Code Composer Studio is based on the Eclipse application framework anduses the Eclipse update manager for updates. This allows you to checkfor new versions of Code Composer Studio, compiler releases, new devicesupport as well as updates to other Eclipse plug-in packages that youhave installed.

When checking for updates Code Composer Studio will query a set ofupdate sites. Features and components typically have their own updatesite.

A new version of Code Composer Studio is released each quarter (4releases a year). Not all of the releases are available as updates. Ifthe first digit of the version has changed, such as 8.0, 9.0, 10.0… thenthat is a major release and is not available as an update. If only thesecond part of the version number changed then the release is availableas an update.

For example you can update from 8.0 to any 8.x release but not to a 9.xrelease.

4.3.1. Automatic¶

Download code composer studio 8

By default Code Composer Studio automatically checks for updates whenthe application is launched. If there are updates available anotification will appear at the bottom right corner of the screen.

The updates settings can be changed via the Preferences dialog. Openthis dialog by going to Windows → Preferences on the menu. Type“update” in the filter box to quickly find the update settings. SelectAutomatic Updates in the tree on the left to access the automaticupdates settings. Here you can disable the automatic update check,adjust when it runs, change the download settings and control the updatereminder notification.

4.3.2. Manually Checking for Updates¶

You can also manually initiate an update check. This is useful if youhave disabled the automatic update check or have not restarted CodeComposer Studio in a long time.

To initiate an update check go to Help → Check for Updates on themenu. This will parse all the pre-configured update sites and display alist of available updates.

Select the updates that you want to install and click the Nextbutton to continue. This will take you through the update process. Formany updates the actual installation of the update will occur when theupdate manager prompts you to restart Code Composer Studio.

It is also possible to restrict the update check to a specific updatesite. This method is described in the Installing New Softwaresection below. This method can be useful if you have a slow internetconnection or if you are interested in updating a specific component.

The Install New Software feature is used when a new feature orcomponent needs to be installed. Installing an plug-in to integrate aspecific source control tool would be considered a new feature. Howeversome releases of existing features are also considered new features. Forexample, if you have version 16.9.0 of the compiler installed you wouldsee 16.9.x releases as updates. However a 16.12.x or 17.x.x release ofthe compiler would be considered a new feature.

If you need to install support for a new device family that was notselected during initial Code Composer Studio installation then you willneed to use a different process which is described in the Changing theCode Composer StudioInstallationsection.

To install a new feature simply go to Help → Install New Software onthe menu. A screen like the one below will be shown.

This screen has several fields and options. The Work with: field isused to configure which update site will be checked for updates and newfeatures. You can select a site via the drop-down selection or manuallyenter the location of a site. The list of sites displayed in the dropdown is configured in the Preferences dialog. The Managing UpdateSites section describes how to manage theupdate sites.

Once an update site is selected Code Composer Studio will query the siteand then display the features and updates available on the site. Herethe Code Generation Tools (compilers) update site has been selected andall of the compiler releases and updates available are displayed.

You can use the filter box above the list to search for a specific item.This can be very useful if the list is long.

4.4.1. Showing all versions¶

By default only the latest version of a feature will be shown. Forexample in the list above you see the 16.9.2 release of the ARMCompiler. If you uncheck the box labelled Show only the latestversions of available software then you also see the 16.9.0 and 16.9.1releases.

4.4.2. Display items that are installed¶

If you uncheck the box Hide items that are already installed thenyou will also see the versions of features that you have installed. Theicons for these items will be grey to reflect that they are alreadyinstalled. Unchecking this box can be useful if you want to see theversion you have and be able to quickly tell what the latest update forthat version is.

4.4.3. Target environment¶

The Show only software applicable to the target environment controlswhich host environment packages of an item are shown. For example anupdate may have different packages for Windows, Linux or MacOS.Unchecking the box will show all packages that are on the update site.For some features there are separate update sites for each hostenvironment. In that case the checkbox will have no impact.

4.4.4. Icons¶

indicates that this version of the feature is already installed
indicates that this item is an update to an existing feature
indicates that this is a new feature to be installed

If your computer resides behind a firewall you may have to configure theproxy settings so that Code Composer Studio can access update sites. Bydefault Code Composer Studio attempts to use the proxy configuration setby the operating system. However in some cases the proxy settings needto be set manually.

To configure the proxy settings go to Windows → Preferences on themenu. Type Proxy in the filter box and then select NetworkConnections in the tree on the left.

There are 3 options for the Active Provider.

  • Native Uses the proxy configurations set by the operating system.
  • Direct Bypasses any proxy configurations set by the operating system and connects directly to the internet.
  • Manual Bypasses any proxy configurations set by the operating system and uses the settings at the bottom of this dialog.

4.5.1. Manual Configuration¶

In the box Proxy entries fill in the proxy settings of your network.You may need to contact your system administrator to gather thatinformation. In the box Proxy bypass fill in the hosts that do notneed a proxy to be accessed. Basically any host on the company’sintranet.

In rare cases the settings above may not be working correctly. In thiscase, you can edit the file ccstudio.ini at /ccsv[x]/eclipse(/ccsv[x]/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse for MacOS) and add thefollowing entries immediately after the first line:

  • Replace 192.168.1.1 with the correct IP address of your proxy server
  • Replace 8080 with the correct TCP port of your proxy server
  • (optional) Replace mydomain/myusername with the correct proxy credentials
  • (optional) Replace mypassword with the proxy server password
  • (optional) In the entry Dhttp.nonProxyHosts, you can add as many entries or domains as you need, provided they are separated by the OR operand (the vertical bar |)

You can manage the update sites that are searched during an updatecheck. This allows you to both add sites of your choosing, as well asremove repositories that have become unavailable or are simply notnecessary.

To have access to the update site manager go to menu Windows → Preferences → Install/Update → Available Software Sites.

4.6.1. Adding a site¶

Click the Add button.

Depending on the type of update site the actions to perform vary.

  • Server on the internet: provide both a name for the site and theurl of the site. This is the most common way to add new repositoriesprovided either by TI or by other third parties.
  • Local repository: provide a name for the site. Click the Localbutton and browse to the directory where the local repository isplaced. To be properly recognized as a repository, this directoryusually has subdirectories named binary, features and plugins.
  • Patch: click on Archive and browse to the .zip or .jarfile downloaded from the internet. Similarly as above, to be properlyrecognized as a patch, the .zip or .jar file usually hassubdirectories named binary, features and plugins.

4.6.2. Other actions¶

  • Edit allows editing an existing update site. The procedure isidentical as adding an update site.
  • Remove removes the update site from the list. Cannot be undone.
  • Reload reloads the information from the update site. For remotesites (servers on the internet), an internet connection is required.
  • Enable/Disable toggles if the update site is used.
  • Import imports a list of update sites in XML format. Useful insome instances where Code Composer Studio loses its update siteinformation.
  • Export exports the current set of update sites to an XML file.

Some actions are not available through the update manager. For exampleif you need to add support for a new processor family that was notpreviously installed, or add support for a different debug probe, youwill have to run the Code Composer Studio installer to perform thisaction. This does not mean that you have to completely re-install CodeComposer Studio.
