    Kaka,

    A blanket statement is very difficult to make, but in general there are not many issues in migrating project from such environments, but the scenario changes radically if:
    - you are using C54x devices - they were removed in v6
    - your main debug platform is a simulator - they were removed in v6

    Apart from that, other minor issues may get in the way of a seamless migration such as different compiler versions, as well as TI-RTOS, SYSBIOS or DSP/BIOS - fortunately CCSv6 is compatible with most of the versions used by CCSv5, especially if you are using 5.4 or 5.5.

    Compiler versions can be installed via the Update feature of CCS: check section 3 of the page below:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Updating_CCSv6

    TI-RTOS, SYSBIOS or DSP/BIOS can be downloaded form the CCS App Center (menu View --> CCS App Center).

    One additional detail is that CCS versions can be installed in the same PC, provided you select a different install directory and use a different workspace. This way you can migrate the project step-by-step.

    Additional considerations can be seen at:

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
