CCS uninstallation and installation process and problems encountered [Copy link]

Due to project requirements, the algorithm must be implemented on the multi-core DSP 6678 platform, and it is inevitable to come into contact with CCS. Previously, installing and uninstalling CCS on different computers was a painful process, and there were always some inexplicable errors. However, since the installation time was a bit long ago and the pictures were not saved, I can only describe it in words as much as possible to facilitate my recollection.

First, install CCS:

The installation package was passed down from my senior brother, so I didn't have to download it. First, copy the entire CCS folder containing the exe to the C drive (in fact, as long as the installation path is in the C drive, it must be installed in the C drive! The default ti folder is fine!), then find the installation file, Install CCS_setup_5.3.0.0009a.exe. The 5.3 version is installed here. Later, because the project program is not compatible with the higher version, the 5.1 version was reinstalled. I will talk about this later.
When installing, select custom and install according to the default settings. Then manually check the unselected options. You can also choose to check the options according to the project requirements. For insurance, I selected all here and proceed to the next step. Manually check the unselected options.
After installing CCS, copy the license file to /ccsv5/ccs_base/DebugServer/license, restart the computer, and then install the BIOS. According to the program requirements, I installed two BIOS: bios_mcsdk_02_01_02_06_setupwin32 and BIOS-MCSDK_2.1.2.5. After the installation is complete, you can restart the computer, enter CCS initialization, and import the project. After the installation is complete, the startup interface
pops up the configuration interface after the
installation is successful. The configuration interface pops up after the installation is successful.

Let's talk about uninstalling CCS
Since some inexplicable problems cannot be solved, you can only reinstall CCS! At this time, whether you can uninstall it cleanly is very important.

Manually go to the ti folder and open them one by one. If you can click uninstall, uninstall them manually;
and delete all folders related to CCS and ti.
In addition, you also need to delete the registry information, start - run - regedit - HKEY_LOCAL - MACHINE - SOFTWARE - TEXAS INSTRUMENTS - right-click and delete
; you can also use the software uninstall tool to clear the remnants.

Problems and considerations

Previously, there were always strange problems when installing CCS under dual systems (win 7 and win xp). Considering that the dual systems would affect it, I changed to a win7 computer and installed it successfully.
After successful installation, I imported the project, but there was an error after compiling. The error prompt showed that it was a memory allocation problem. I entered the Debug mode (switch between compile and debug mode in the upper right corner of the CCS interface) and allocated memory according to the environment configuration given in the program. The error here is because the program itself requires environment configuration first, and not all projects require memory allocation.
Other problems may arise during the debugging process. It may be that the cache has caused interference. You can clean it in the project and then debug; or go to the corresponding workspace to empty the folder, copy the program again, and import the existing project.
Note:
breakpoints need to be set before running, and breakpoints cannot be set during program execution;

When setting up the workspace Launcher, do not install it in a path that contains Chinese characters!

When installing CCS, be sure to disconnect from the Internet and turn off the anti-virus software!
During CCS debugging, you can view variable information in the upper right corner of Variables, or manually add variables in Expressions (Add new expression) to view type, value, Address and other information

You can set parameters in tool-graph-single graph to draw a graph, where the starting position is the name of the array being drawn.
