CCS5: Portable project question

David Aldrich

We will store and share our CCS5 project using Subversion. I have followed the instructions about Portable Projects in the wiki. But I’m confused about the project files. I expected to see a file something like <project_name>.pjt, but I just see .project, .ccsproject etc.

How do I identify a particular project file in my subversion repository? Or, in other words, if I store a project ‘portably’ in svn, how does another developer open it?

Best regards

David,

Since CCSv4/5 are based on Eclipse, the project files are multiple Eclipse project files and not a single .pjt file (as was the case with CCS 3.x). This FAQ tells you which files should be checked into source control: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/FAQ_-_CCSv4#Q:_Which_project_files_do_I_need_to_check_into_source_control.3F
This was written for CCSv4, the files for CCSv5 are slightly different - .ccsproject, .cproject, .project and .settings folder. If another developer wants to open a project, they would check out all the above files and then import the project into CCS.

Hope this helps.

David,

A project in CCSv5 is not defined by a particular file (.pjt), but instead by the subdirectory (usually named after the project) that contains the .project, .ccsproject, etc. and optionally source files. Check section 6.1 of the page below for details:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Eclipse_Concepts

Different developers then must check out the project and then "import" it into their own workspaces, thus allowing CCS to properly recognize it.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Rafael Thanks for your answer - it helped me. I think I have setup my project wrongly because I saved it in my Subversion working copy under trunk/Source. So I have files trunk/Source/.cproject etc. I guess I should have made a new subdirectory /trunk/Source/myprojectname and stored the project there? David

David,

Yes, that would have been preferrable, as at the time of checkout the subdirectory would be named after your project.

Cheers,

Rafael
