CCS/MSP432E401Y: Switching to a different SDK with existing project

Marc Singer98

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I was a little surprised to not find an answer to this question in the forum.

I have a project that was built with the MSP432P401 SDK. I'd like to switch to the MSP432E401 SDK. Seems simple enough.

I replaced the MSP_EXP432P401R.* files with edited MSP_EXP432E401Y.* files. And, in the General configuration page, I selected the new part. But, the COM_TI_SIMPLELINK_MSP432_SDK_INSTALL_DIR linked resource does not let me edit it.

Is there some other place I need to make an edit?

Hello Marc,

I checked my project database and I can change the variable from P401 path to an E401 path. Could you please provide snapshot of what is that you are trying to change so that I can better visualize the same?

OK. I'm including three screen captures. First, before I change the path:

Then, after I change the path, pressing OK and then reentering the edit dialog to verify that the value remains changed:

Then, I close the properties dialog and open it again to check on the path. It's back to the original:

You might want to verify that the path exists. Here is the directory where both SDKs are installed:

$ ls -d simple*
simplelink_msp432e4_sdk_1_60_00_10/ simplelink_msp432p4_sdk_1_60_00_12/

Thoughts?

Hello Marc

Not sure why this would be happening. Also it seems that you may be using a Linux System with CCS. Is that correct?

We're using Macos.

Is there any other help you can offer?

Hello Marc,

Let me check with some of my colleagues as I do not have a MAC PC with me. I tried to change the same on my Windows PC and it is working when I change the repo.
