Importing StellarisWare examples in CCS - error!

Max Mueller
Prodigy 190 points

After downloading the most recent version of StellarisWare (v9107), I'm trying to follow the old instructions that came with v8264 in order to import all of the examples that come with the distribution. The instructions say to choose the "Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project", navigate the the base folder of StellarisWare, choose the "driverlib" folder and import from there. Rather than just being a single "driverlib" as before, there are two possible imports SW_ROOT from \driverlib\ccs-cm3 or SW_ROOT from \driverlib\ccs-cm4f. Importing either of these gives the following error:

"The Managed Make project file could not be read because of the following error:

 The Managed Make project for project SW_ROOT is missing.

Managed Make functionality will not be available for this project."

Any ideas as to why this would be happening? I recently changed workspaces so I could have a workspace for the new version of stellarisware, so I just named it "workspace_stellarisware_9107" (I doubt that is an issue, but just in case...). Also, I'm using Code Composer Studio Version: 4.2.4.00033.

This is my first post so I appreciate any and all help that is to come.

Thanks,

-Max

    Max,

    As of version 9107 of StellarisWare, the projects have been updated to use CCS V5.  I recommend that you upgrade your CCS to the latest version or use the previous release (version 8555).  

    Thanks,

    Sean

    Thanks for the info, Sean. I'm downloading CCSv5 now and I'll reply once I successfully import the example projects that are included with the v9107 distribution of Stellarisware.

    Updated to CCSv5 and I've got the Stellarisware v9107 example projects loaded and I've tested debugging one on the MCU - all seems to be working. Thanks, Sean!

    Hi Sean,

    I had the same problem yesterday, and I am sure there are many more as well.  I am reluctant to upgrade to CCS V5 at the moment because I am in the midst of several important projects using CCS, and am afraid something might break.  How can I download Stellarisware version 8555?  I see only V9107 on the download page...

    Thanks,

    Stephen

    Stephen,

    There isn't a way to download previous versions, but you should be able to reuse the contents of the ccs directory.  Unless files have been added in the new version, you should be able to remove the ccs directory in an example app or library from in the new version of StellarisWare and replace it with directory from the old version.

    Thanks,

    Sean

    Yes, unless there is a really compelling reason to do so, it's generally best not to change tools in mid project!

    But, then, why would you want to change your Stellarisware version?

    My other CCS projects are all MSP430, I am new to Stellaris.

    It turns out I didn't need to change the Stellarisware version after all.  I had a non-working setup, and I thought it was due to the fact my '6965 evaluation kit is for Code Sourcery (CCS version was not available from my vendor at the time). A recent download of the CCS EVK DVD from the website gave me the latest Stellarisware, causing the above-mentioned problem.  It looks like my problems were, in fact, due to incorrect importing of projects in CCS, since a clean reinstall of Stellarisware from my original DVD and following the quickstart procedure to the letter solved my problem.  Things are now compiling fine!

    Ah - that explains it!

    Is it possible to have both CCS4 and CCS5 installed on the same PC...?

    Although I haven't done much with CCSv4, I do have both CCSv4 and CCSv5 installed on my PC and haven't had any issues - I would stray away from using the same workspace, obviously (but the installer defaults to a workspace like workspace_ccs5 anyways).
