How to configure matlab to recognize TI C2000 hardware support tools

I have tried to install the TI hardware support software in order to write some code for a TMS320F28069 using Matlab but it doesn't recognize my compiler.

I used the steps described here: http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/162169-matlab-r2013b-integration-with-ccs-check-env-set-up

Also watched and followed the instructions on the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ed1NLD817s

I've used the targetupdater command and followed the instructions several times. I've used the xmakefilesetup and ensure everything is pointing to the right place. Every time I run the checkEnvSetup command I get the following results:

My system:

MCU TMS320F28069

Matlab R2013b

CCS v5.5.0

bios_5_42_01_09

TI CGT c2000 v5.2.15

perhaps I have the directories in the wrong place? where can I configure matlab to point to the right directory locations?

Thanks for your time and help

Kind regards.

Hi Luke,

You should point the 3rd party software directory to the location where library for the hardware is located. In this case the CCS folder.

Hi Peeyush and thanks for your reply, how do I do this? I am also getting an error when trying to validate the toolchain:

Simulink Preferences>Configuration Defaults>Code Generation>General Tab>Build process>Toolchain settings>Toolchain This option is set to: Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio v5 (2000)

When pressing "Validate..." I get this messages:

I am guessing this is a related issue?

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hi Luke, I am facing the same issues with my setup, I am using CCS V6. Did you manage to resolve your issues? If so then how did you go about resolving it. Many thanks, Ether

[ana hariss]

same problem here with CCS6 I also create a new toolchain for CCS6 based on CCS5 with xmakefilesetup but the model .slx config do not see it, it keeps asking for CSS5...
