README.CCS file for CCS_5.1.1.00033-Sitara-ARM.tar.gz CCS_5.1.1.00033-Sitara-ARM.tar.gz is a separate download from www.ti.com that contains CCS v5.1.1.00033 with installer customizations for Sitara ARM customers. For some hardware platforms, this CCS installer is already provided on the SD Card that is provided with your TI Evaluation Board. If the CCS installer is present, the following files will be found in the START_HERE partition of the SD Card: CCS (folder containing CCS installer with plug-ins in extras folder) ccs_install.sh INSTRUCTIONS - GETTING THE CCS INSTALLER (IF NECCESSARY) 1. If the above files are present on the SD Card, there is no need to download the CCS_5.1.1.00033-Sitara-ARM.tar.gz installer file. When the SDK installer runs, if you check the "Install Code Composer" checkbox the CCS installer will be kicked off by the SDK installer as the last step. 2. If the above files are NOT present on the SD Card, download the CCS_5.1.1.00033-Sitara-ARM.tar.gz installer file. Assuming the file was downloaded to the ~/Downloads folder, enter the following commands to start the CCS installer: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cd ~/Downloads tar xzvf CCS_5.1.1.00033-Sitara-ARM.tar.gz cd CCS ./ccs_setup*.bin --setupfile ccs_installini.xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. When the CCSv5.1 installer runs you can greatly reduced the install time and installed disk space usage by taking the defaults as they appear in this CCS installer. a) On Installation Location dialog: Do NOT check "Add TI plug-ins into an existing Eclipse install" Take the default or browse to an installation folder. b) On Processor Support dialog: The Sitara ARM installer defaults to AMxx Cortex-A and ARM9 Processors. c) The Select Components dialog does not require anything to be selected. The SDK includes a linux GCC toolchain. TI Compiler tools are not required for the SDK. DSP/BIOS and SYS/BIOS are only for devices with DSP. d) JTAG emulator support defaults to none selected. For Sitara ARM-only devices, run-mode Linux application debugging using GDB is usually all that is needed. If additional components are needed later the installer can be rerun to add the new components to your installation. 4. To start CCSv5, click the Code Composer Studio v5 icon on the desktop. You will be prompted to specify a workspace folder.
