CCS: Can't Import CCS project with last compiler version

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi Team

My colleagues sent a CCS project to me. But I can't import this project. When I tried to import this project,an error message has pop-up:

See details below.
Error: Import failed for project 'bqDouber-Phone' because its compiler definition is not available. Please install the MSP430v16.9 compiler before importing this project - click 'View > CCS App Center' to check if compiler updates are available, or install the compiler manually and register it with CCS through 'Preferences > CCS > Build > Compilers'.

My compiler version is 17.3.0.

My Questions:

Do I need to install MSP430v16.9 compiler even I have the last compiler?

Where can I download the MSP430v16.9 compiler?

How to install the  MSP430v16.9 compiler?

Thanks!

  • Annie,

    You will need to install the 16.9 compiler in order to be able to import this project. When importing a project that was created with a different version CCS has to do a migration. In order to do the migration it needs to understand the build option mappings. CCS does not ship with this information for the Short Term Support (STS) compiler releases. If you install the 16.9 compiler the import will work and you will also be able to change the project to use the newer version.

    This video shows how to install older versions of the compiler:
