MSP430Ware not showing up in Resource Explorer

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Hi,

I just downloaded Code Composer Studios version 6 and using the App Center, I also downloaded MSP430Ware, GUI Composer, and TI-RTOS for msp430. 

When I go to the TI Resource Explorer page, I can see the TI-RTOS for MSP430 folder, but there is no folder for MSP430Ware as the driverlib User Guide said there would be. I can see that MSP430Ware is installed as a product in the TI RTOS installation, but it doesn't seem like Code Composer Studios looks for it there.

Is there anything I can do to make the Resource Explorer find MSP430Ware?

I also want to use the driver library for msp430ware in my TI RTOS project. How can I get msp430ware to show up on the RTSC page as a product to select? Or do I have to manually import them into the project?

Thanks for the help.

    Hi Robert,

    can you send more details, perhaps screen captures?

    I just opened my ccsv6 and went to help->welcome to ccs->Browse examples.  The resource explorer opened and for me mspWare is in the drop down.  

    One thing to check might be interference due to antivirus or permissions.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,

    Perhaps this indicates something, but I don't have the help->welcome to ccs option. Attached is a screenshot of the Resource Explorer which I access by going to View->Resource Explorer(Examples):

    As you can see, the only available examples are for the TI-RTOS, there is nothing available for  MSP430Ware.

    I ended up importing the MSP430Ware that is available in the TI_RTOS products folder and ultimately got that to work, but I don't know why CCS can't find it on its own.

    Hi Robert,

    how did you bring in msp430Ware?   Did you select it at installation?   Like I said, my v6 isntallation has it in the drop down.

    What if you remove the rtos link from the address?  Do you have the release of v6 or a beta?  This is another possible explanation as some packages were incorporated across the beta releases.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Lisa,

    I didn't bring in msp430ware at installation, I just did a basic install and then afterwards downloaded it along with TI-RTOS via the CCS App Center. After that, the only installation of msp430ware that I could find was in the TI-RTOS installation. So, at first, what I did was import msp430ware which was located at:

    c:/ti/CCS Version 6/tirtos_msp430_2_00_01_23/products/MSP430Ware_1_80_01_03a/driverlib/MSP430F5xx_6xx

    This allowed me to use the drivers, but MSP430ware still did not show up in the Resource Explorer.

    Then, what I eventually did was download the standalone package of msp430ware and installed it at c:/ti. Once I did that, CCS 6 detected it and added it to the Resource Explorer.

    Will the Resource Explorer only detect packages that are installed at c:/ti? That seems like a bad idea especially since there are products that are installed in the TI-RTOS location. Also, when CCS detects new updates and installs them, where will they be installed?

    Thanks.

    Hi Robert,

    ok, glad you got it set up.   Normally CCS should look in any directory listed in Window->Preference->Code Composer Studio->RTSC->Products
