CCS/CC2640R2F: Import CCS Project Forced To Copy To Workspace

Ming Leung50

Part Number: CC2640R2F

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

BLE5-SDK-1.35.00.33

CCS 7.1.0.00016

I try to import a CCS project from the examples directory. When selecting both the app and stack_library, the "Copy project into workspace" is forced to be on. I don't want to copy project the project into my workspace but work directly on the importing copy. How do I override that?

    It is not possible in this case. In this case the example projects in the SDK are what we call "project specs" you can think of them as a template on how to make a project vs a complete project. When you import it will create the actual project.

    In general we advise users to copy projects so that you always have the original project to refer back to in case you need to start over.

    Are you looking to disable the copy because you want to have the project in a different location from the workspace folder? If that is the case go ahead and import the project into your workspace. Then copy the folder to the location you want. Then from CCS delete the project and contents from the workspace. Then you can import the project from its new location and uncheck the box to copy into your workspace.
