Got lost right from the start

Hi,

1) when I first plugged in my USB-DK I found a menu for checking out some features (light sensor etc).

    I left these examples with the automatic LED-Program and that's all I can get now after reset or repeated plug-in.

    Where can I find the menu again?

2) In CCS I created some new projects but they don't show up in the projects folder. Even doing it step by step with the video running didn't help.

HW: http://www.ti.com/tool/halcogen is helpful to generate projects.

3) I downloaded Hercules_RM48_UART_Bootloader example-zip. I tried to load this project with Project Import, but it failed with the error

    "The Managed Make project file is missing".

    I tried this with other project examples, too. Though all those projects are not listed in the projects folder : When I close and reopen CCS I get several pop-ups

    with the named error.

HW: which version of CCS are you using? I have no problem to import it. But to build it, you have to edit the include path.

4) How can I remove a project (there is just one listed) from the project folder as to clean up everything and start all over again ?

HW: click on the project in CCS and press key "delete'. It will not delete the C and h files, so, you need to delete them manually in need.

5) I guess I can use the USB-DK for other projects than the predefined ones. But how? CCS accepts only the simulator as target configuration.

HW: For the free version of CCS, you can only select Texas instruments xds100v2 USB emulator.

    Every other selection cannot be saved.

I like this USB thing, but 80 bucks for some blinking LEDs is quite over the top.
