CODECOMPOSER: Project includes when importing legacy project

David Ross

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

I am working on our legacy code and need to be able to build it in CCSV12.

I did it once, but didn't make notes, now I am doing it again to document the difficult-to-navigate TI websites and tools for following engineers.

I can't for the life of me see how to 'enable' the include path in the Project Explorer's 'Includes' view. I see the correct --include_path switch in the compiler command and I know the files are in the right place but the path is 'greyed out' in the 'Includes' view and there is no obvious way to 'refresh' it.

Advice?

    Hello,

    Grey-ed out paths in the "Includes" virtual folder typically means that CCS was unable to resolve that path. Can you confirm that those paths physically exist in those locations?

    Thanks

    Yes, the folders exist - now!

    I installed CCSV12 first and then began working through compile and link issues for the existing project file from our repo.

    I downloaded and installed the 'greyed-out' targets as I went, but even though the folders are definitely there the tool hasn't automatically detected them and they remain 'greyed-out'.

    I was able to resolve the first by going here and adding in the hard code full path, not using the {CC5xxCSL} project variable:

    I would rather have a way to 'refresh' the existing project references.

    Thanks.

    What the variable properly defined?

    If you select a project and press F5, it should refresh it. You can also try closing and reopening the project (both options are in the context menu for the project in Project Explorer)
