CCS/CC2650: How to export project to a computer with lower version compiler

Part Number: CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

My customer got a problem in importing project into CCS, and need your guidance to solve this problem. 

He has several ARM compiler in his computer, and the latest version is v17.6.0.STS. He exported the CCS project and tried to import it into CCS in another computer, whose latest compiler version is v16.9.3.LTS. A error occurs saying lack of compiler v17.6.

Then, He set the compiler to v16.9.3.LTS in his computer, and exported again. The same error occurs when he imported it in another computer with compiler v16.9.3.LTS.

it seems that if the highest version of the two computer is different, the project in the computer with higher version compiler can not be imported into the other computer. even the higher version compiler is not used but just exist.

Please guide a way to export project from CCS on a computer with higher version of compiler, and make it importable on another computer with lower version of compiler.

Or, please help to confirm the highest version of compiler MUST be the same to export/import project.

Thanks!

    Yes this is expected (and can be resolved by installing 17.6)

    This is NOT expected. This should work

    This should not be the case.I just tried this out in my environment with a CCS install that had 17.6 and 16.3. I created a project for 16.3 and then imported the project to another CCS install that has 16.3 as the highest version. It imported fine

    What you tried should just work.

    As mentioned earlier, this is not the case.

    Please zip and attach your project that exhibits the issue. All I need is a reproducible test case. The simpler the better - as long as the issue can be reproduced.

    Thanks

    CCS allows a different compiler version to be selected for each Configuration in the project.

    If the project has multiple Configurations (e.g. Debug and Release) worth checking that the compiler version has been changed for all Configurations.

  • There is always punting, which I have had to do with Visual Studio on occasion.

    Create a new project on the computer with the old compiler and just transfer the source files over.
  • thanks, the import works after i set both Debug and Release configurations.
