Odd, it is complaining about a permissions issue when you are trying to link the library in. Also odd that CCSv5.5 does not have the issue. Did you also install CCSv7 the same way?

VR said:

But, I am unable to load code into board as MSP-FET is not recognised  by older Version5.5.

It could be that the newer FETs do not support CCSv5.x. I suppose you could always build with CCSv5.5 and debug with CCSv7. But that is a headache. You should be able to build with CCSv7.

VR said:

As suggested by TI Team, I have installed CCS V5.5 and code is compiled

Did the team give a reason why the suggested CCSV5.5? Is there some dependency on it?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

Thanks for quick reply.
I have been using CCSv7 for Long time. Only this particular example code gives this error, all other example codes working good with V7.
with CCSv5.5, i dont see any commpiling erro, just it says No US FET even though it is conneted and it was working with CCSv7 with other programs.

user experience Exmaple code is very old code last checked in 2013.
I think, it was not checked with later Versions. When I asked it was not working, they have mentioned it is working with old Version and asked me to try with old Version.
Then I ended up thiw FET issue.

Raju

I would like to try building it myself but I can't find the code (SLAC227L). Can you send me a link to where you got yours?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

Please find below links for it.

Thanks. I see the project uses a pretty old version of the compiler. Can you point your CCSv7 install to use the MSP430 compiler from your CCSv5 install? The one that comes in CCSv5 is close enough. See the below link on how to do this:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Compiler_Installation_and_Selection

Thanks

Hi Ki,

I have tried by adding CCSv7 in CCSv5 and vice versa.

Results are same it were. No cahnge.

Rgds,

Raju

So you tried building the project in v7 using the MSP430 4.2.1 compiler from v5 and got the same error? Can your provide your build output?

Thanks
ki

Yes,
Do I Need to delete other Compilers to use MS430 4.2.1?

Raju

Total Error message as below: May give some more clues.

It looks like you are still using the newer compiler that comes from v7, or you are explicitly referencing that library in your project. Please have v7 use the older compiler from v5 as I mentioned earlier and have your project autoselect the library to use

Here you can see , I have enabled only V5 complier.

Still I get the same error, I dont know why it is referring to V7.

your screenshot didn't get posted

If you did configure your project for the older compiler from v5, then your project properties should looks like:

And the build tools from the compiler from v5 should be getting invoked like so:

Yes,

I have checked it again, it Shows as per your screenshot.

please post all your complete build output.

Ok, good to hear. Thanks for the update!
