Is it possible to allow CCS 6.1.2 to use the GCC MSP430 beta compiler v5.2.1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

The GCC MSP430 beta compiler v5.2.1 was downloaded from http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSPGCC/4_00_00_900/index_FDS.html and the 6.1.2.00014 Windows -> Preferences -> Code Composer Studio -> Build -> Compilers was used to add the path for discovered tools.

The Discovered Tools window shows that GNU v5.2.1 has been discovered by CCS. However, there is a red cross next to "GNU v5.2.1 (Red Hat)" in the Discovered Tools with pop-up text which says "Support for this tool is not available. Please update your workbench with the latest tool definitions":

As a result, it is not possible to select use of the GNU v5.2.1 compiler in CCS projects.

Is there a CCS configuration file which can be modified to add support for the GNU v5.2.1 compiler, pending formal CCS support for the newer compiler?

    Chester,

    Please find attached a XML file that will fix the issue (unzip the attached file to extract MSP430_GNU_5.0.xml). This file will be included in the next CCS release.

    - In your local CCS install, find the directory that looks like this (your version might be different): \ccsv6\eclipse\plugins\com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.GNU_6.1.1.201512151800\resources\buildDefinitions\msp430\

    - Copy the attached file into that directory

    - Restart CCS

     Let us know if this fixes the issue.

    Thanks for the XML file. I added it to a CCS 6.1.2.00014 installation under Windows, and confirm that CCS then let me use the GCC MSP430 compiler v5.2.1 in a project.
