Issues after updating CCS from 4.2.1 to 4.2.4

Shahar Kinarti

Hi,

I just updated CCS from v4.2.1 to v4.2.4. Also, updated to latest CGT, Spectrum Digital updates, etc.

I initiated the update through Help-->Software-->Find and Install

After the update was finished I couldn't build any of the existing projects. I got the following message:

"This project was created for a device-variant that is not currently recognized: TMS320C55XX.TMS320VC5515. Please install the device-variant descriptor, or migrate the project to one of the supported device-variants. "

When I tried to go into CCS Build in Project Properties I got the following message: "The currently displayed page contains invalid values".

Any idea how to solve this without a complete uninstall of CCS (I don't want to have to separately download the full image of CCS 4.2.4 or downgrade to a version that clearly has problems) ?

Thanks,

Shahar

One addition - I tried to create a new workspace and import a working project into it. It didn't help.

Here's a screenshot:

It seems that the error message "TMS320C55XX.TMS320VC5515" shows because, for some reason, CCS 4.2.4 expects the following in ".cdtbuild" file:

instead of:

Which worked perfectly fine in previous version.

This means you have to manually edit ".cdtbuild" file for each old project. Why CCS doesn't do any automatic conversion of projects is a mystery to me.

CCS should handle this. It looks like a bug to me. I'll file one. Thanks for reporting this.

This wiki FAQ discusses the following CCS error:

"This project was created for a device-variant that is not currently recognized: TMS320C55XX.TMS320VC5515. Please install the device-variant descriptor, or migrate the project to one of the supported device-variants"
