CCS/MSP430F149: TIMSP430-USB.xml errors importing projects

Part Number: MSP430F149

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello, I'm using CCS 6.2.0.00050 for Mac OS (OS Mojave 10.14.6).

I'm trying to import a project previously created with CCS 4.0.1.01001 in Windows 7 ambient.

My CCS 6 gives me the following error:
"File connections\TIMSP430-USB.xml does not exist.  Was included by file /Users/simone/workspace_v6_2/Burner_master/MSP430F149.ccxml"

and the following 2 warnings:

"Invalid project path: Include path not found (/Applications/ti/ccsv6/msp430/include)."
"This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed: 3.2.1 [MSP430]. Another version of the compiler will be used during build: 15.12.3.LTS. See 'Help > Check for Updates' or visit <a href="liveaction:OpenAppCenter">CCS App Center</a> to get the latest compilers. See 'Help > Install New Software...' to install older compilers. Alternatively, migrate the project to one of the available compiler versions by adjusting project properties."

How can I solve them?

Thank you very much for the assistence.

    Hello Simone,

    I believe the issue revolves around the changes in the CCS directory structure since CCSv4.

    Simone Vinati said:
    "Invalid project path: Include path not found (/Applications/ti/ccsv6/msp430/include)."

    Assuming the CCSv6 is installed in "/Applications/ti/ccsv6" the correct include path for the msp430 include folder would be:

    /Applications/ti/ccsv6/ccs_base/msp430/include

    the project properties would need to be updated to reflect this change

    Likely the same issue for the ccxml file. You may want to simply create a new ccxml file from scratch

    this one is a little different. Basically, the original project was created using an older version of the compiler (that likely came with CCSv4). That message is simply saying that it can;t find that compiler version so it will just user the version of the compiler it can find (15.12.3.LTS). That is fine - unless you have strict requirements to use the same exact version that was used by the original project. If that is indeed the case, let me know.

    Thanks

    Regarding:

    Assuming the CCSv6 is installed in "/Applications/ti/ccsv6" the correct include path for the msp430 include folder would be:

    /Applications/ti/ccsv6/ccs_base/msp430/include

    the project properties would need to be updated to reflect this change

    In the dialog in your screenshot, go to "Build -> MSP430 Compiler -> Include Options"

    It is here where you can fix your include search path.

    Dear Ki, thank you very much again.

    Sorry for my late reply, I was busy with other several things to do.

    About your first suggestion: "In the dialog in your screenshot, go to "Build -> MSP430 Compiler -> Include Options""

    I tried solve by adding to "include search path" the following dir:

    "/Applications/ti/ccsv6/ccs_base/msp430/include" as shown in this screenshot, but the error is still present, also by re-opening the CCS.

    Could I do some not-correct o complete procedure?

    Can the source file shown in the next screenshot to be useful?

    Thank you,

    Simone

    Did you also create a new target configuration file from scratch?

    Dear Ki,

    meanwhile I solved the issue by creating a new Target ccxml file and everything goes well.

    Unfortunaltely now I have a new issu with my FET 430 UIF. The Debug gives the following error:

    The USB FET seems correctly installed as the my MacBook sees the device as shown in the Mac properties:

    A similar problem I had with a PC.

    I alredy installed the following FET driver: ti_msp430pack_MSP-FET_6.8.0.0-osx_CCS6.1.2

    The CCS version that I'm using is 6.2..0.00050
