CCS Build Error - "Project was created using version of compiler not currently installed" | No connection to repository to install the suggested software

Hi there,

I am having an issue with CCS (version 12.1.0.00007, though I don't think it is the version itself). I recently downloaded, installed, and set up CCS, and imported my project over. I tried to build it, but it cam back with 1 error reading

"This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed - 4.4.8 [MSP430]. See 'Help > Install New Software' and select 'Code Generation Tools Updates' to check if this compiler is available through a CCS update. Visit CCS App Center to get the lastest compiler support. Or download and install the compiler, then register it with CSS through 'Preferences > CCS > Build > Compilers'."

I have followed the suggested routes listed above. Additionally, I have been through other forums with a similar issue but to no avail. 

I believe that the issue lies with there being no connection to "">software-dl.ti.com/.../content.xml" since all the solutions I've seen seem to want to connect to this at some point. If this is the case, does anyone know when this will be back up? Or is there another work around I can use?

    Hi Connor,

    I am wondering if your CCS knows where to find the compiler that you installed. In CCS, when you go to window->preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Compilers, does the compiler you installed appear in the "discovered tools" section? If not, try adding the path to the tool in the section above labeled "Tool discovery path".

    Let me know if this clears things up for you.

    Hi Dylan,

    It looks like the one I want is installed

    Connor,

    This does not look like the version of the compiler that CCS is asking you for. To install the correct version, please go to help -> Install Code Generation Compiler Tools. Select "Code Generation Tools Updates" in the first drop down box. Uncheck the "Show only the latest versions of available software". Lastly, expand the "TI Compiler Updates" dropdown and find the compiler version you need (MSP430 Compiler Tools - 4.4.8).

    Select it, then continue through the dialogue boxes to complete the installation. CCS will need to restart, then the correct compiler should be available for you to use with this project.

    Here is what I get when I try to connect to any repo through CCS. I can't connect. I tried to connect to all the available software sites in Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites. I know I won't need all of them, but I can't get to any of them Is there another way to connect to the repos?

    Oh I see now my apologies.

    One possible workaround for the issue is to download the correct compiler here. 

    Another thing that I think could work is to navigate to Window->Preferences->Install/Update->Trust, and then check the "Trust all content" box. Obviously this isn't something you should always do but for this download, it should be fine to try out.

    As for addressing the actual issue, it seems that in the past (with older versions like ccsv7), there were some issues with the server not providing the correct security certificates, leading to the same issue that you are seeing now. We do not frequently see this with newer versions of CCS, and the repository is definitely not down considering I've just used it. You might want to try updating your CCS install and seeing if this changes anything. Or try the above workarounds and ignore for now. 

    Let me know if this works for you or if you need additional help.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times now, but I get the same result.

    Here is what I see when I search for the "trust all content". Am I in the wrong place?

    So I downloaded and installed the new compiler but am still receiving the same error. I followed the instruction on the error message on how to register it through with CCS. CCS recognized there was a new compiler, I went through the register process, and restarted. Does it matter what the directory is?

    Connor,

    I've installed the same version of Code Composer Studio that you have (12.1.0.00007) to check, and in my preferences I have a tab labeled "trust" that you do not. I am not sure why you do not have it. 

    As for downloading the compiler from the link that I provided: I see that you are pointing out the MSP430 TI v21.6.1LTS. The version you should download is v4.4.8. Are you saying that you are unable to download that version from the link that I provided? It can be found at the bottom of the scroll-menu labeled "select a version".

    For your question about the directory, it shouldn't matter where you install the compiler, as long as you provide the directory to CCS so it can find the compiler.

    Also, I want to clarify that I was suggesting you download the latest version of code composer studio. If all of the above steps are failing, this may change things for you.

    Let me know if you need additional clarification.

    Hi Dylan, 

    Yes, sorry I downloaded the wrong files. I followed your link and downloaded and installed v4.4.8, and it seems to work now. Thank you for your help.
