CCS 6.2 will not import 6.1 MSP430 project because compiler is not installed. REALLY?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2755, CCSTUDIO

I have been working on getting CCS working all day.

See my previous post that got me to this point:

e2e.ti.com/.../559400

Now I have 6.1 uninstalled and 6.2 installed.

I attempted to import a simple MSP430G2755 project but got an error because the compiler is not installed. Apparently, 6.1 used an older compiler (or that is what I had installed before). So, rather than import the project and give me a warning, or set the effective compiler version, it just refuses to import.

This is ridiculous !

So, OK, it wants compiler version 16.9. However, looking in App Center and Install New Software, I do not see it.

Where do I get it?

Why doesn't CCS just import it and let change the compiler version if I want or can?


===============================================

Here is the error message:

-----------------------------------------------

See details below.

Error: Import failed for project 'FLoopTxIRead' because its compiler definition is not available.

Please install the MSP430v16.9 compiler before importing this project - click

'View > CCS App Center' to check if compiler updates are available,

or install the compiler manually and register it with CCS through '

Preferences > CCS > Build > Compilers'.
-----------------------------------------------


Regards,

Jim

    The Importing CCS Projects WIki page explains the condition under which CCS will report an “Error: Import failed for project 'abc' because its compiler definition is not available”. Please install the X.Y.Z compiler before importing this project…” error upon import.

    Does Help -> Check for Updates offer to install MSP430 compiler 16.9.0 ?

    If you look under Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites is there an entry for "Code Generation Tools Updates" with a location of "dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2win32" ?

    Jim,

    In CCS 6.2, you should be able to install the 16.9.0 compiler using Help->Install New Software and selecting Code Generation Tools from the drop-down list.

    Can you attach a screenshot of which versions are visible within this menu in your CCS?

    Chester,
    I did find the compiler from using your screen shot. The Wiki link cleared up some confusion too.
    Thanks,
    Jim
