Specify the TI F280x installation folder

Hi,

I am trying to configure the TI F28069M LaunchPad with Simulink using the Hardware Setup tool. However, when I specify the directory for the TI F280x header files, I encounter the following error:

The folder, D:\ccs1270\v170, is not a TI F280x parent directory. Specify a folder that contains TI F280x Headers installation, otherwise compilation, build and generation of executable is not supported.

Steps I’ve Taken:

1. I installed Code Composer Studio (CCS) 12.7.0 in D:\ccs1270.
2. I installed the C280x/C2801x Header Files and Peripheral Examples in the folder D:\ccs1270\v170.
3. The v170 folder contains subfolders like DSP280x_headers, DSP280x_examples, DSP280x_common, etc.

Other directories I've also tried:

D:\ccs1270
D:\ccs1270\v170\DSP280x_headers

Questions:

1. Which specific directory should I provide in the Hardware Setup tool to resolve this error?
2. Is there a known issue with using a custom installation path for CCS or the C280x header files?
3. Should I install the C2000Ware package instead, and if so, how should it be configured for Simulink?

Thank you in advance for any guidance!

Hi Shuxuan,

The error you are facing is due to the path expected by the Hardware Setup tool is different from the path specified.

You can try the below steps:

• When you install the Code Composer Studio 12.7.0 from the TI website, it is by default downloaded in the path "C:\ti\ccs1270".
• And the installation folder path for TI F280x will be "C:\tidcs\c28\DSP280x\v170\".

Hi Shuxuan,

这个问题可能是一个小bug导致的，它只能自动识别"X:\tidcs\c28\DSP280x\v170\"，格式的路径，如果你安装的路径不是这个格式，那它就可能会报错，所以需要把它改成如上格式，这实际上也是安装库时安装文件路径的固定格式，当然盘符可以任意选择，不是一定要在c盘。
