CCS: Compiler version problem

Steven Hunter

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2274

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I downloaded all the eZ430-Chronos software and all the CCS updates. I modified the code and get the following:

Buildfile generation error occurred..
This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed - 4.2.1 [MSP430]:

I followed the instructions and tried the 'Code Generation Tools Updates' without any success. I have 

Code Composer Studio

Version: 8.0.0.00016

Do I need to import this code into another project, or what?

    As per the message, that project requires v4.2.1 of the MSP430 compiler tools. Did you install that specific version of compiler tools into CCS 8.0?

    If you haven't done so yet, you can do it as follows:

    - In CCS, go to menu Help->Install Code Generation Tools Update
    - Uncheck "Show only the latest versions of available software"
    - Select v4.2.1 of MSP430 Compiler Tools 
    - Go through the installation process.

    After this completes, CCS should be able to import and build the project using v4.2.1 compiler.

    Let us know if this does not resolve the issue.

    I got the following error:

    Cannot complete the request. See the error log for details.
    "MSP430 Compiler Tools" will be ignored because a newer version is already installed.

    I don't know how I could uninstall the current version and still be able to load the old version.

    Steven,

    To uninstall a specific version of compiler tools, follow the procedure described here. After that is done, you should be able to install the older version.

    This, combined with the post on how to find old versions, fixed my problem. It compiled!

    Hello,
    My issue is related to the SEH-eZ430-RF2500 application. I wanted to modify the end device (ED) code a little bit. So I followed the instructions in section 4.1 of the SLAU273D document (eZ430-RF2500-SEH Solar Energy Harvesting Development Tool User's Guide, January 2009–Revised July 2013).

    I don't see any error in CCS (my version 8) except 3 warnings, one of which is compiler related. It says 'This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed - 4.1.5 [MSP430]'.


    My understanding is, since I have the latest compiler (for MSP430) installed and this is just a warning (not error), everything should be fine. Unfortunately, it is not working for me. I debugged with End Device mode active as instructed in the document. but the End Device does not respond any more when powered up. To make things worse, I tried to put back the original code, but still no luck. I made my Acess Point also non-responsive in the same way. Please help.

    I was able to find the solution finally!

    It is the issue with the linker actually. All I had to do is to overwrite (replace) the "lnk_msp430f2274.cmd" file in the project with the "lnk_msp430f2274.cmd" file from the directory "C:\ti\ccsv8\ccs_base\msp430\include". The reason is explained in this link: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../10424

    I would suggest TI to update the same in the SLAC219 zip file.
