CCS 4.0, MSP430 free edition, failed to match a default include file

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F247, MSP430F2274

I am a newcomer to CCS/CCE. Today I just installed the free edition to have a try. I created a new project, set the target as MSP430F247, add a main.c file which contains:

#include <msp430.h>

void main(void){}

I cannot compile the project, getting an error : failed to match a default include file. If i change the <msp430.h> to <msp430x2xx.h> then everything is OK. What could I do?

Hi matianfu,

I would recommend using the TI code examples as a starting point; you can find them here http://focus.ti.com/mcu/docs/mcuprodcodeexamples.tsp?sectionId=96&tabId=1468.

In addition, I would recommand you to take a look at CCS wiki - the CCS new project guide: http://wiki.msp430.com/index.php/Category:MSP430_Getting_Started

I was having that same problem. You need to define the MSP type for the project. You would think it would do that for you when you select the target when creating the project. Select the project, go to Project ->Properties in this dialog select "C/C++ Build" in the tree on the left. Under Tool Settings -> MSP430 Compiler v3.1-> General Options. Here you can set your pre-defines. So for example I'm using the MSP430F2274 so I've added __MSP430F2274__ as a pre-defined value. You can look in the msp430.h file to find the value you need to add here for your MSP430. You could have of course added a #define at the beginning of your file also.
