CCS: Error Renaming Project - again

Dale,

I can't seem to reproduce this on my CCS 7.0. I imported the ProjectZero projects from SimpleLink Academy and renamed the project_zero_app_cc2650launchxl without any errors. One thing I found surprising in your screenshots is that the Project Explorer view shows both project_zero_app_cc2650launchxl and HaloLogger, when I would only expect only one of them to be there (project_zero_app_cc2650launchxl before the Rename and HaloLogger after the Rename) . 

Have you tried importing to a new workspace to see if that helps?

Same error on import to a new workspace.

That HaloLogger appeared on 2nd image, when the error appeared. It looks to me like the process was interrupted and left things in a incomplete state rather than reverting to original state.

I can email you my 5mb archive if you give me a address.

Hi Dale,

I encounter the same problem. The TI BLE Engineer recommends not to rename the example program at CCS. What is recommended is to rename it at projectspec.

What I do instead is right click copy the CCS Project and paste. It compiles without errors.

Hi kel,

Sorry but I am pretty much a beginner and although I found a wiki on projectspec ( )  , it is pretty much greek to me.

Perhaps a bit more of a roadmap?

I found a projectSpec.xsd file in the schema directory but couldn't figure out how to import it to css gui as the import wizard for css projects does not recognize it.

EDIT: I am guessing that is just a template but this looks way too advanced for me, just to rename my project ;(

Thanks,

Dale

Hi,

The Project Zero projectspec can be found here. C:\ti\simplelink_academy_01_11_00_0000\modules\projects\ble_projectzero\ccs\desktop.

Modify the name="project_zero_app_cc2650launchxl". Delete project zero at CCS then import it again. I have not done this but TI BLE Engineer recommends this.

But then wouldn't I will have to make all the changes to that code I have made in the last two weeks in my project, omg!

Hi Dale,

Re-post this at TI BLE Forum to get more expert advice. I have not done renaming for Project Zero, but I have done copy and paste other BLE stack example programs, which when you paste prompt you to change to CCS Project Name.

Thanks kel,

I reposted here:

kel,

In the meantime:

1. I created a new workspace
2. I imported the projectspec version of ProjectZero from SimpleLink Academy on my hard disk
3. I right click renamed both projects in ccsv7 without errors

But then AartiG said he did that without the projectspec version.

Looks like I only have to overwrite a few files to bring it up to date but I am unsure of how to make each of the two project properties the same as I am using now, is there an easy way to do that?

AND, I get this error when I build:

Buildfile generation error occurred..
Referenced project 'project_zero_stack_cc2650' does not exist in the workspace. Project 'HaloLogger' may not build as expected.
Build stopped..

I suspect it is likely in the . files the workspace creates.

I was able to eventually rename enough things to make mine work and I could not even explain it all again.  And then I had to put all my modified code back into it.

Someone needs to write a book on how to rename all the folders, . files and references in them.  To me I even had a question about whether I needed to rename in places where I ultimately decided not to because it was referencing what the actual source of the code was (I think).

So, until I see that book, I will leave this unanswered ;)

Hi Dale,

BLE Projects have 2 parts the App and Stack. You need to program both to CC2650 Launchpad. Refer to the guide.

You can also use the TI SmartRF Flash Programmer 2 to program both App and Stack HEX Files. You need to enable HEX Generation Utility for both CCS Projects.
