CCS: CCS6.2 & 7.2 - Copy projects in to workspace does not work in Linux but does in Windows

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BLE-STACK, CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I am migrating a CCS build to Linux (16.04 LTS) from Windows. I am using CC2650 BLE-STACK 2.2.1. I have tried both CCS 6.2 and 7.2 and both show same failure to copy files into the workspace. I followed basic instructions at

to get the simple_peripheral project to build.

I want to then import a project into the workspace so I can edit without touching original sources. I import with the "copy projects into workspace" box ticked which does exactly what I want in Windows

but in Linux I have no source files copied to the workspace and in project explorer I can see that the files actually resolve back to the original SDK files not a copy in workspace.

  

is there a change I can make to the project files to force this to happen in Linux or is it a bug?

Thanks, Iain

  • Iain,

    When you check the box to copy into workspace box this copies the project into the workspace (vs leaving it in its original location).  it does not copy linked files (i.e. files that are located outside of the project folder).  It doesn't do this on Windows, Linux or Mac.  

    Here is the same project on Windows.

    As you can see the bim_main.c is still a linked resource.  It has the arrow overlay on the icon in Project Explorer and when you look at the properties of the file you can see that it is located inside the ble_sdk directory.  This is the way the BLE SDK was created.  The projects all reference source files in the SDK.  

    Regards,
