CCS/MSP430F5659: Warning #10247-D creating output section ".TI.noinit" without a SECTIONS specification - appears in CCSV7 for CCSV5 imported project

Part Number: MSP430F5659
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F6659

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am using CCSV7  Version: 7.1.0.00016.   I have imported my project from CCSV5 project into the CCSV7.    I am using Compiler version TI v16.9.1.LTS in CCSV7.  This is different than I used in CCSV5.

The project builds without errors.  I see only one warning which is:

     Warning #10247-D creating output section ".TI.noinit" without a SECTIONS specification

My linker file from CCSV5 is slightly modified from the original CCSV5 MSP430F5659 linker file and is (the important part anyway):

SECTIONS
{
	LOGGERBUFFER: {} > RAM2
    .bss        : {} > RAM | RAM2         /* GLOBAL & STATIC VARS              */
    .data       : {} > RAM | RAM2         /* GLOBAL & STATIC VARS              */
    .sysmem     : {} > RAM                /* DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION AREA    */
    .stack      : {} > RAM (HIGH)         /* SOFTWARE SYSTEM STACK             */

    .text       : {}>> FLASH | FLASH2     /* CODE                              */
    .text:_isr  : {} > FLASH              /* ISR CODE SPACE                    */
#ifdef __LARGE_DATA_MODEL__
    .cinit      : {} > FLASH | FLASH2     /* INITIALIZATION TABLES             */
    .const      : {} > FLASH | FLASH2     /* CONSTANT DATA                     */
#else
    .cinit      : {} > FLASH | FLASH2     /* INITIALIZATION TABLES             */
    .const      : {} > FLASH              /* CONSTANT DATA                     */
#endif
    .cio        : {} > RAM                /* C I/O BUFFER                      */

    .pinit      : {} > FLASH              /* C++ CONSTRUCTOR TABLES            */
    .init_array : {} > FLASH              /* C++ CONSTRUCTOR TABLES            */
    .mspabi.exidx : {} > FLASH            /* C++ CONSTRUCTOR TABLES            */
    .mspabi.extab : {} > FLASH            /* C++ CONSTRUCTOR TABLES            */

    .infoA     : {} > INFOA              /* MSP430 INFO FLASH MEMORY SEGMENTS */
    .infoB     : {} > INFOB
    .infoC     : {} > INFOC
    .infoD     : {} > INFOD

    /* MSP430 INTERRUPT VECTORS          */
    .int00       : {}               > INT00
    .int01       : {}
(and so on...)

I guess that something about the new CCSV7 creates a TI.noinit segment that was not created by CCSv5.

What statement shall I add to my linker file to place the TI.noinit?

Thanks!

Mike

    The CCSV7 installation will come with a later compiler installed by default than CCSV5, and some of the required sections in the linker command file change with the compiler versions.

    Looking at a program created in CCS 7 for a MSP430F6659 shows the following in the SECTIONS:

        .TI.noinit  : {} > RAM | RAM2           /* For #pragma noinit                */

    It is possible to install the same compiler version you were using in CCSV5 into CCSV7. See Compiler Releases

    Great!  Thanks for quick answer.
