True enough the device is a LMF120H5QR

While (perhaps) "True" - surely not, "True Enough!"

Might LM4F120H5QR improve results?

Hi Mac,

Have you installed the Stellaris ICDI drivers? They can be found here.

Regards,

Sam

- Error- project was created for a device that is not currently recognized LMF120H5QR.

@Sam,

Might this error be outside ICDI issue?

Indeed your eyes are sharper than mine, I did not catch the missing 4 :) Whether that is the issue or a simple copy/paste typo remains to be seen...

"- Error- File connections/Stellaris_ICDI_Connection.xml does not exist" contained no such typo, pointing to a larger issue.

Time will tell!

My eyes sharper?  Doubtful.  (German Shepherd "pal" & ravages of time argue against...)

Indeed - likely typo - but "some" attention to detail IS required - and as that was flagged as ERROR... 

I'm 60 years old, dropping a 4 in a long string is the least my worldly worries, my apologies.

I hadn't installed the drivers, I have performed that operation now.

The build goes a lot farther now, but I still have one Error.

Hi Mac,

What operating system are you using?

Sam

Windows 7 Home Premium.

Here is the content of the target_config.ccxml file

Hi Mac,

Try creating a new file called Stellaris_ICDI_Connection.xml in C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\common\targetdb\connections. Put the following into it:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<connection id="Stellaris In-Circuit Debug Interface" class="31040">
    <connectionType Type="LM_ICDI"/>
    <property Type="hiddenfield" Value="No" id="dataFileRequired"/>
</connection>

Regards,

Sam

Thanks for staying with this for me.

I created the file above, still get the same error in the Error box, but in the blue bar at the top of every Windows program it says "CCS Edit-hello/target_config.ccxml Error: Trouble parsing include or instance xml file C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\common\targetdb\drivers\stellaris_cs_dap.xml(The system c...

SA,TX

As you're in San Antonio - and gmake lists a 1969 timestamp substitution as, "new/improved" - might you have unwittingly entered a key, Alamo date - somewhere w/in your build process?

In the '90's we sold to SWRI - have fond memories of that facility, nearby air-base & river-walk...

We use IAR - someway/somehow no such timestamp subs or other set-up gremlins have attacked our silicon fortress...

Hi Mac,

I'm going to move this thread over to our CCS forum. Hopefully they'll be able to provide further assistance.

Best of luck,

Sam

These are Stellaris device files which should exist in the CCS 5.4 installation. It sounds like Stellaris (ARM) device support hasn't been fully installed in CCS.

Can you run the CCS installer on the C:\ti directory to try and install support for the missing devices?

I think Chester is on the right track. It sounds like Stellaris device support files are either installed at all or some are missing.

As suggested by Chester, please re-run the CCS installer, select the same directory as your current installation and Custom installation, and add support for Stellaris and Tiva devices. Or to be even safer, uninstall your current installation (you can simply delete the directory where it was installed) and do a clean reinstall making sure to select the above device families.
