CCS/MSP-EXP430F5529: User Experience 16KB demo does not build

Part Number: MSP-EXP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, MSP430WARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I downloaded the MSP-EXP430F5529 User Experience_16KB demo in a fresh, clean, installation of CCS 7.1.0.00016.   Upon trying to build, the compilation appeared to succeed but the linker had the following error:

<Linking>
"../lnk_msp430f5529.cmd", line 126: warning: Linker command file has no
   sections of type=VECT_INIT, but does contain .intXX sections.  This file may
   be out of date.  Generating interrupt pointers for all .intXX sections.  The
   default handler provided in the RTS will be used if no other handler is
   found.  It is recommend that you update your linker command file to the
   latest version.

gmake: *** [MSP-EXP430F5529UserExperience.out] Error 1
gmake: Target 'all' not remade because of errors.

Can someone point me to how to fix this linker script so I can run this demo?

Thanks, Tim

    Hi Tim,
    I had a variety of similar errors when trying to build that example in CCSv7 using the latest compiler. When looking at the project properties, I see that the project was originally created using a very old version of the compiler (3.3.2). I suspected some mismatch regarding the compiler versions and confirmed it when I installed v3.3.2 and used it with CCSv7.1.0 to build the project. The build was successful. I would recommend installing that version. If you are unable to find that version, please let me know via private message and I can get you set up.

    Thanks
