Importing existing project to CCSv6

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

I cloned the master branch of the Mongoose repo and when I try to import the CC3200 example projects into CCS it fails with the following error:

See details below. 
Error: Import failed for project 'MG_hello' because its compiler definition is not available. The project does not appear to be a 'CCS Project'. Please try importing it through the 'General > Existing Projects into Workspace' wizard.
Error: Import failed for project 'Mongoose' because its compiler definition is not available. The project does not appear to be a 'CCS Project'. Please try importing it through the 'General > Existing Projects into Workspace' wizard.

Strangely enough one of the projects (MG_sensor_hello) imports successfully. I've tried importing it as an existing project but that just gives me an error and displays that I should import the project as a CCS project. 

CCS version: 6.1.3.00033 

Board: CC3200 Launchpadxl

  • Abbas,

    I downloaded the zip archive for the Mongoose project (rather than cloning the repo) and was able to import all 3 projects into CCS 6.1.3 without the errors you reported. I also have similar versions of ARM Compiler tools installed as you do. Here is a screenshot of my Windows->Preferences menu.

    The relevant one here is v5.2.x version which you appear to have installed as well, so I'm not sure why are you seeing the error.

    Did you make sure to restart CCS after installing the v5.2.7 compiler tools into CCS 6.1.3?

  • I figured out what the issue was. The Mongoose project has MSP432 examples also with the same name (Mongoose and MG_Hello). At first I was accidentally importing those and it failed to import. After the failure when I tried to import the CC3200 examples I would still get the same error. I guess the failed MSP imports left some changes in the metadata
