CCSV6.1.3 and Compiler version TI v4.2.1

How can I compile an old project, having a compiler version TI v4.2.1, in CCSv6.1.3?

  • Use Help -> Install New Software... and in the dialog:

    - Select Code Generation Tools Updates in the "Work with" combo box

    - Untick the "Show only the latest versions of available software"

    - Select MSP430 Compiler Tools 4.2.1 to be installed

    See Compiler Updates for more information.

  • Thank you, now I can compile the FW but it does not work correctly, any other things that I have to know in importing or compiling projects created with older ccs versions?
  • Did you make sure the project in CCS 6.1.3 is actually set to build with compiler 4.2.1 (Project Properties->General->Compiler version)? 

    If the compiler version and build options are the same, the build output should be the same even if the CCS version is different.

    Saying it does not work correctly is a very broad statement. You would need to further isolate and debug where and why it does not work as expected.
