Development Tool Versions for C2000 Support

Introduction

C2000 devices incorporate different features such as a floating-pointunit (FPU),Trigonometric math Unit(TMU)and Viterbi, Complex Math,CRC Unit (VCU) and Control Law Accelerator(CLA). These features impose their own requirements in terms of a specific Code Composer Studio(CCS)and Codegen tools versions. This application report lists the minimum tool versions required to develop applications targeting different features and devices. It also lists the device compatibility with DSP-BIOSand SYS/BIOS.

Code Composer Studio

Table1 lists the versions of Code Composer Studio that support different C28x devices. TI always recommends the latest release that supports the device.The table below shows the minimum tool version where support was introduced.In addition to consulting this table,always check for critical updates and bug fixes

Codegen Tools Versions

Table2 lists the versions TI Codegen Tools that support different C28x devices.TI always recommends the latest release that supports the device.The table below shows the minimum tool version where support was introduced.In addition to consulting this table,always check for critical updates and bugfixes. If you have CCS, the best way to obtain new compiler releases is by checking for updates within CCS. Because you have a CCS license, this method gives access to more compilers. For more information, refer C2000 code generation tools

Note

Note3: The Fixed-point 28x core is supported by all Codegen Tool versions. It is recommended that you check for updates and,if the development cycle allows,use the latest version.New features and bug fixes are continuously being added. Older compilers may not work well with new versions of Code Composer Studio.Likewise,newer versions of the compiler may not work well with CCS3.3.Codegen tool updates are separate from service releases or chip support packages

SYS/BIOS and DSP/BIOS Versions

Table3 lists the minimum versions of DSP/BIOSand SYS/BIOS that support different C28x devices.The recommended version is always the latest release that supports the device.In addition to consulting this table,always check for critical updates and bug fixes.

Note

  1. There was a critical C28x fix for FPU code in 5.33.03. SDOCM00050676 dispatcher for 2833x saves ‘RB’ register with interrupts enabled – can cause random app failure.

Note

  1. 5.33.06 Fixed:SDOCM00059875 Kernel Object View results in message “DSP/BIOS not initialized” on 2802x and 2803x devices.

Note

  1. ezdsp28335 users are recommended to use f28335 dsp bios.gel file supplied with CCSv4 to connect and load any BIOS example programs that require external memory.

Note

  1. 5.41.02.14:Earlier versions have a critical NMI race condition that was fixed in this patch.SDOCM0006432028x - NMI can cause race condition in BIOS5 kernel(small code window where you cannot return from NMI safely)

Note

  1. Support was added in 6.20,but significant enhancements were made in SYS/BIOS 6.32 to better support 28x devices.See SYS/BIOS for the 28x for more information.
