RE: Choice of compiler for MSP432

Thanks Aaron

 

My problem is just installing it. I am running Windows 7 and downloaded the 32 bit version (64 bit does not seem to be available). I cannot get the TI resource Explorer to be present for some reason. I installed it to the default location. 

 

I am just now trying to clear out any past versions or MSPware and see if this helps.

I've had very few problems with the CCS for MSP432. I have, however, had nothing but headache from IAR and the launchpad JTAG tool. Apparently the TI drivers are less than wonderful according to the tech support folks at IAR. They recommend using a stand alone JTAG tool for IAR with the 432 launchpad, which drove my decision to use CCS.  I really hated CCS in the past, so it has been a pleasant surprise to see it work well. The fit and finish seem to be improved since my last time using it a few years ago. I have had no problems with installation on Win7 pro 64.
HTH,

Can anyone tell me what choices for a C compiler there are with the new MSP432? I have tried CCS6 but am having problems installing it. IT seems that I am not the only one. 

 

Thanks
