CCS: Including ControlSuite files withing project.

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello, I have a question about file organization inside a CCS project. Creating a new project always seems to be a struggle.

Reading the wiki and various documents it seems that linking ControlSuite files from c:\ti\ControlSUITE\... to the project is the preferred way?

Personally, I would prefer locating these files inside the project so that the project would be archived in version control including all the source needed to compile it. Copying the directories as they are produces all sorts of errors from those .c files that are not used. Copying only the ones that are needed kind of works, but is quite a chore when creating a new project. Also marking the ControlSuite directory inside the project as "Excluded from Build" seems to work, but I'm not sure if it has any drawbacks.

Maybe there's a better way to achieve the goal of archiving the whole project in version control?

Best regards

This is really a matter of personal preference. If there are files within ControlSuite that need to be part of the project but that will never need to be modified they can stay there and don't need to be "copied" into the project.

This training module on Portable Projects covers how to create portable projects so it can be shared with others. Hope this helps.
