I'll be able to use them OK. Sorry for the ignorant questions.

    Hi Karl,

    The TI drivers are not supported as CCS projects.
    If you make a change to the driver you should rebuild the library manually ("cd source\ti\drivers", "<XDCTOOLS_INSTALL_PATH>\gmake.exe") .
    The library binary ("drivers_cc32xx.aem4") is already linked with all the sample application (you'll need to link it to any application that uses it).
    Go to Project Properties->Build/Arm Linker/File Search Path/ and make sure the "drivers_cc32xx.aem4" is there.

    Br,

    Thank you, I'm making progress. I was able to build it with command line, but it didn't dawn on me that it's a library, thanks for info, I'm making some progress here.

    Also, I was just able to get it to build in CCS7 by adding XDCTOOLS_JAVA_HOME=c:\ti\ccs7\eclipse\jre under properties->C/C++ Build->Environment and adding to the path the c:\ti\ccs7\eclipse\jre\bin in properties->Resource->Linked Resources. It should be mentioned that I edited the makefile earlier and removed the gcc and iar compiler options from XDCARGS variable. The IAR seems to be installed in "c:\program files(x86)" and the parenthesis cause problems during the build.
