CCS 6.1 does not recognize MSP432

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA

I upgraded to CCS 6.1 but I cannot import the MSP432 examples to the project explorer. I ran the xdsfu test and it confirmed the firmware.

I am running on Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell. By the way, Energia seems to recognize it, but I need to attach the K350QVG Boosterpack and run the example.
Appreciate your help.

    Hi Dev,

    I was a bit confused - the title of your post says that CCS isn't recognizing the MSP432, but then your description you said you could not import the MSP432 examples in project explorer. Can you clarify - are you getting an error when you try to debug the MSP432 Launchpad, or is it that you cannot open an example project from TI Resource Explorer into your workspace? Posting any error messages that appear (maybe as screenshots) would be helpful for determining your issue.

    If the error is when you try to start a debug session with the MSP432, there is a great checklist in the MSP432 FAQ: https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/t/411030 Go down to the question: "I can’t program my LaunchPad; the IDE can’t connect to target. What’s wrong?" and follow the checklist there.

    Regards,

    Katie

    Hi Katie

    Seems there was something stale in the CCS installation. I did a clean install and an upgrade after that - not the device is recognized and I am able to import the examples. Thanks for the prompt reply - appears to be resolved. :)

    Best

    Great! I'm glad to hear everything is up and running - have fun exploring your MSP432! :-)

    Them MSP432 uses a different target instruction set than the MSP430, which is installed separately. It has to be selected during installation of CCS. Latest info is that you can run the CCS installer and point it to an existing CCS installation, this time checking the MSP432 target to be installed. A clean install does the same, of course, but a simple update won't help (updates don't enable support for new architectures)
    Apparently, if MSP432 support is not installed, importing an MSP432 project fails. This is independent of the detection of the actual hardware.

    @Jens-Michael. Thanks for the suggestion. I did get it working (as it says in the reply trail). There is something very sticky about the installation. It took a few cleanups to get it up and running.
