CCS/CCSTUDIO: UCD3138 Tutorial - Lab 1 not importing

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi E2E,

I'm working through the Digital Power Training Series.  I'm at section 2.3, 1 minute in.  The video says to import Lab 1 (from the firmware found here).  When I click "Finish" in the import window, it says;

"Issues that may require your attention were encountered while importing the project(s).

Reason: See details below:

Error: Import failed for project 'Lab_1' because its compiler definition is not available. The project does not appear to be a 'CCS Project'. Please try importing it through the 'General > Existing Projects into Workspace' wizard."

I tried importing through 'General > Existing projects into Workspace' wizard but it says, "Please use the 'Code Composer Studio > CCS Projects' wizard to import the project 'Lab_1'. which is where I started.

The firmware was downloaded today so it's not out of date.  I updated CCS today.  Please let me know your thoughts on next steps.

Thanks,

-Sam

    I should note, I'm running CCS7. My cube-mate does not experience this issue with CCS6.2

    I'll try to get CCS6.2 back while this issue is being resolved.

    Thanks,

    Update: CCS6.2 works! It does not have this issue on my computer. So I no longer have an issue, but someone might in the future.

    Thanks,

    Sam,

    Sorry about the delayed reply on this thread.

    First, thank you for reporting back that CCS 6.2 works fine with the training labs. Secondly, the reason the project import fails with CCSv7 is that CCSv7 does not have the required "compiler definition" for that project. Those labs were created with ARM compiler version 5.2.x, but this version is no longer installed by default with CCSv7 (it was installed with CCS 6.2 which is why that version works without any changes). For the project to import successfully in CCSv7, version 5.2.x of the compiler needs to be installed and discovered by CCS. You can install version 5.2.5 through CCS menu Help->Install New Software, in the "Work with:" drop-down, select "Code Generation Tools Updates", uncheck the box "Show only latest versions of available software", then select ARM compiler version 5.2.5 and follow the steps to install.

    Thank you for the detailed response! I'll definitely try that if CCS6.2 gives me any issues.

    Thanks again,
