Specific instructions to import a ControlSuite project (F2803x, V1.26, CCS4 project)

HI Mike,

Have you tried importing the example from the resource explorer right in CCS?  Do you have the latest control suite?  What errors/issues do you see?  How have you been importing the example(s)?

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I just downloaded ControlSuite two days ago, it is version 3.0.1

When in Code Composer 5, I select import existing project (I uncheck copy into workspace option).

During the project import a window pops up that say " project conversion failed for project / Example_2803xHRPWM_MultiCh_PrdUpDown_SFO-V6 with the following error: / Error loading Managed Make project information for project / Example_2803xHRPWM_MultiCh_PrdUpDown_SFO-V6. The tool definitions used to create the project are not available"

This example project is located in  "  C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\f2803x\v126\DSP2803x_examples_ccsv4  "

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

the problem is that it is likely not finding the same compiler version used to create the example.  What compiler versions do you see in your installation?

You can check this in Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Code Generation Tools and compare it to v4.  (Same but instead of Code Composer Studio in v4 it is CCS).

If you had been working previously with v4 and still have it installed you can point v5 to the v4 code generation folders.

Pleas keep us informed.

Best Regards,
Lisa

So really, I should just use Code Composer 4 if I want to use Control Suite? 

I am never going to start a project from scratch, nor do I think anyone else does either. And since none of the examples actually works with CodeComposer 5, unless I have the compiler from CodeComposer4 installed (whats the cost on having both IDEs?), I should just abandone CCS5 and stick with CCS4.

You need to tell the product managers of CCS5 and ControlSuite to go for coffee.

I have a similar problem, but with the F28335 peripheral explorer board. I pulled down the excellent workshop material, and when I run the labs, I found a few things:

1. I need to have support code installed in C:\tidcs\c28\DSP2833x  AND found that all of the projects were built with v1.31, and I have 1.32 & 1.33.

2. Changed include file pointers for the labs to point at the 1.33 stuff.

3. Then, I had to unlink and relink several files (for several labs) to point at the supporting files.

I would recommend that someone go through the Excellent lab material, and create a version for CCS5.  Thanks.

I have both Code Composer Studio v5.2.0.00069 and controlSUITE v3.0.0 (not v3.0.1 but unlikely to have an impact).

When importing the following example, which I believe you targeted, I did not get the same error.

C:\Projects\controlSUITE\device_support\f2803x\v126\DSP2803x_examples_ccsv4\hrpwm
Project->Import Existing CCS Eclipse Project
Select search-directory : <CONTROLSUITE_INSTALL_DIR>\device_support\f2803x\v126\DSP2803x_examples_ccsv4
Select Discovered projects : Example_2803xHRPWM
Build Project

Is this the approach you used?  If not, what did you do differently?

Hi Michael,

could you please try reposting?   Your response to Brandon seems to be blank.

Hi Michael,

glad you managed to figure things out and thanks for the update.

All the best with development.

Lisa
