CCS 5.5 can't see xdctools 3.25.3.72

Hi there,

I have this problem just on one computer, the others work fine. So CCS5.5 originally had xdctools 3.24.7.73 but when I added a GRACE project which was using xdctools 3.25.3.72 I had a error: 

xdc.tools.configuro: InternalError: ti.platforms.msp430: can't resolve name xdc.platform.IPlatform.peripherals

and also a message that I have to add a new version of xdctools. When I installed a required tool CCS could not recognize a new addition even if I pointed that this folder is a new XDCtools though the RTSC window. Read some stuff on forum trying to resolve the problem but it appears that only re-installing CCS can help out.

So are there any other options to get it worked? Just do not want to reinstall CSS, too much headache. 

Thank you

Stan

    Stan,

    I am not 100% sure what may be happening, but I wonder if CCS believes this component is already installed or something along the way became corrupt. I have experienced this myself in a distant past and here's what I did.

    Check section 7 of the page below and see if you find the existing RTSC/XDC version in the installed software list. If so, uninstall it following the instructions.
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Updating_CCSv6

    If the product is not on the list above, navigate to the directories below and search for the product named org.eclipse.rtsc.xdctools.product_<version_numbers>.

    ccsv6/eclipse/features - this directory contains a subdirectory for the tool
    ccsv6/eclipse/plugins - this directory contains both a subdirectory for the tool and a .jar file

    If the product exists there, it is possible the referencing was somehow corrupt. In this case, close CCS, delete the subdirectories and files, restart CCS and try to re-discover the product.

    Needless to say that be very careful what you delete from these directories. Any mistake may render your CCS install unusable.

    Apart from this I am afraid a reinstall may be possible.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael

    Hi Rafael,

    Thanks for the instruction. It did not help to me but I hope it will be quite useful for others.
