MSP430FR5994: How to force CCS builder to recompile a source file

A particular source file, or the whole project? You can always do a clean.

Also, _DATE_ and _TIME_ are not particularly handy for the RTC.

To add to Keith's questions, this is documentation for building in CCSv10, but maybe it could be helpful as well.  

Thanks,

JD

Just to a single file.    Clean & Rebuild the whole project will be a waste of time.

I'm using sscanf to extract the values from __DATE__, __TIME__ strings to integer variables.

This is just for prototypes. In production, RTC will be set via UART.

If you can tell me a better way how to automatically set the time to the RTC while programming (via JTAG) it will be nice.

I have used the compile time constants to set the time, you are right, it is fine for debugging.

IF you right-click (control-click for a Mac) on a file you get a "Build Selected File(s)" option.

Keith,

"IF you right-click (control-click for a Mac) on a file you get a "Build Selected File(s)" option"

Thanks, but how can it be done automatically? So that each time I'm clicking the 'Debug' icon at the CCS the __DATE__ and __TIME__ will always be updated.

I intentionally separated the using of __DATE__ and __TIME__  into a separate source file.

Thanks.

JD,

Thanks that works well.
