CCS/MSP430F5529: CCS V6 doesn't start debugging session: "No previous launches"

Dennis Kodimer
Intellectual 300 points

Part Number: MSP430F5529

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I had to revise a project from a few years ago.  The CCS code was compiled & debugged under V 5.
Now, using V6, I simply opened the same workspace.  Everything compiles and loads the 5529
thru 430FET and it runs, but the debugger refuses to control the micro.  (A side issue is that getting
the debugger windows to appear requires some hacking around).  Trying to start the debugger,
I get "Cannot Launch debugger - no previous launches found".  Can't find a resolution in the help files.
What is it asking for?  How do I resolve it?  (Could it be: Import project rather than using the workspace?)

    Dennis,

    In general we don't recommend reusing workspaces between major versions of CCS. I would recommend creating a new workspace in CCSv6 (or v7) and then import the project into it.

    A "debug launch" for the project will get created when the project is debugged for the first time. I suspect it is running into issues with the launch that exists from the previous version of CCS.

    Regards,
    John
