Environment setup for CCS

Caution

⚙️ This procedure must always be done when using university lab computers.
These systems reset their configurations every time you log out, so you must reconfigure the environment each session.

Open the Compiler Preferences

1. In Code Composer Studio, go to:

   Window → Preferences → Code Composer Studio → Build → Compilers

2. You will see a list of available compiler paths.

Add the TivaWare Path

1. Click Add… and navigate to:

   C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295

2. Select the folder and click OK.
3. Then click Refresh — you should now see the TivaWare compiler resources appear in the list.

Verify Environment Variable

Ensure that the environment variable SW_ROOT is defined as String and points to:

C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295

You can verify or edit this under:

Window → Preferences → Code Composer Studio → Build → Variables

This variable is required by many projects to locate shared driver and graphics libraries.

---

Verify Perspective

1. In the top menu, go to:

   Window → Perspective → Other...

2. Select CCS Edit to switch to the correct perspective.
3. If your layout ever becomes misconfigured, reset it via:

   Window → Perspective → Reset Perspective

Once this configuration is complete, your environment is ready to build and debug projects using TivaWare support libraries.
