CCS 6.1.3 cannot find file "rts430.lib"

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ26100EVM

I recently downloaded CCS 6.1.3.00034 and installed everything. But each time I try to run "MSP430F2xx_bq26100EVM" found in http://www.ti.com/analog/docs/litabsmultiplefilelist.tsp?literatureNumber=slva413a&docCategoryId=1&familyId=412 I run into an error called "cannot find file "rts430.lib""

My CCS fresh install with everything does not have it. Here is a picture showing that:

How can this be fixed?

Thank you!,

  • Hello,
    the project was originally created using MSP430 compiler 3.2.1 and outputting COFF format. But CCSv6 comes with a compiler version much greater (15.12.x) which does not support COFF (only ELF). The rts430.lib is for COFF while rts430_eabi.lib is for ELF. You can either choose to install an older version of the MSP430 compiler that supports COFF (up to v4.x) or migrate the project to use ELF.

    Thanks

  • I tried the migrate function but it failed. It still gave me the same issue. But using a older version of CCS worked. Thank you!
