Cant add semaphore in app.cfg gui

One thing is to make sure you have BIOS.h included in your project (if your include directories point to the SYS/BIOS packages directory then it should be in ti/sysbios/BIOS.h). Also, make sure the BIOS module is included in the cfg.

Your issue with the Semaphore readding it self sounds odd. Would it be possible to zip up your project and post it?

I cant send you the project but I tried / verified the other items.  Here is the CFG file:

Have you made sure to save your changes to the cfg file after editing it? I know the editor can behave a little oddly otherwise.

Have you tried importing one of our examples that use semaphores such as the Benchmark example through Resource Explorer to see if it builds and runs fine?

I have not tried importing any other examples. I will on Monday.
