How do I copy a workspace

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8301, TMS320F28035, CONTROLSUITE

Good Day, 

I am an undergrad student in electrical engineering and I am new to the TI CCS in environment. 

I have a DRV8301 dev board with a Piccolo TMS320f28035 control card. Control suit offers some demo projects, instaSpin_BLDC and Gui,  to get started which I have finished. I did all the build steps and understand how the hardware work and most of the software works. What I want now is a guide on how to set up a CCS project for this board.

I would like to make my own project and rename it but keep most of the files/settings from TI example projects. I tried simply rename the project which threw errors  and making a new project and importing files also doesn't work. I feel I may be doing some things wrong.

If anyone has a better guide to setting up workspaces/projects for the DRV8301 and piccolo microcontrollers or can point me in the right direction this would be appreciated. 

Regards,

    Christian,

    Workspaces are really a personal thing and you can't really copy them around. You can export settings from them (CCS environment settings). Projects on the other hand can typically be copied ok.

    The fundamentals workshops for CCS are a good place to start. It will explain a lot of the basic concepts in CCS. There is one for F2802x which is pretty close to what you are using.

    One thing that should work for controlSUITE projects is copying. If you import a controlSUITE project into your workspace and then right click and select copy and then paste it will create a copy of the project. I find that the copies build fine.

    controlSUITE projects have most of the source files located in the project folder but there are a view items that are "linked". This files will show up with little arrow icons on them. You have to be careful with linked files as if you move your project around, sometimes CCS will not be able to find the files.

    Regards,
    John

    Thank you John,

    I did not realise I can copy the project and just paste it in CCS. This is kind of what I was looking for. I really want to dive into this so thanks for the workshop link and I will take a look at it.

    Regards and Merry Christmas.
