Vissim Code Composer Studio Plug-in not installed

In the Embedded Controls Developer Users Guide v8.0 (EmbeddedControlsDeveloper_UGv80.pdf) under the section "Using the VisSim Code Composer Studio Plug-In" a procedure is described to "...create a [CCS] project that contains all the necessary files (.CMD, .LIB, and generated .C file from VisSim) to successfully build an .OUT file from the code composer environment."

The menu item to select in CCS v4, "Tools>VisSim>Create VisSim Project" doesn't exist in my CCS [Eclipse] installation.

Apparently, even though I installed CCS v4 first and then VisSim 8.0, the required CCS [Eclipse] plug-in never got installed.

Is there a way to post install plug-in, and why didn't it get installed correctly?

For CCS v4, you must add the generated C-file, linker .cmd file, libraries and preprocessor definitions by hand, but it's not hard. To do so, choose Project > Properties > C/C++ Build
For Piccolo, Delfino, and F280x, under C2000 Compiler add the following Predefined Symbols:
_DSP
_F28XX_
_F280X_

Under Include Options add the following to Add Dir to #include search path
"\vissim80\vsdk\include"
"\vissim80\cg\include"

Under C2000 Linker > File Search Path add the following to Include Library or command file as input:
"/vissim80/cg/lib/ii_F280X_fpu.lib"
or, if the target does not have hardware floating point unit:
"/vissim80/cg/lib/ii_F280X.lib"

Under C2000 Linker > File Search Path add the following to Add <dir> to library or command file as input:
"/vissim80/cg/lib"
"/vissim80/cg"

For linker .cmd file, add the proper file for your target from /vissim80/cg/lib. The .cmd file will have the name <target>lnk.cmd for RAM linkage and <target>Flnk.cmd for flash linkage. For example, the F28069 flash cmd file is called F28069Flnk.cmd.
