CCS/MSP430F5528: Problems going from CCS6 to CCS7

Part Number: MSP430F5528

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I had a project working (compiling) with CCS6 but my Hi Res screen caused issues of crazy-small icons and text not fitting in space provided. I was able to install CCS7 (using a response file) and that fixed the icon and text size issues.

Then I then tried to open the working CCS6 project from CCS7, it seemed to open fine but I have been unable to compile with an error of Program "make" is not found in PATH. I tried going back to opening the project in CCS6 but I now have the same error as in CCS7.

Thoughts:

1) Am I allowed to have CCS6 and CCS7 installed side by side on the same PC?

2) The actual project is cloned from github, is that a possible cause of the issue?

Hi Ted,

There is no issues with having multiple version of CCS installed side by side on the same PC - as long as they are installed in separate directories.

Regarding your build error, please take a look at the link below regarding the PATH variable and see if this helps:

Ki,

Thanks for the reply. Should the system be looking for a 'make' or a 'gmake'? I thought the entry in the

I find gmake.exe files in various places in the CCS7 folders but no make.*

CCS should use gmake under the hood.

Are you using the same workspace folder that you used with CCSv6? If so, try the suggestion from Rafael in the thread below:
e2e.ti.com/.../564057

workspaces should not be shared between different CCS versions, especially major revision numbers.
