how to recognize the CSS installed

I am new to the CCS environment and know hardly anything about TI's DSP Processor. Hence I tried dumping the code using MATLAB's C2000 embedded target toolbox. I have installed in my computer CCSv3.1, CCSv3.3 and CCSv4 with Matlab R2012a.

I have installed all the 3rd party tools required but cant still configure correctly.

when i run the configuration for CCS v4

checkEnvSetup('ccsv4','f2803x')

1. Checking CGT (Texas Instruments C2000 Code Generation Tools) version
   Required version: 5.2.1 to 5.2.3
   Required for : Code generation
   Your Version : 5.2.1
   ### Setting environment variable "C2000_CGT_INSTALLDIR" to "C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\C2000 Code Generation Tools 5.2.1"

2. Checking DSP/BIOS (Real Time Operating System) version
   Required version: 5.33.05 to 5.41.09.34
   Required for : Code generation
   Your Version : 5.33.05
   ### Setting environment variable "CCSV4_DSPBIOS_INSTALLDIR" to "C:\CCStudio_v3.3MCU\bios_5_33_05"

3. Checking XDC Tools (eXpress DSP Components) version
   Required version: 3.16.02.32 or later
   Required for : Code generation
   Your Version : 3.22.01.21

4. Checking CCS (Code Composer Studio) version
   Required version: 3.3.83.11
   Required for : Automation and Code Generation
   Your Version : 
   Incompatible version detected. CCS version does not satisfy product requirements!

5. Checking 2803x C/C++ Header Files version
   Required version: 1.21
   Required for : Code generation
   Your Version : 1.21
   ### Setting environment variable "DSP2803x_INSTALLDIR" to "C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\f2803x\v121"

6. Checking Flash Tools (TMS320F2803x Piccolo(TM) Flash API) version
   Required version: 1.00
   Required for : Flash Programming
   Your Version : 1.00
   ### Setting environment variable "FLASH_2803X_API_INSTALLDIR" to "C:\ti\Flash28_API\Flash2803x_API_V100_CCS3.3v"

in point 3 it does not recognize the latest CCS installed. And then when I run the configuration for CCS v3.3, it does not recognize the tools installed or CCS, even as shown previously, they are correctly installed.

1. Checking CGT (Texas Instruments C2000 Code Generation Tools) version
   Required version: 5.2.1
   Required for : Code generation
   Your Version : 
   Incompatible version detected. CGT version does not satisfy product requirements!

2. Checking DSP/BIOS (Real Time Operating System) version
   Required version: 5.33.05
   Required for : Real-Time Data Exchange (RTDX)
   Your Version : 
   Incompatible version detected. DSP/BIOS version does not satisfy product requirements!

3. Checking CCS (Code Composer Studio) version
   Required version: 3.3.83.11
   Required for : Automation and Code Generation
   Your Version : 3.1.0
   Incompatible version detected. CCS version does not satisfy product requirements!

4. Checking 2803x C/C++ Header Files version
   Required version: 1.21
   Required for : Code generation
   Your Version : 1.21
   ### Setting environment variable "DSP2803x_INSTALLDIR" to "C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\f2803x\v121"

5. Checking Flash Tools (TMS320F2803x Piccolo(TM) Flash API) version
   Required version: 1.00
   Required for : Flash Programming
   Your Version : 1.00
   ### Setting environment variable "FLASH_2803X_API_INSTALLDIR" to "C:\ti\Flash28_API\Flash2803x_API_V100_CCS3.3v"

Could anybody point me in the right direction please?

What version of MATLAB are you using? It looks like your version needs CCS v3.3. What about if you try: checkEnvSetup('ccs','f2803x','check')

[Walter Roberson]

R2012a is being used.

@Kaustubha I tried that one already, thats the second part of the question, but it didnt recognize neither CCS nor the tools.

Does anyone have an idea what to do?

[Kaustubha Govind]

Rafael: If you noticed, I changed the first argument to the function. That's what I meant for you to try.

I also had a hard time getting Matlab and Simulink to work with CCS. There is one good video that helped me start. I found it a bit long but it has all the steps needed, from installation to generating code for a simple Simulink model: It works for CCSv3.3 which is older but has automatic download and run from Matlab

The same video exists for CCSv4/5: http://youtu.be/7ed1NLD817s

I hope it helps.
