The sample project, MSP-EXP430F5529 User Experience, cannot be compiled successfully?

Sunglin,

The error you are receiveing is because the linker is unable to link the functions. Basically, object or library files are missing which are needed to resolve dependencies.
Did you use the "Project->Import Existing CCS Eclipse Project" option in CCS? Using the normal eclipse Import function will fail for CCS projects.

Gustavo

Gustavo,

Thank you for your information. I have try to import the example project both from the existing CCS Eclipse Project and from the MPS430ware directly, howevery, both of them didn't work and got the same error massage.  Do you have any idea?

With CCS5.4 and MSP430ware_1_40_01_44 I was able to import and compile without error the MSP-EXP430F5529 User Experience and MSP-EXP430F5529 User Experience_16KB projects.

For the project import used:
- Project -> Import Existing CCS Eclipse Project
- Un-ticked "Copy projects into workspace" and "Automatically import referenced projects"
- Browsed to ccsv5\ccs_base\msp430\MSP430ware_1_40_01_44\examples\boards\MSP-EXP430F5529 as the source directory for the import.

Dear Friends,

I found this compiled error only happened in the computer which installed both CCS and IAR tools. The imported example project could be compiled successfully in the computer which only installed CCS. Does anyone know which parameters or configurations should be changed to meet this requirement? Thank you.

Sunglin. 

Hi Sunglin,

I've been able to build this project in CCSv5.4 on my computer that has several different CCS versions as well as a few different IAR versions installed. So perhaps it is something about the install on that particular machine, not a conflict between CCS and IAR necessarily.

• What version of CCS, MSP430ware, and IAR do you have installed? Did you let MSP430ware install together with CCS, or did you install it separately?
• Did you install them in the default locations?
• Did you update this version of CCS from an earlier one or do a clean install (I've seen people have CCS issues when they install a newer CCS over an older one without uninstalling the old one, or try to update major versions using the updater)

Regards,

Katie

Just a guess.
