MSP-EXP430F5529LP: Create an empty project with CCS 20.3

Part Number: MSP-EXP430F5529LP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Tool/software:

Hi everybody.

I would like to create an empty project (no grlib, no driverlib, no any-other-lib) for MSP-EXP430F5529LP or MSP4305529, I don't mind.

From https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide_ccs/ccs_faqs.html#how-do-i-create-a-new-project-from-scratch I can read "It is no longer possible to create a new project from "scratch". Users will need to import an existing example from the Project Wizard "

It also says that it is possible to create an empty project using the command line. It works fine if you know where CCS is installed and the path to your workspace it is simple. But when teaching in foreign labs, this is not always true.

In https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp-low-power-microcontrollers-group/msp430/f/msp-low-power-microcontroller-forum/1464343/msp430fr6989-there-is-not-empty-project-option?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=empty%2525252520project#

suggest to use the Blink Led as starting point. It is a good idea, but, sadly, there is no blinking led for MSP4305529.

In https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/code-composer-studio-group/ccs/f/code-composer-studio-forum/1475504/codecomposer-can-t-create-empty-projects-with-ccs-20-0-2-5/5717740?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=empty%25252520project#

some body talks about empty or blank project will be available on CCS 20.1 or 20.2, but still it is not available in CCS 20.3

The last two options I found in the forums is to go back to CCS 12.8, or deliver and import an empty project. 

Some body has other options?

I would like to make two questions to TI:

Will CCS 20.x allow to create an empty project for any microcontroller?

Is it possible to add a project to the list of examples and show it in the wizard?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Tony,

    Hi Tony,

    1. When you open up CCS there is the Get Started page.
    2. Click on Browse Software and Examples, this will open a new window to our TI Resource Explorer
    3. Search for the device you want to have the example for, Navigate to the MSP430 Microcontrollers -> Embedded Software -> MSP430Ware -> Devices -> your device -> peripheral examples -> register level
    4. Import the example which has a 1.c at the end
    5. The project will now appear in your code composer studio

    You want to import an example because it will add all the appropriate header files and linker files by default. Otherwise you'd be stuck generating all the register maps by default and that is not worth doing on your own.

    Regards,
    Luke
