CCS: Unable to modify Path Variable for SimpleLink Install Directory in CCS v7.3

Bob Landers

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm trying to compile an example from a new Workspace on CCS v7.3 using the latest SimpleLink MSP432 SDK v1.50, but I'm getting  a compile error because CCS is looking in the wrong place for one of the header files. The Include path is using the COM_TI_SIMPLELINK_MSP432_SDK_INSTALL_DIR variable, which is retaining an old value (from a beta version of SDK v1.60), and I'm unable to change the variable to point to the current 1.50 SDK. 

I'm attemption to use the following procedure to change the variable:

1. From Project Explorer, right-click the newly-imported project (timerled) and select "Properties"

2. In the left menu bar, select Resource-> Linked Resources.

3. Select the COM_TI_SIMPLELINK_MSP432_SDK_INSTALL_DIR Path variable, then click "Edit".
      a popup menu will appear, which seems to allow you to change this variable to point to a different folder.
      From that popup, I change the folder location and hit "OK".

4. The path variable appears to be changed, so I hit "OK".

5. Go to check that the variable actually changed by repeating the process at step (1).

6. Notice the path variable has changed back!

I've seen this problem in the past, but I don't see any solutions to this on the E2E posts.

Thanks for your help.

    Bob,

    CCS populates the value of this variable. You do not want to try to change this.

    First check to make sure CCS knows where your 1.50 version of the SDK is. You can do this in the preferences dialog Window->Preferences. Then expand Code Composer Studio -> Products. If it is not listed then at the top of the dialog point to where it is installed and then click the rediscover button.

    Assuming CCS is aware of your 1.50 SDK then change the project to use that version at the link below on Resource Explorer:
    Changing the SimpleLink SDK version used by a Project

    edit: this link can be found in TI Resource Explorer under the folllowing path:

    Development Tools -> Integrated Development Environments -> Code Composer Studio ->
        -> Projects and Build -> Quick Tips


    Regards,
    John

    John,
    Thanks. This solved my problem after I reinstalled the SDK and then restarted CCS v7.3. I could then see SDK v1.50, and could then follow the instructions in the "Changing the SimpleLink SDK version used by a Project" to affect that change as well.
    Regards,
    Bob
