Guide to Importing Projects from C2000Ware into Code Composer Studio

Importing using the local installation:


The F2837xS header file examples are located in C2000Ware under the <C2000Ware Installation
Directory>\device_support\f2837xs\examples directory, and driver library examples are under the
<C2000Ware Installation Directory>\driverlib\f2837xs\examples directory. In order to import
an example project into Code Composer Studio (CCS), the following steps need to be followed:
1. On the CCS menu bar, select Project  Import CCS projects. The “Import CCS Eclipse Projects” window
will open, click on Browse next to the “Select search-directory” box.
2. In the “Select Search Directory” window, navigate to the following folder:
C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_<version>\device_support\f2837xs\examples. To import driverlib
examples, browse to C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_<version>\driverlib\f2837xs\examples.
Click on ‘Select Folder’.
3. The resulting window displays a list of discovered projects within the F2837xS/examples folder.
4. From this window, select the project(s) of your choice. Remember to unselect the “Copy projects into
workspace” box (but for driverlib projects, leave this box checked). Once completed, click the Finish button.
If the “Copy projects into workspace” is checked, the project is copied into the CCS workspace folder. Many
projects are structured such that the include files reside in a common folder and several projects can
use/reference the same set of common include files When projects are imported and copied to workspace, the
include folders are not necessarily copied. CCS handles the import since the project may still need to reference
resources whose paths are set up relative to the original project location.
Note: It is advisable to periodically clean CCS workspace as it could get corrupted over time. Before cleaning, if
there are workspace settings you’d like to preserve, you can save the current workspace settings so they can be
imported into the new workspace. Projects will have to be re-imported after cleaning the workspace
5. The selected project(s) should now be viewable in the “CCS Project Explorer” window.
6. You have now successfully imported an F2837xS example project into CCS.

Importing from TI Resource Explorer:

The recommended way to start a new project in Code Composer Studio IDE is to use an appropriate example from the TI
Resource Explorer and adapt it. The TI Resource Explorer makes all examples and documentation from the C2000ware
available inside Code Composer Studio IDE.

The TI Resource Explorer is available online at http://dev.ti.com/tirex/ and is also included in Code Composer Studio IDE
7.0 and above. In Code Composer Studio IDE, select View → Resource Explorer.

1. In the TI Resource Explorer included in CCS IDE , select your <device part number> in the search field to list only
the examples, documentation or content that applies to that device, so that you can more easily find an example
that suits you. Basic Empty CCS project examples, for example, are found in the hierarchy (see Figure 1).

2. Click on one of the example that you would like to import to Code Composer Studio IDE or navigate to. Basic
Driverlib examples, for example, are found in the hierarchy (see Figure 2).
3. Click one of the buttons in the top right corner (see Figure 2) to download the C2000ware and import the
example to Code Composer Studio IDE. When the C2000ware is already locally installed in the default location,
all examples are taken directly from the installed SDK.
4. Follow the steps as instructed to get the example imported into IDE.
5. After import, you can continue to compile or expand the example.

Building:
This section describes how to build an imported C2000 example project:
A project can have multiple build configurations. F2837xs example projects have the following configurations
 CPU1_RAM -> Indicates that the code runs from RAM, this is the default configuration
 CPU1_Flash -> Indicates that the code runs from Flash

1. To change the build configuration, select Project  Build Configuration  Manage. From this window,
select the configuration needed for the current build, or create a new one.
2. Once the build settings are configured, select a project(s) to build by clicking on the project. The project is
recognized as selected if the name is bolded with the word ‘Active’ next to it.
3. To build the project, select Project  Build Project. To build all the projects in the workspace, select
Project  Build All.
4. Notice the tools running in the console window. After the build is complete, a message will appear indicating the
build status for the selected project.
5. If the build failed, check the “Problems” window for errors. Resolve the errors and repeat the build process.
Verify that the project(s) has built successfully.
6. If no errors exist in the “Problems” window, the project is built and ready to be loaded and run.

Running:
This section describes how to download the code to the target board and run the program:
1. In the “CCS Edit” view, select Run  Debug.
2. If loading a program on to a dual-core device, a “Launching Debug Session” window will open. Select only CPU1
to load the program on (i.e. uncheck CPU2), and then click Ok.
3. Notice the “CCS Debug” icon in the upper right-hand corner indicates that the perspective has changed to the
“CCS Debug” view. After the program is loaded, the console window will indicate that the Memory Map
Initialization is complete. At this point, the program ran through the C-environment initialization routine and
stopped at main().
4. The source file containing main()will open with a blue arrow pointing to the first line of code to be executed.
The program has now been successfully loaded on to the target board and it is ready to run.
5. To execute the program, select Run  Resume.

Documentation:
1. All documentation for the C2000ware can be found in the C2000ware installation path in the docs folder. Open
c2000Ware_documentation.html from that folder and then navigate to the desired document / guide.

2. The C2000ware documents can also be viewed in the Resource explorer (see Figure 3).
