Porting project from MSP430 to Tiva

Hi,


I have code running on an MSP430 Launchpad that I would like to port to a Tiva Launchpad. My first thought was to change the project's family and microcontroller, recompile, and fix porting issues as I find them. But I can't find a way in CCS 6 to change the family.

Is there a way? If not, what would you recommend for porting the project? In a pinch, I could create a new project and copy all the source files over, but that seems clumsy.


Thanks,

   Bob

    Hi Bob,

    There is a way, but it is not recommended. That is why in the properties, the option to change the family is greyed out.

    This is actually the best option.

    Thanks

    You can manually edit the project meta files (specifically .ccsproject and .cproject) but these are generated files and you really need to know what you are doing. It is too easy to break the whole project.
