TI Project Compiler

This extension provides a convenient way to compile Texas Instruments CCS (Code Composer Studio) projects directly within Visual Studio Code. It adds a custom view to the activity bar with buttons to build, clean, and rebuild your project.

Features

• Build Project: Compiles your CCS project.
• Clean Project: Cleans the build artifacts.
• Rebuild Project: Cleans and then rebuilds the entire project.
• Configurable gmake Path: You can set the full path to your gmake.exe in the VS Code settings, avoiding the need to modify system environment variables.

Requirements

You need to have a TI CCS project with a valid Makefile in the Debug directory of your workspace root.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• ti-project-compiler.gmakePath: Specifies the full path to the gmake.exe executable provided by CCS.
  • Example: D:\\ti\\ccs\\utils\\bin\\gmake.exe

How to Use

1. Install the extension.
2. Open your TI CCS project folder in VS Code.
3. Click on the Chip icon in the Activity Bar to open the "TI Project Compiler" view.
4. (If necessary) Configure the gmake path in VS Code settings (Ctrl + ,). Search for "TI Project Compiler".
5. Click on the desired task (Build, Clean, or Rebuild) in the view. The command will be executed in a new integrated terminal.

Enjoy!
