Import of StellarisWare project with option "Copy project into workspace" active

Hello,

I'm trying to import StellarisWare version 5570 project into Code Composer Studio 4.1.0.02006 on Windows XP using Project->Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project with "Copy projects into workspace" option active (I would like to managed source and binaries in the same place). Unfortunately I have some problems. First, source files are not copied into workspace. Second there is no way to import "/inc", "/utils" and the rest of directories from StellarisWare package which are relevant to compile process. What is the right way to do this?

Thank you for advise.

Richard

    I would suggest not copying the project into the workspace. I think the StellarisWare directory structure has some dependences on where the paths are and it is probably best to leave the project in the original location. The binaries will be generated in that location also.

    Hi Ki,

    Thank you for your clarification. Is this the final behavior for CCS 4? The current implementation breaks the Eclipse workspace idea known from another Eclipse based IDEs. Also now it is impossible (or pretty tricky) to develope own project using StellarisWare libs like driverlib, (after import without coping you are loosing access to .h files). By the way another Eclipse based IDE from CodeSourcery can import StellarisWare with one click. Overall I like CCS 4 very much, and it is on the way to be the best IDE for Stellaris ARM processors, just currently it is difficult to use it with  Stellaris development kits and software. From my point of view it need very little to fix it, just allow to import all artifacts including /inc and /drivers folder from StellarisWare and fix includes paths. I will be very happy it this could be planned for the future upgrades.

    Regards, richard

    Hi Richard,

    You're right, CCSv4's support of having project files outside the workspace is a deviation of standard concept of Eclipse projects and workspaces. However we still support the original implemetation also. We simply support both methods. CCSv3 users were used to a certain project format and the Eclipse way of handling it was a big change and something many legacy users did not like.

    It's hard for me to comment on how will CCSv4 plays with StellarisWare in terms of creating and maintaing project and which option is best since I don't have a whole lot of experience.  Looks like in the Quick Start Guide, the 'Copy project to workspace' option is not enabled. While I don't have a whole lot of experience, I know there are others who do, hopefully they can chime in on this thread and give their input.

    Thanks
