How to link driverlib to a new project MSP430?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438A, MSP430WARE

Hi

I am using the latest version of code composer studio (v5.3) , code size limited version and i cannot find an option to link the driverlib folder to my new project. When i right click the project and add files i do not get an option to link files.

Can someone explain how to get all the drivers for the peripherals for msp430 (i am using msp430f5438a) and all the include paths into a new project.

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Shreyank,

    libraries are added in the linker file search path options.  Linked files use path variable not build variables. This wiki has some details:

    Please keep us informed whether that helps or whether you have further specific questions.

    Best regards,

  • Hi Shreyank,

    just thought I would check for any updates with your enquiry.

  • Guru (Lisa:) I am having the same issue. I want to include Drivelib into a new project. I have seen the video and wiki page. What would help is a simple, focused "How To Include Driverlib into MSP430 project" response. Instructibles-like. Can someone provide?
  • Solved! The step by step for either creating a new project with driverlib, or adding to existing, is documented in chapters 3 and 4 (respectively) in the MSP430 Driverlib Users Guide. I installed MSP430ware as standalone and imported from there. The MSP430 Design Workshop Student Guide, Lab 3, has a great example. Tip: if cutting and pasting APIs from the Driverlib Users Guide,  don't forget those underscores. 

  • I'm experiencing a similar issue in Chapter 3. I have mspware430 installed (both locally and through CCS). But when I pop up the "Apply Project emplate" page, I don't see any available templates. Any suggestions on how to readd this?
