CCS/MSP430G2553: version error problem while debugging

Part Number: MSP430G2553
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8837, MSP430G2131,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio


This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed - 4.0.0 [MSP430]. See 'Help > Install New Software' and select 'Code Generation Tools Updates' to check if this compiler is available through a CCS update. Visit <a href="liveaction:OpenAppCenter">CCS App Center</a> to get the latest compiler support. Or <a href="software-dl.ti.com/.../a> and install the compiler, then register it with CCS through 'Preferences > CCS > Build > Compilers'. DRV8837_Customer_EVM_Rev1 properties Problem

  • Use "Project->Show Build Settings->CCS General->Tool-chain->Compiler version". Select one (probably the highest-numbered) from the drop-down list. I don't recall if you can do this in CCSv4, but I'm pretty sure it was in CCSv7.

    Compiler version rarely matters. I don't know why CCS makes such a fuss about it.

    Older versions of CCS will not even be able to import the project if there is a mismatch in the major version of the compiler. Newer CCS versions may allow you to import as the version numbers are relatively close.

  • Alwala - CCSv4 is very old and unsupported. CCSv7 is better but it is still old and unsupported. I strongly recommend that you update to the latest version of CCS
