Duplicating an existing CCS 5 project

Edward,

There's no easy way to do this as far as I know.  This is probably better asked in the Code Composer Studio forum though.  The quickest way is to just create a copy of the project directory, but this gets sticky when you go back and import it into CCS.  There a number of references to the project name / file IDs which can confuse Code Composer Studio.  I would recommend just creating a new project and adding / linking the necessary files.

Edward,

While CCS5 is open, you should be able to right-click on an imported project name and click "Copy".  Then "Paste" into the "Project Explorer" window.  Once pasted, a dialog box will come up where you can choose the new project name.


Thank you,
Brett

Edward:

Another way that has been successful for me - when you go to CCS5, under Workspace Launcher, hit "Browse" and highlight the C: drive. Then click on "Make New Folder."

In the CCS5 welcome, click on "New Project." The New Project dialog box will come up, and you can name your project. Fill out the info - for me, I have a F28069 ControlStick, so I fill in as much as possible on that. I also used the "hello world" example, which I can then replace later. If you want to use SysBios, you have an option for that as well.

CCS will populate the linker command file, a c file for hello world, and the "ccxml" file to load code into the ControlStick.

After creating this, you can delete hello.c, and drag your files into the project. I have also then created an "inc" folder for include files and "src" folder for source files. One other thing - if you create an "inc" folder, you will need to point to it so CCS can see the include files. That is an option in the Build tools.

Hopefully, this helps!

Thank you for your help! The methods you described were quite helpful.
