4 Toolchain: CGT, Compiler, Linker

Code Generation Tools for Texas Instruments Processors: Downloads

CCS comes with TI compilers already but each will have a fixed version.

The C6000 CGT v8.3 is a NEW compiler:

  • v8.3 supports C6400+, C6740, and C6600 in ELF EABI mode only
  • v8.3 supports the C++14 Standard ISO/IEC 14882:2014, while C++03 is no longer supported
  • C++ obj code generated by older compilers is not compatible with v8.0+ RTS obj libraries
  • v8.3 offers comparable performance to v7.4. Performance may vary based on the application
  • v7.4.x will continue to support (long-term) all processor variants in ELF EABI or COFF ABI mode

Customers should use CGT v8.3 if you are:

  • Developing new applications using OpenCL, OpenMP, or HPC-MCSDK
  • Developing new applications that utilize new compiler features only available in v8.0 and above (Native Vector Types, for example)

Customers should use CGT v7.4.x if you are:

  • Maintaining an existing code base that you do not want or need to transition to v8.3 in the near-term
  • Developing new applications or maintaining existing applications that use the COFF ABI
  • Developing new applications or maintaining existing applications on C6200, C6400, C6700, C6700+, or Tesla

You can use older version of the build tools with later versions of CCS.

The old version of compilers does not come with CCS; you have to install it separately. Either individually directly or you can install old versions directly from the CCS IDE: Installing New Software.
