building for unsupported Cortex device (TI CC2640R2)

[petrv]

Hi,

I would like to build embedded project for CC2640R2 Cortex MCU from TI. Unfortunately only CC3220 is supported by a BSP (which does not help me).  And yes, there is TI CCS but I really can’t stand Eclipse …

So, it is possible to create a standalone embedded project ? I tried to import an example (for IAR) from the CC2640R2 SDK – VisualGDB recognizes the IAR project file but then it asks to select a device (which is obviously not in the list).

So if it is possible, to build without specifying a device, just using the SDK files from TI ? (It is not clear how to create such a project with VisualGDB).

Alternatively, is it difficult to create a new BSP ? (for CC2640R2 and the LaunchPad XL dev kit) ? Is that something can can be done by a user (like me)  – if yes, is there a tutorial/guide ?

Thank you,

Hi,

No problem, we have a very detailed tutorial on creating custom projects that are not directly supported: https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/arm/legacy/

We have also open-sourced our tools for generating BSPs, so you can simply fork one of the similar BSP generators here: https://github.com/sysprogs/BSPTools/

Alternatively, we can do the necessary research and create a BSP based on your requirements as a part of our paid BSP program. Feel free to contact our sales if you would like to get a quote.
