New Grace project not showing up after install.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553, MSP430F67641

Hi,

I've just installed Code Composer  v6.0.1.00040 and installed the Grace plugin from the App Center. When I go to create a new project, there is no option for "Empty Grace (MSP430) Project." What can I do to fix this?

    Hi Dru,

    It looks to me like you are not seeing Grace projects because your target is set to a Generic ARM7 Device, rather than an MSP430.  Try setting the Target: selection to the MSP430 device you would like to develop for.  Then you should see the Grace options appear (as below for an MSP430G2553):

    You probably installed ARM support with CCS and it defaulted to ARM7 rather than MSP430.

    Regards,
    Walter

    Hi Walter,

    I chose an MSP430 and I still don't see the grace project option.

    I apologize for not being more clear.  The Grace feature does not support every device family.  The supported famlies are listed below:

    • MSP430G2xx Value Line Devices
    • MSP430F2xx Devices
    • MSP430FR57xx Devices
    • MSP430FR584x(1) Devices
    • MSP430FR585x Devices
    • MSP430FR586x(1) Devices
    • MSP430FR594x(1) Devices
    • MSP430FR595x Devices
    • MSP430FR596x(1) Devices

    You can find this list at the Wiki page here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Grace_Quick_Start_Guide

    The Code Composer Studio New CCS Project window is intelligent and only displays options that apply to specific devices.  This also applies to things like the DriverLib- you won't see an option for DriverLib when you select a MSP430G2xx device, but you will when you select an MSP430F5xx device.  Typically on the higher-performance families (F5xx, F6xx, FR5xx, FR6xx) Grace is not used as these families have peripheral driver libraries available.

    Which device are you looking to work with?

    Ok, now it is showing up, thanks! I'm working with an MSP430F67641. Grace is not available for this chip then?

    Dru,

    That's correct.  If you are looking at getting up and running quickly with the F67641, I recommend taking a look at the driver library.

    You can find example projects that show how to use it in the TI Resource Explorer in CCS (by selecting the View -> Resource Explorer (Examples) menu option).
