Compiler/CC3100BOOST: TI Compiler version error message

Part Number: CC3100BOOST


Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

I'm trying to build the "getting_started_with_wlan_station" project with Code Composer Studio (v6.1 ,6. 2 and 7) but i get the error message as follows:

This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed: 4.3.1 [MSP430]. 

But even after updating the compiler I get the same error message.


Kindly help on the same.

Regards,

Sushmitha R

    That's because updating the compiler gets you the latest version, probably 16.9.1.LTS.  Version 4.3.1 is nearly 3 years old.  I suggest you go ahead and build this project with the latest version of the compiler.  While nothing is guaranteed, it will probably work just fine.  

    Thanks and regards,

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

     I'm currently using the latest CCS version 7 to build the project but getting the same error message.

    Sushmitha,

    Did you actually install the MSP430 compiler version 4.3.1? Let me tell you the steps I went through for a successful build.

    I observed the same error as you when I first imported the project into CCSv7 and tried to build with with the existing compiler tools (16.9.0.LTS). This is because the project was originally created to build with compiler 4.3.1 and the compiler included with CCSv7 is incompatible due to some changes in compiler options.
    To fix the isue, I went to menu Help->Install New Software, selected Code Generation Tools Updates in the drop-down list, then selected MSP430 compiler 4.3.1 and went through the installation.


    After installation, the project was set to build with this version and the build was successful. 


    Did you go through the same steps?
