CCS: Cannot import Example Project into CC-Studio 7.0.0.00042

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C123GXL, MSP430FR2311

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I've got the following problem:
I'm using CC-Studio 7.0.0.00042 and want to import an example Project for the "EK-TM4C123GXL" from the Resource Explorer, but I get the following error:
"Error importing project. Reso"

Any suggestions how I could solve this problem?

  • I'm also facing the same problem for MSP430FR2311......Can't import project. Also there is no option in the template section of new project wizard for creating empty project with driverLib source. Can't even import the example projects.
  • I'm having a similar issue with the MSP432 TI-RTOS example from version 2.20.00.06.
    Looking at the error, it appears the directory location that TI Resource Explorer is using to find the tirtos_msp43x_2_20_00_06 resources is incorrect.

    Error from project import:

    Error importing project. Location cannot be resolved: "c:/ti/tirtos_msp43x_2_20_00_06resources/msp_exp432P401RLaunchpad/driverExamples/tiDriverExamples/emptyExamples/com_ti_rtsc_tirtosmsp430_example_100.projectspec"!

    NOTE: The top folder for tirots_msp43x.x and resources are missing a '\' in between them so the path appears to be incorrect. However, it is interesting that is using the '/' like in Linux vs '\' as used in Windows.

    The actual path is:
    C:\ti\tirtos_msp43x_2_20_00_06\resources\msp_exp432P401RLaunchpad\driverExamples\tiDriverExamples\emptyExamples com_ti_rtsc_tirtosmsp430_example_100.projectspec

    Is there a way to correct this within CCS?

    Cheers,

    Jon
  • All,

    There were some issues with Resource Explorer that we fixed early last week. Please see this post and let us know if deleting the <users>/ti/tirex-localserver-3.0.0
    folder and restarting CCS helps address the error.

    There may a couple of different issues here. Between CCS 7.0.0 and 7.1.0, the default location for downloading packages from Resource Explorer changed from c:\ti\tirex-content to c:\ti. So if you are are using 7.0.0 and download a new package, it will install to c:\ti\tirex-content, but when trying to import a project it looks for it in c:\ti instead and throws an error. 

    To avoid confusion, I would suggest installing the latest 7.1.0 (build 16) from here (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS). It contains a few other bug fixes related to Resource Explorer and product discovery. Then download the desired software package from Resource Explorer (it should install to c:\ti). Make sure to delete the <users>/ti/tirex-localserver-3.0.0 directory if there is one, and then import projects using Resource Explorer. 

    Let us know if you continue to have issues with the latest CCS.

  • ArtiG,

    So, I downloaded and installed CCS 7.1.0 and attempted to import a project from TI Resource Explorer but I kept getting a message that I need to download and install it to the desktop. However, in the Resource Explorer window, I now have multiple listings of the Ti packages all under different Software folders rather than listed from the TI Package they came from. Each 'Software' is a duplicate thus they all have the same files.

  • oh YESSSSS! It did help.
    Thank you guys. You are awesome.

    Jon,

    I noticed some odd behavior earlier this morning but I tried again now and the packages in Resource Explorer look fine. Could you please try deleting the <users>/ti/tirex-localserver-3.0.0 folder and restarting CCS again? If the Resource Explorer view still looks off, could you please attach a screenshot?

  • AartiG,

       I ended up rebooting my PC and then starting CCS 7.1 again. After this, the issue with multiple software listings went away. 

       Due to having 6.x and 7.x CCS running on my system, I have 3 versions of the tirex-localserver folders:

    tirex-localserver

    tirex-localserver-3.0.0

    tirex-localserver-.3.1.3

    I noticed if I remove tirex-localserver-3.1.3 it is recreated when launching CCS 7.1. 

    Also, with the latest Simplelink downloads, they appear to install to C:\ti\tirex-content, so even though I have the latest installed on my systems, such as simplelink_msp432_sdk_1_20_00_45 which is listed under tirex-content, it does not show in the CCS 7.1 Resource Explorer screen.

    The odd thing is that with CCS 6.2 Resource Explorer acknowledges the new SimpleLink packages via "Installed Packages - > List of packages detected" but it does not seem to import these and only shows the older versions like in CCS7.1.     

    And, in the 6.2 Resource Explorer software tree, the individual installed packages are listed where as with CCS 7.1 it lists just 2 folders "Development Tools" and "Software". I'm assuming this was a recent changes as well.

    If the download was done with CCS 6.2 or 7.0, it will install to C:\ti\tirex-content. If the download is done with CCS 7.1.0, then it will install to c:\ti. There are some issues when mixing these two versions so my recommendation would be to download the packages again with 7.1.0 and use 7.1.0 to import and use the examples.

    Yes this was a change made along the way, when moving from the Resource Explorer Beta version to release version.

  • AartiG,

    Actually I installed the MSP43x SimpleLink SDK from the downloaded SDK which seems to place the files in C:\ti\tirex-content. All of the recent packages I have downloaded from the TI get placed in C:\ti\tirex-content.
