CODECOMPOSER: Transferring CCS projects to a new computer

David Nyarko

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE, MSP432E401Y

I will be a new windows 10 computer and would any information on effectively getting my current projects to be used with the new CCS installation.

On the new computer, I intend to use the default folder locations when installing CCS , the MSP432xx SDKs and C2000Ware .

I currently have CCS 10.4.0.00006 on a windows 10 computer.

- ,.My projects are in the default ..\workspace_v10 folder

- I have projects for the C2000, MSP432P401R and MSP432E401Y processors.

- The SDKs for the MSP432xxx processors as well as the C2000ware are installed in the default location ( C:\ti )

After installation, can i just copy my current projects into the "..\workspace_v10" folder on the new folder or a

different approach should be used.

Thanks

Hi David,

I would suggest to export the projects, then importing on the new device instead of copying and pasting. This prevents any dependencies based on file path from causing issues when moving devices or folders. As long as all the other software components like the SDKs, C2000Ware etc. are installed there should be no issues.

Regards,

Luke

Hi Luke,

When i click on the export option for any project, i am presented with an "Export" window where i have to "choose an export wizard" .

What should be the correct next steps?

Thanks

David

Hi David,

These are the steps I usually take:

Export -> File System -> select project (I usually include all files) -> to directory (Insert location file path here) -> finish

You should then be able to see the project as a folder where you selected the location. Then transfer this folder to the new device (Zip it, flash drive, etc.)Then you can import the project on the new device under:

Project -> Import CCS Projects -> Select Search-Directory -> Find the Project Folder -> Select Folder -> Check the project under discovered projects -> finish

The imported project should show up on the CCS IDE and located in workspace folder.
