Support,

Very odd behavior when importing a project from TIREX or through CCS>File>Import>CCS Projects.  I am using CCSv9 + mspware.  I am targeting the MSP430i2041.

Through TIREX I am able to dig down to the examples folder.  Here I have the options for 'Assembly, Register, or Driverlib' versions of the projects.

I was able to hit the CCS-cube icon to import into CCS for the Driverlib version of the project.  I was NOT able to import the Register version??  I get error - not able to resolve directory for the 'c' file.  It looks like it may be looking in the wrong directory?

Then I tried to install the mspware manually into c:\ti\mspware_v....  I tried to manually import the projects and id does not find them??

I'm not sure what is happening but it does not make sense.

What am i doing wrong?  If you say it may be admin privileges, this does not make sense since I was able to import Driver version successfully.  I would assume it would not work at all if it had to do with admin privileges.

Regards,

Marc

    Hi Marc,

    For TIREX, try using the download and install button first(to the right of the cube icon).  The download may take a while as I think this is downloading all the examples.  It worked for me after doing this.

    To manually import the examples, you will need to start a new project and copy in the files.  The examples do not include a full CCS project, only C code, which is why you don't see them when trying to do it from Import>CCS Project.  To manually import the code into a project, use file>new ccs project, select your target device(MSP430i2041) and give the project a name.  You can then copy in the c files to your newly created project.  You can drag and drop the files or right click the project and select "add files".

    Eddie,

    Thanks for the response!

    But this doesn't explain why the Driver version loaded and the register one did not?

    So when using TIREX it imports a full CCS project?  

    and when using CCS to import from MSPWare examples you have to make an empty project?

    Thanks.

    Marc,

    I am not exactly sure why the driver version worked, but not register.  I prefer to just manually import the examples I want to use.  One thing you could check... when in TIREX, in the top right corner, click the 3 horizontal bars and select preferences and make sure the path is correct.  Also, did using the download and install button fix the issue for you in TIREX?

    Correct, TIREX takes the C code files and creates a full CCS project. 

    When importing manually, you need to create this project yourself since the examples in MSPWare are C code files only and not a complete project.  You can see this if you browse to one of the directories that it is just 2 c files typically.  See the directory below, assuming you have MSPware installed in the same directory. 

    C:\ti\msp\MSP430Ware_3_60_00_10\examples\devices\MSP430i2xx\MSP430i20xx_Code_Examples\C\msp430i20xx_cs_03
