Importing a CCS Project Fails

David Bauske

Hello,

i recently got a CCS-Project from an external partner (which means I did not create it myself).

When I try to import it into CCS (via File -> Import -> Code Composer Studio -> Existing CCS Eclipse Projects), it gives me the following error:

Error: Import failed for project '...' 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.

When I try to import it as an existing Project as suggested by the message, it further yells at me:

Please use the 'Code Composer Studio > Existing CCS Eclipse Projects' wizard to import the project '...'.

I looked into the project files and found out that it needed C2000 compiler v 6.1.0, which was installed and was shown in Window -> Preferences -> Code Composer Studio -> Build -> Compilers.

I tried all this with both CCS 5.3.0 and 5.5.0 on two different machines.

I will attach the .project, .cproject and .ccsproject files.

Thanks in advance for your help!

David,

sorry, it seems your project was packed incorrectly (project folder is empty almost, source code is absent). Try to request your partner that he will pack again according this link

Hi David,

I would certainly follow Igors advice, as it does seem this project is not complete.

I also am writing on the thread to also just make you aware it might be good to know what ccs version was used to generate the project and also to make you aware ccs projects are not backwards compatible. In other words, a v5.5 project should not be expected to work in v5.3.

Please keep us inoformed.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hi,

the project folder actually is not empty, there are loads of source files, but I am not allowed to share them, so I just included the project meta files.

Best regards

Hi, David.

I see. Well, at least, I have imported your project into workspace through menu "File->Import->General -> Existing Projects into Workspace". But import was unsuccessful through menu "Project->Import Existing CCS Eclipse Projects".

Regards,

Igor

Hi,

nevermind, I got it working now. Apparently something went wrong while copying the files from the CD they came on. I just copied the files again and everything worked as expected :)

Thanks anyway for your help!
