SIMPLELINK-MSP432-SDK: CCS v20 MSP_EXP432E401Y SysLink not working in CCS IDE

Ramsey Harris

Part Number: SIMPLELINK-MSP432-SDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Tool/software:

I have installed CCS 20.0.2. Using Resource Explorer, I have imported the example project event_MSP_EXP432E401Y_tirtos_ccs from SimpleLink MSP432E SDK 4.20.00.12. I am trying to launch the SysConfig GUI by double-clicking on the file event.syscfg. I get a new window with the content "type html>". Looking at the discovered products, I see two versions of SysConfig:

1.22.0 C:/ti/ccs2002/ccs/utils/sysconfig_1.22.0
1.5.0+1353 C:/ti/sysconfig_1.5.0

I suspect CCS is trying to launch SysConfig 1.5.0 instead of 1.22.0. But how to fix this? I don't see a way to tell CCS which one to use.

Thank you

This thread suggests that the MSP432E support in CCS20 is "not all there" yet.

Bruce,

Thank you for the reference. I think you are correct, looks like MSP432E support is still in the works. BTW, I fixed the compiler issue by pointing CCS 20 to the compiler in my CCS 12 install. I was also able to fix the SysLink version by using the project properties to edit the product dependency for SysConfig. However, the build still fails. Even creating an empty project with TI-RTOS fails.

However, creating a NO-RTOS empty project did build. So, hopefully the remaining support will come soon.

Hi Ramsey,

Can you show what build error you are seeing? I strongly suggest you stay with CCS12 in the meantime to not affect your development.

Charles,

Here is a screen shot of the error message when trying to launch SysConfig. I already clicked Yes to retry in compatibility mode, but it just keeps on asking me the same question over and over again.

Here is a screen shot of the error message when I try to build the project. It looks like the SysConfig step failed.

Maybe this will help. However, it is easy enough to reproduce. Simply create a new TI-RTOS project and try to build it.

Thanks for looking, but I'll stay with CCS 12 for now. It would be nice to know what support CCS 20 offers and when the remaining support will be available. Is there a web page showing the CCS 20 roadmap?

Thanks

Hi,

I just installed CCS20.0.2.5 and I even have problem importing a project. I will consult with our CCS experts. In the meantime, please stay with CCS12 for now.
