CCS/MSP430F5438: No DriverLib options available when creating a new CCS Project

Part Number: MSP430F5438
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have a fresh install of CCS 9.2 running, and have installed MSP430Ware locally via CCS. I've been trying to follow the DriverLib Release Notes and User Guide, but when I create a new CCS project, I am not seeing any of the MSP430 DriverLib options under the project templates.

Working through the Release Notes troubleshooting instructions, under Window -> Preferences -> CCS -> Products, it initially showed only "C:/ti/msp430ware_3_80_07_00" under the discovery path, and nothing msp430ware related under the installed products. I manually added a path to C:/ti/msp430ware_3_80_07_00/driverlib, refreshed, installed this and restarted CCS as per the instructions. However, there is no separate installed product for msp430ware itself, as indicated in the install guide, and I'm guessing this is at least part of the problem. Nothing I have done seems to allow me to install this.

My products window currently looks as follows. Any help gratefully received!

  • Hi Andrew,

    I'm checking this with the CCS team.

  • Thanks Lukas,

    Since I don't have much investment in the V9 installation, I just had a play with a totally fresh install of CCS 9.2.0, followed by loading a local copy of msp430ware via the Resource Explorer. Definitely no errors anywhere in the installation.

    This ended up in exactly the same place - this time there was no msp430ware directories in the product discovery directories. I added both the msp430ware parent and driverlib paths, but could only refresh and install the DriverLib product as previously. Once again, creating a new CCS project shows none of the DriverLib options in the project templates.

    Regards - Andrew

  • Hi Andrew,

    I am sorry that CCS doesn't support to create a new project contain driverlib. 

    I advice you to include an example("00_emptyProject") according to the device, and code based on your requirement.

    Here is the location: C:\ti\msp\MSP430Ware_3_80_07_00\driverlib\examples\MSP430F5xx_6xx\00_emptyProject

  • Apologies that I have not responded before now. Got dragged off onto other priorities.

    Don't know why I didn't think of just looking at the examples! The primary thing I was after was some ideas/suggestions of how the driverlib should be incorporated in a project, and the examples should give a good handle on that. I'll have to drag the driverlib into the project manually, as its all invisible from the Resource manager. 

    Thanks and regards - Andrew
