MSP432E401Y: FREERTOS_INSTALL_DIR path-variable error while building FreeRTOS example in SIMPLELINK-MSP432E4-SDK

Part Number: MSP432E401Y


Hello Team,

I am trying to run a FreeRTOS example from the SIMPLELINK-MSP432E4-SDK using CCS. Specifically, I am building the example:

gpiointerrupt_MSP_EXP432E401Y_freertos_ccs

However, I am consistently encountering the following build error:

**** Build Finished ****
Buildfile generation error occurred..
Required path-variable 'FREERTOS_INSTALL_DIR' cannot be resolved or is pointing to a non-existent location.
See 'Preferences > CCS > Build > Variables' page to define this path-variable before building this project.
Note that this must be a path-variable, pointing to an existing directory in the file-system.
Build stopped..

I have verified that the SDK is properly installed, and FreeRTOS is present under the SDK directory. Despite this, the build system is still unable to resolve the FREERTOS_INSTALL_DIR path-variable.

Could you please help me understand:

  • What exact directory should FREERTOS_INSTALL_DIR point to for the MSP432E4 SDK?

  • Is there any additional CCS or project configuration required to build FreeRTOS examples from this SDK?

  • Am I missing any required setup steps for FreeRTOS support in CCS?

Any guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.
