CCS/MSP432P401R: Import Example Error

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

When Importing example using Resource Explorer "Error importing project. Device-id "Cortex M.MSP432P401R" is not recognized!"

  • I have solved this problem. I downloaded MAP432Ware and installed on my computer. When CCS (6.2) started it detected the new items and I clicked to install then restart CCS. All is well now. Very BAD error message!!
  • Well it is NOT resolved. First time it looked like it worked but the example project would not build.
    Help. Please
  • Tom,

    This error is commonly seen when support for the device is not installed, so the first question would be whether you selected the MSP432 family of devices when initially installing CCS. If not, you can re-run the CCS installer and add the MSP432 device support.

    Please see these two related threads:

  • Thanks but that is not the problem as I can create a new project for the MSP432P401R and have a couple of projects working already.

  • Is the error now seen at import time or build time?

    If import time, please let us know which specific example in Resource Explorer you are importing and if possible, a screenshot of the error.
    If the error is at build time, please save the complete output seen in the CCS build console to a text file and attach the file here.
  • The error message occurs when I try to "Import to IDE" i.e. left click on the CCS icon near top right corner of screen. 

    The Resource Explore is covered with the transparent GRAY overlay and the pop up error message.  This happens for all of the different examples including the Register Level Examples.  It also occurs for the "TI-RTOS for MSP43x - v:2.20.00.06 " sub-folder example projects. 

    I was able to create a new 432 project then cut paste the code from an example to get a working project that b links the LED on the MSP-EXP432L401R board.

    I have also build a couple of 432 projects from scratch that 'blink the LED' etc.

    BTW: CCS is Version 6.2.0.00050

  • Tom,

    I'm a bit stumped as to why the import would fail with this error if you are able to create a new project for the same device. It looks like you are using MSP432Ware v3.50.00.02, is that correct? I just tried this out with CCS 6.2.0.00050 and MSP432Ware v3.50.00.02 and am able to import projects without any issues.

    I wonder if there's something missing in your CCS installation. I know this isn't ideal but could you try reinstalling CCS 6.2?
    Or better yet, if you are not locked into version 6.2, I would suggest upgrading to the latest CCSv7 and Simplelink MSP432 SDK which is the newer software package that supersedes MSP432Ware, so you can start your development with the most up-to-date versions of software and tools.

  • Hi

    I had similar conflict earlier but after some study, the reason was missing MSP432 package & tools at CCS even though the MPS432Ware package was installed and active.

    The MSP432 package is linked to MSP430 and therefore both MSP430 & MSP432 options must be selected when adding the CCS tool packages at installing the CCS v.6.2.0

    The SimpleLink options don't contain the needed tools for MSP432 use.
