Converting project for diffrent target MCU gives error

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5359, MSP430F5438A

Hi All,

We have a project that origionally was intended for the MSP430f5438A, this project has been converted to a new target MCU, the MSP430F5359.

When we want to load in the project using Code Composer 5.5 we get the following error:

MSP430: Error connecting to the target: The target setup (MSP430F5438A) does not match the actual target type (MSP430F5359).

We have changed the MCU under project properties->general->variants to the right MCU but when loading the program it gives the mentioned error. When we press ignore it continues to load. We have tried removing and adding the project to the used workspace and also tried a new workspace (this helped in the passed with a diffrent MCU), but the result is the same.

Is there a step or action that we are missing? We have looked on the forum but to no result.

Have you tried to clean your project under PROJECT->CLEAN? This sometimes helps if there are strange behaviours.

Hi,

When I get this sort of problem I tend to generate a new empty project or a simple hello world example for the new processor, and then just copy the source files from the old project over.

Hi all,

Thank you for your reply's! We have cleaned and rebuild the project but this has no effect. There are a lot of files, is there another way to fix this? Or do we have to create a new project and import the files?

Hi,

You could try a text search for "5438" across all the files in the project, including the properties files to see if something has not been updated fully. I believe that CCS uses XML for the project settings so you should be able to check in those files.

If you, in CCS, go to “View\Target Configurations” right click the correct target under ‘Projects’ and select ‘Set as Default’. You can delete the unnecessary targets.

CCS imports the files itself after copying them into the directory of the project.
