Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2232

Hi,

I struggled before searching for the compiler v4.3.1 for msp430g2232. I finally got it and then my old project could be compiled again and working.

i had to change computers and i can not for the life of me find it again. i download C5500 Code Generation Tools v4.3.1from

http://software-dl.ti.com/codegen/non-esd/downloads/download.htm

and when im in the properties and clicking compiler from folder it doesn't find any in any of the locations which the v4.3.1 installs them to(lib, _bin, or include folders)

is there something im missing?

does anyone have the v4.3.1 compiler that will work when i try to add a compiler from a file/folder?

Thanks,

Steven

    If you are using CCS, you can install old compiler versions from CCS.

    Use Help -> Install New Software and select "Code Generation Tools Updates" in the work-with drop down.

    Untick "Show only the latest versions of available software". Enter the version number in "4.3.1" in the search box. CCS should then offer you the ability to install MSP430 Compiler v4.3.1:

    Here is the download site for CCS with older versions, too. Maybe you will find something you can work with there:

    Hi There,

    This worked and the program will complie. now on the new computer the FET i am using will launch the target configuration but it will not connect to a target. it says unkown target as if there were no communication.

    under the common tab of the linker file there is an encoding spot, it shows default-inherited (cp1252) on the old machine and works fine
    the new machine it shows default-inherited(GBK).

    would this be an issue. how do i control the firmware of the FET programmer?
    i can't understand how to revert back.

    before i did the v4.3.1 for the complier i was able to download and connect to a target using my .out file that was complied from the old machine.

    is there a way to uninstall the complier 4.3.1 to test if i can still connect to a target?

    Sorry for the delay response.
    Thanks,
    Steven
