CCSv4 error: The Managed Make project file for project DALI_ROOT is missing

Sven Bex

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to make a project with the DALI protocol and seeying MSP430G2 launchpad had a great example I tried to use it.

This is my first time really using MSP430G2 and CCS, and when I tried to import the project in CCS version 4.2.4 I got the following Error pop-up: 

"The Managed Make project file could not be read because of the following error:

The Managed Make project file for project DALI_ROOT is missing.

Managed Make functionality will not be available for this project."

I also tried opening it with CCS version 6.0.0 without errors (just a warning that the project was made on an older version, although it doesn't seem to build).

Is there is a way to fix the error in 4.2.4 or to make the file compile in version 6.0.0 (seems to be some files missing)

In case it is useful information:
-I have a windows7 64 bit OS
-http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slaa422a/slaa422a.pdf (link of the DALI project, file is on page 11)

    Hi,

    The project was created for CCSv5 and newer, therefore incompatible with previous releases.

    I then imported the project in my CCSv6 using the "Copy projects into the workspace" option and the project built just fine, therefore I am unsure what may be happening in your particular case. Perhaps when you first tried to import the project to v4.2.4 it got corrupted? Try to unzip the project again from the original .zip file and re-import it to v6.

    If you intend to use CCSv4.2.4, then I would re-create the project from scratch, using the CCSv6 correctly imported project as a base for all the linked files/folders and build options. Obviously that, if you stay on CCSv6 you will save yourself from all this work of re-creating the project.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Hi Sven,

    how did you import the project.   I just imported it into ccsv6 and built and it builds without errors.   So I am not sure what you are trying.  Did you import using Project->Import existing eclipse/ccs project?

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Thx for the responce,

    I tried CCS v4 since that was what MSP launchpad guide told me to do, and I thought it would work (rookie mistake)

    But now that I've redownloaded and re-imported the program it seems to build again in CCS v6.

    On another note, now I keep getting the "Could not find MSP-FET430UIF on specified COM port" error, could this be caused by multiple CCS versions?

    Hi Sven,

    some things to check

    - try a different port, or if you are using a hub, plug directly in

    - do you see the device enumerating without error in the device manager?

    - did ccs ask for any updates ?   For the eZ tools it should not.

    Best Regards,

    LIsa

    Hey Lisa, thank you for your responce,

    I seem to be able to debug the program from my desktop now, but I get some project error.

    But since it's getting really off topic now, I am going to make a new topic.

    Thank you both for your help.
