CODECOMPOSER: proper way to migrate CCS and SDK

WorkerBee

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

I was using CSS 12.7.1 and mspm0 2.1.0.03.
I had checked in my code, projects, and build... i figured it would be easy for someone else to pick up my project and continue, ran into many issues.

1) i can find older version of CSS at https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO where do i find older versions of sdk mspm0?
2) i would think if i have the .out file and the usb programmer, thats all that is needed to flash the chip, where is the way to do this without recompiling the project?
3) what is the proper way to import my project into CSS 20.2.0.12, i made a new workspace, and then import project, it mostly worked, but the debugger only works from some menu choices (can expand on this later)
4) what is the proper way to import my project from mspm0 2.1.0.03 to mspm0 2.5.1.00?  i did not see how to do this with menus, i tried manually doing it, but no luck.

thanks

    You can access all versions from: https://www.ti.com/tool/download/MSPM0-SDK

    Assuming you have a debug probe supported by CCS, you would want to do a project-less (manual) debug session: https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide_12.8.0/ccs_debug-main.html#manual-launch

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about migrating your project to the latest SDK version?

    Thanks

    i compiled a project using CSS12 and SDK 2.1, i checked that in.

    i told my coworker they could download CSS and the SDK to open my project. so they downloaded the latest CSS20 and SDK 2.5

    we ran into problems with both CSS version and SDK version...

    with CSS some methods of programming would say that the debugger issue, i'll have to recreate to give more data.
    with SDK, i still haven't found how to open the project when only 2.5 is installed

    What exactly are these issues?

    You can do a manual import to explicitly specify a project from a specific location.

    4)
    I can't say for sure, i started with a fresh computer and did the steps in a certain order and it mostly works.
    I can guess at some issues, i can't say for sure, but i suspect that I installed CSS and SDK, then imported the project, but CSS coudlnt find the SDK.  
    --> if you install ti tools to non default directories ex. c:\Tools\Ti instead of c:\ti.  the product discovery-path contains c:\Tools\Ti\ccs2020 and c:\ti but not c:\Tools\Ti (where i put the SDK)
    so i had installed the SDK after import and the project always was looking for SDK it was created with... thats my guess so this is annoying but not an issue.

    3) 
    i imported my project,
    it builds ok,
    Debugs (F5) ok
    but if i try to flash project Ctrl+F5 i get


    this seems strange as there is a d:\Work\Hardware...V01_5\.thea\launch.json file, but its not looking for  that, its looking for my folder.theia

    i searched e2e and it says its a known issue and resolved in 20.2.0 and it was resolved.
    i'm running just downloaded: Version: 20.2.0.12__1.8.0
    I had done some searching on e2e and tried some other things on my other pc, but didnt figure it out.  i think i had made a little progress but still saw issues .

    For #3, yes there was a known issue that was addressed in CCS 20.2.0. Perhaps your issue is different.

    Are you using a multi-root workspace environment? Can you provide the exact steps on how you imported your project? For example, explain if you copied the project to the workspace folder you imported from original location (creating a multi-root workspace environment).

    is there a private way to connect?  for sharing files or information?
    i created a word doc that explains the steps taken.

    i created in CSS12, SDK2.1

    I imported into CSS20, SDK2.5
    i imported from original location.

    You can start a private E2E conversation with me and attach your document there. You may need to zip the file first.
