CCS5 Could not open .out file

Chase Roberts

I just got a launchpad and I have tried to run three different TI programs on it. When I debug, it can't find any .out file. I am able to build the project successfully but when I debug I get this error:

MSP430: GEL: Encountered a problem loading file: \\ROBERTS-HP\Users\Mom & Dad\Dropbox\blinky\Debug\blinky.out Could not open file

I have tried to move the directory of my project and just can't seem to get past this error.
Thanks for any help.

    Chase,

    Usually the build will fail if you are using a UNC path (i.e. \\ROBERTS-HP...).  If you look in the folder is the .out actually there?  If not check the console view when you build and I would expect there it be an error regarding using UNC paths.

    Regards,

    I think I got it. I switched user accounts because I think the spaces in "Mom & Dad" were throwing off the path. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Yes there is one reason if you have switched place. But there is also one possibilities that when we compile file, or project, it gives us warning messages., but in console I have observed that some time assembler could produce errors at assembly level. Because of those errors the .out could not be generated, and gives the same error.

    I have also faced the same error and tried to rectify with reading e2e. but when i read log file I came to know that the .out is not generated by assembler so is the reason for not able to search for .out.


    Thanks,
