CCSv6.1.1 error: Perspective org.eclipse.cdt.ui.CPerspective cannot be found.

I couldn't open C/C++ perspective and neither could I set it up from the Preference window.  And I have found the following from the error log file:

!MESSAGE The command did not complete successfully. 
!STACK 0
org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: Perspective org.eclipse.cdt.ui.CPerspective cannot be found.

Is there anything I can do to fix it, or do I have to reinstall CCSV6.1.1 from scratch?

Also, I don't know if it is because of this problem, I don't see my project properties (basically ".cproject" file contents: include paths, SYS/BIOS version, CGT version, etc...) after I imported my CCSv5.5 based project to CCSv6.1.1.
Can you also give me a hint on importing legacy project (from v5.5 to v6.1.1) tips?

Thanks,

  • Hi Louis,
    The C/C++ Perspective is still part of v6. But we default to the CCS Edit Perspective. Any reason why you are interested in the C/C++ Perspective?

    As for the error, what host OS are you using>? And have you tried cleaning your workspace?

    Can you show a screenshot of the issue regarding your project properties?

    Importing v5 projects into v6 should be fairly straightforward. You treat it as an existing CCS Eclipse project.

    Thanks

  • Here is the screen shot of the CCS window with my imported project (Phoenix):

    Also, when I try to open a file to edit, it automatic opens up another editor (in my case, VIM) in another window, instead of inside CCS.  Is there a place that I can set up in the "Preferences" manual and make the default editor back to CCS IDE instead of a 3rd party editor?

    In the older CCS v5.5, I used to be able to click on the small triangle next to the file and open up the file outline.  In the new CCS v6, I am not able to do so.

    Here is the screen shot for the project properties... note that I lost all the include path, file optimization setup, CGT, SYS/BIOS, XDSTools setup.  I am not sure if I have imported the project correctly...!?

    Screen shot for Opening Perspective...  I am looking for what you said the "Edit Perspective".  Is it the same as "Resource" Perspective?


    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks for your help,

  • Louis - something looks very wrong with your environment. First of all, you are in the 'Resource' perspective, which is not one of the default CCS perspectives. Second, the CCS Edit, CCS Debug, CCS Simple perspectives are missing:

    It seems like you are missing some components in your install. How did you install CCSv6.1? and how are you launching it?

    Thanks

  • I had installed CCSv6.0 many months ago, but I haven't been using it, as it was still buggy back then. And we recently have decided to give it a try for v6.1.1. So, I restarted CCSv6.0. It then discovered there is the latest version of CCS and did the update to v6.1.1.
    I launch it just the same way by clicking the CCSv6 icon. Is there any difference that I have to locate the v6.1.1 application and start implicitly from there?
    Thanks,

  • No, it sounds like everything you are doing is fine. Unfortunately it sounds like your installation may have gotten corrupted when you updated to 6.1.1. My apologies for that. I think it is best to simply reinstall CCSv6.1.1 from scratch into a clean new directory.

  • I got that working after a fresh installation. Thanks Ki for your help.
