CCS/MSP-EXP430F5529: CCS/MSP-EXP430F5529

Arthur Dent
Prodigy 230 points

Part Number: MSP-EXP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE, MSP430F5529

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The demo programs for this development kit do not build. 

CCS Version: 7.1.0.00016 

MSP430Ware-v:3.60.00.10

Neither Resource Explorer demo's ("User Experience Project" nor the lite version) will build and run.

Additionally the Peripheral Examples fail to load into project explroer as well.

There is no special steps other than simply using the resource explorer to import the projects and build them.

I would like to get this demo project to be functional with my purchased development kit.

Thanks

    What happens when you try to build?

    There is nothing unique about the setup i have, i am using the available demos within the resource explorer under the MSPWare subsection relevant to this development kit.  I am quite surprised that you are unable to replicate the problem.  That being said here is the feedback relevant to failure at build. Thanks for taking a look at this.

    are you okay? i have not heard any response about this.

    (I do not use CCS myself.)

    It appears the "User Experience Project" is not compatible with this CCS version. I don't know if TI still maintains that project.

    Anyway, the peripheral examples should be maintained. Do the work with the lastes MSPWare (3.80.00.6)?

    I would greatly appreciate that you transfer this case to someone that does use TI's Code Composer Studio that can look at this and provide an actionable response. I am solely interested in finding a solution.Thanks.

    The MSP-EXP430F5529 User Experience project was built in CCSv4 and uses a very old compiler version (TI v3.3.2 legacy COFF), the project errors are a result of your CCSv7 install only have access to a more recent compiler with a forced eabi (ELF) output format (as of TI v15.3.0.STS or later). My project builds and runs properly with CCSv7.1, MSPWARE3.70, and TI v4.4.8 legacy COFF (output format being the most important part).

    Regards,

    Much appreciated Ryan!!! It took me a bit to locate the downloads for the compiler and mspware product, but once i found them....and realized i needed to navigate to the examples in the mspware (3.7) repo....within windows folders(not the default msp430ware(3.6) in resource explorer)...import that....and it works like a charm. Thanks again!!!. I am posting the url for the compiler and mspware in the event that someone else has the same issue.
    compiler download 4.4.8
    software-dl.ti.com/.../download.htm
    mspware 3.7 download
    software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    Thank you Clemens.
