CCS debugging and others.....

I worked with MPS 430UIF farly so far. Version is updated.

Now i have dared to create a new project with CCS and i have problems. CCS seems to be very cumbersome. For ex. when i lunch CCS it shows me workspaces no more existing. Can the workspace contain more projects? What is .metadata directory? Every project must have it?

Anyway, if i can load a project and build it, and the i go to target and debug active project,  when finished i cannot run or manage the program, the target menu is gray.

I now that i start from scratch may be i will succed in working again but this is not the right way.

    i've found the right way to proceed.

    Each project must have its .metadata directory; I create a directory MPS430_PROJECTS in wich i create sub directories project1, project2....  ;

    then i open CCS with working space pointing to project1, 2 or else. If i want to debug more then 1 project, a simply open a new instance of CCS, a deactivate one project and activate the other.

    I spent more time to put order in projects management than doing the hardware and software of my board.

    Enzo,

    I would suggest taking a look at the CCSv4 wiki which contains a lot of great material on getting started with CCS.
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v4

    Specifically, check the Getting Started section, in which I would recommend starting with "Eclipse Concepts" and "CCSv4 Getting Started Guide".
