CCS/CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL: CCSV8: Unable to add new Path Variable?

Part Number: CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3220SF

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

    I am trying to port SAIL example program "i2cbmi160_CC3220SF_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs" files to "power_measurement_CC3220SF_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs". The SAIL example program uses PATH Variable "COM_TI_SAIL_INSTALL_DIR". I add this PATH Variable to  "power_measurement_CC3220SF_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs" example program and click Apply and Close. I open again the  Linked Resources - Path Variables Tab and the PATH Variable "COM_TI_SAIL_INSTALL_DIR" is not there.

  • Rather than manually adding the variable, try enabling the SAIL product in the power_measurement project. Go into Project Properties->General->Products tab and enable the Simplelink Sensor and Actuator Plugin. That should automatically add the COM_TI_SAIL_INSTALL_DIR path variable. 

    If the Simplelink Sensor and Actuator Plugin product is not in the list of Products, go into Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Products, and add its path to the Product discovery path. 

  • Hi AartiG,

    Your suggestion resolved my issue. But, what if at another CCS project I need the manually add a Path Variable? This is the first time I encountered this problem.

    The COM_TI_*_INSTALL_DIR variables are treated a bit differently and set automatically when the product is enabled, so it is easily ported among projects.
    But you can still create variables manually, even one that points to that same install directory if you wish, as long as you give it a different name.
