Error when importing Projects

Lucas Sinopoli

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, CC2538, MSP430WARE

Hello,

I am having problems when trying to import existing projects into my workspace. I believe it is related with using a different compiler to the one it was used to initially create the project. Could you give me some advice on how to solve this?

Below is the error message:

Error: Import failed for project 'DSP28035_Test' because its compiler definition is not available. The project does not appear to be a 'CCS Project'. Please try importing it through the 'General > Existing Projects into Workspace' wizard.

Thanks,

Lucas

Hi Lucas,

please verify you import with project-import existing ccs/eclipse project

Also is this indeed a ccs project? You can check you installed compilers under window - preferences- code composer studio - build - code generation tools

I would recommend using the latest version 5.3. Is this the ccs version you use?

Please keep us informed.

Best Regards,

Lisa

When I import the example, I get a warning because the compiler versions don't match between what is installed and wha the proeject was originally built with.

"This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed: 5.2.6 [C2000]. Another version of the compiler will be used during build: 6.1.2. Please install the compiler of the required version, or migrate the project to one of the available compiler versions by adjusting project properties."

To eliminate this warning, I changed the proejct properties.

What would you suggest I change to more closely recreate the problem you see?

Hi Lisa, thanks for your reply.

I am importing with "project-import existing ccs/eclipse project"

It is a ccs project

I am using CCS v 5.3

Hi Jason,

The project I'm trying to import has been created by us using CCS 5.0, is not an example project from TI.

Here is a screenshot from the error when I try importing

Hi Lucas,

can you please send us the screenshot of your isntalled compilers? Did you select C2000 support when installing v5.3?

another thing we have seen is antivirus or permissions issues causes these types of things.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Lucas,

actually my colleague Jason makes a good point .. could you zip and send the project for us to try? Offline via a friend/conversation request is also a good option.

Best Regards,

Lisa

I think we discovered you were using Code Composer Studio v5.1. Which version specifically was it? v5.1.0 or v5.1.1? This will affect which version I install to try to recreate this problem. I will try this without TortoiseHg.

The version we used is 5.1.0.09

I successfully migrated a project from Code Composer Studio version 5.1.0 to version 5.3.0. I built the project in Code Composer Studio 5.1.0 and then made a copy of that project folder. I imported the proeject from the copied folder using Code Composer Studio 5.3.0. I then built it. There were no errors in both cases. The only warning was about the compiler version. This warning was eliminated by updating the project settings in each case.

Setup:

controlSUITE v3.1.3 - February 26, 2012
Project: FlashingLeds-F28035 (from controlSUITE)
IDE1: Code Composer Studio Version: 5.1.0.09000 (see 510.txt for installation details)

IDE2: Code Composer Studio Version: 5.3.0.00090 (see 530.txt for installatoin details)

I have attached the project folders. There are two. The first is the project after it was built using Code Composer Studio version 5.1.0. The second is the project after I had made a copy of the former project folder, then imported it using Code Composer Studio 5.3.0 and building it.

After looking at the project you shared, we discovered that the .cproject file seems to be corrupt – it contains one completely uninitialized build-configuration. Let's talk again to generate some ideas about how this could have happened.

Thanks for tracking the issue Jason!

I wouldn't be surprised if the file got corrupted by our source control software..

Hi Lucas,

yes that is certainly possible. It would be good to check into that. Both see what files get checked in and out, whether there could be any conflicts or permissions issue and whether there is anything unique to the corrupted projects. I would also see about plug-in necessity and/or compatibility.

I don't have visibility to your process, however, if these are first generated outside of source control, making a swap/import before putting into source control might be telling.

It appears the .cproject file contained a partial build configuration which was throwing ccs for a loop.

I am happy to continue offline tomorrow, but a caveat is that I am no revision control expert unfortunately.

Best Regards,
Lisa

What file types within the project are you committing for version control?

.c files
.h files

Any others?

I'd like to help you find a seemless solution that will work well between Code Composer Studio and your version control software.

TI__Guru*** 130875 points

Hi Lucas,

all project files (including the .ccsproject, .cproject etc file) need to be checked in and out. There are only really a couple exceptions

- target configuration files as developers may be using different emulators

- the build output found in the debug or release folder unless that is important to you but will be generated locally upon building/debugging

Please give that a try.

Best regards,
Lisa

We commit all files created by CCS (.ccsproject, .cdtbuild, .cdtproject, .project, .ccxml, .bat, cmd, etc). We don't commit the contents of Debug or Release folders though.

Lucas Sinopoli over 12 years ago in reply to Lisa TI

I'll try to get the people that works on the source control SW to take a look at the plug in, and after that I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the ideas.

Lucas

Hi Lucas,

those folders should not be the cause, but please do look into the cvs system and keep us informed.
