CCS/TMS570LC4357: Error: Import failed for project 'TMS570LC43x_target_sources' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted. Please contact support.

Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN, RM42L432, TMS570LS0432

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

We are setting up a new project with the TMS570LC43.

The shipped CD had old Code Composer so we installed CC V8.

When any of the example projects  from C:\ti\Hercules\Hercules Safety MCU Demos\4.0.0\TMS570LC43x_target_sources are imported we receive the following error

"Error: Import failed for project 'TMS570LC43x_target_sources' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted. Please contact support."

Please advise as to the correct configuration.

  • Hello John,

    I can't reproduce this, the project imports without any errors for me.

    Are you importing using the CCS menu Project->Import CCS Projects? Can you try importing a few other example projects and see if the error appears for other projects too or just this one?

    If the error occurs for other projects as well, then my guess would be that either CCS8 or Demo SW is not installed correctly.
  • Yes, the import function was used. Ill step back for a moment. Using the Halcogen application I can get functional projects. Interrupts, A/D, events , timers,all seem to work. One of the simplest functions - moving a GIO from 0 to 1, does not work.

    The GIO Port A is set to pull up and the PIMMUX has GIO A all connected, yet no movement.

    The Launchpad GIO 2 LED is dim suggesting the pull up is active

    What the missing config step?

  • Hello John,

    If the imported project doesn't work for you, you have to create a new project and add all the files into your new project. It is very straight forward. It is not worthwhile for you to spend time to debug the corrupted imported project.

    The demo project has been tested on launchpads. There is no problem with the source code.
