Trouble using MSP430 GCC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430-GCC-OPENSOURCE

Hello!

I'm trying to setup a new CCS project using MSP430 GCC.
1. When I go to app center, the button at the right bottom of GCC says "up to date",
so I guess I don't have to install or update anything.

2. When I try to make a new program:
File->New->CCS project. The setup window opens.
As I use the 5529 launchpad, I type 5529 in the target filter, and there is a single
candidate that I can select.
Then I set a project name and choose a location.
Now trying to choose a compiler, but there is only TIv15.12.1.LTS

Does anybody know how to start a MSPGCC project using CCS?

Thanks,

Pascal

    Hi Pascal,

    My version of the CCS new project creator gives me the option for MSPGCC so I'm guessing that the App Center's information is incorrect, which has happened to me before regarding MSPWare. I would suggest downloading MSP430-GCC-OPENSOURCE from the TI tools page and then check for updates inside of CCS.

    Regards,
    Ryan

    If you use the CCS menu Window -> Preferences, and look at Code Compser Studio -> Build -> Compilers has CCS discovered any GNU compilers for MSP430?

    The following example is from a CCS 6.1.3 installation in which have successfully installed and discovered GNU compilers for MSP430, and for which CCS allows the GNU compiler to be selected when creating a new project:

    Which operating system are you using?

    The reason is there is a report of the same symptom MacOS where the MSP430 GCC was reported as "up to date" in the CCS App Center but the compiler hadn't been successfully installed - see CCSv6 on a Mac Book Pro - problems installing the MPS430 GCC compiler add-on

    The work-around in the referenced thread was to manually unzip the downloaded MSP430 GCC compiler into the CCS <wherever_you_installed_it>/ccsv6/tools/compiler directory.
