Device Variant currently not recognized - TMS320C28XX.TMS320F28335

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28335

Hi Guys,

we are trying Code Composer Studio 4.2.2.00033 on several PCs (All Win7, 64Bit). We used the same installer files for all three machines and did no updates on any of them.
We have our Workspace in a Subversion-Repository.

On the First Computer, everything goes well, the Project compiles without errors in CCS and all is fine. 

However, on both the two other machines (laptops), when we try to EITHER open the existing workspace as is OR import the existing workspace from the Subversion-directory into a fresh, clean workspace, the project does not compile.

We get the following error message:

"This project was created for a device-variant that is not currently recognized: TMS320C28XX.TMS320F28335. Please install the device-variant descriptor, or migrate the project to one of the supported device-variants"

What is wrong here? As said, it is the same CCS Version everywhere and it perfectly compiles and runs on the first computer.
If we create a new project on one of the "faulty" machines and import all the source files (which there are many of) by hand, it compiles, but this is not a feasible option for us, since we need to use SVN.

Do you have any recommendations or fixes for this issue? It's a bit annoying when three people can only work on one machine xD

Best regards and many thanks from Switzerland!

    Are you sure it is the exact same version of CCS on all the 3 machines and that none of them have any updates that could've changed the version? There was an issue with older versions of CCS v4 (v4.0.x) that would cause such errors but it should be fixed in 4.2.2.

    Other suggestions would be to try cleaning your workspace or trying out a new workspace (a related thread is http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/163942.aspx).
    If the above suggestions, as well as restarting CCS do not help, unfortunately, my next recommendation would be to try reinstalling CCS.

    Hi, thanks for your answer!

    Jup, same CCS on all machines. No updates. Same installer/install routine on all three machines. 

    The error also occurs if we do not use SVN, but a plain memory stick instead (to carry the workspaces around)

    The other thread you linked in didn't help / we do not have their "typo" error in the files. 

    Yah, we re-installed it several times... :-/

    I think we might just have to live with it...
