Code composer Studio V4 and simpliciti sample programs

Hi Vidya,

how did you import the SimpliciTI project?  Did you try without selecting "copy project into workspace?  Did you double check the path and include options and variables?  Please see this wiki on how to do this.  The error seems to indicate that a path or build variable or include path is missing or incorrect.

Please keep us informed.

Dear Lisa, 

first thank you for your response. I did try without selecting "copy project into workspace"? Result: It says invalid project description(as shown in the figure). I had to stick on to checking this option, otherwise I couldnt copy projects to workspace. 

Also the path variable, I have followed exact instructions, "enable linked resources" then Path name "dev_root" and locating to exact path(also shown in the figure)

Best, 

vidya

Hi Vidya,

I would like to try to reproduce this.  Can you please confirm which exact CCS version you use?  Also which SimpliciTI version and example?  I recommend ensuring that you use the latest version of all tools.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Dear Lisa, 

Thank you for very customer friendly support. Its CCS Version: 4.2.5.00005. SimpliciTI windows installer 

 from TI which can found in ti wiki in the following link: http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/SimpliciTI_RF_Stack/1_x_x_5/index_FDS.html

After a heavy struggle to clear the problem, I have recently updated my CCS (so it means I had also problem before updating CCS), which you have suggested in other links for similar problem.

Kind regards, 

Vidya. 

Hi Vidya,

I could not get SimpliciTI from your link, but had no problem importing an example from SimpliciTI found here:

http://www.ti.com/tool/simpliciti

These were my steps

1 - downloaded the CCS version of SimpliciTI and installled

2 - imported an example.  Do not select "copy project into workspace".  You seem to have been doing this fine.

3 - Add DEV_ROOT.  Go to Window->Preferences->General->Workspaces->Linked Resources.   Add DEV_ROOT with the location being the top SimpliciTI folder as you seem to also know from the guide.

4 - I built with no errors.

Please try this and keep us informed.  I suspect the problem might be your SimpliciTI version/installation.

Best Regards,

LIsa

Dear Lisa, 

thank you for writing. I am working with EXP5438 experimenter board connected with CC2530. All I want to do is to create Zigbee communication between two such modules as shown in the following link: http://www.ti.com/lit/wp/slyy022/slyy022.pdf. I would like to extend this communication with SGI board from TI, which will part of my thesis.  

With the simpliciti code from the link http://www.ti.com/tool/simpliciti, you know there is no sample code for EXP5438 board. Sample codes on SimpliciTI were only in the latest version of SimpliciTI which are provided in Wiki TI Link (TI Wiki was under maintenance during last week but I think you will able to access the link now)

You can access the same here in this link where you can find sample simpliciTI for EXP5438 boards: http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/SimpliciTI_RF_Stack/1_x_x_5/index_FDS.html

I am not quite sure if the problem is from SimpliciTI. I am always making sure to add path exactly as you say, but it doesnt help. 

I am really thankful for your support. 

Best Regards,

Vidya 

Dear Lisa, 

thanks for writing. I have trouble right with the first step itself. When I try to load a project (without option 'copy project into workspace'), it gives an error message invalid project description. In the details the following is shown:

Invalid project description.
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\vkanta\Desktop\Simpli\Projects\Examples\EXP430F5438\Simple_Peer_to_Peer\CCS\Project overlaps the location of another project: Project

All what I have done is to install simpliciti on the desktop (also tried with default path but error occurs always) and follow instructions exactly specified in literature SimpliciTI Sample Application User’s Guide Document Number: SWRA243.

Thank you. 

Best regards ,

Vidya.

Hi Vidya,

great, very glad to hear and thanks for the update.  All the best with development.

Best Regards,
