CCS/TM4C123GH6PM: Importing FreeRTOS demo fails

Hi,

I'm having issues importing the FreeRTOS demo CORTEX_M4F_MSP432_LaunchPad-IAR_CCS_KEIL to CCS. It is my first time both importing and using RTOS, and I've tried a bunch of solutions on various forums.

I downloaded the entire FreeRTOS-package and unzipped it. Then in CCS I pressed Project > Import CCS Projects. I browsed to the search directory above (CORTEX_M4F_...), marked the only project that appeared and pressed Finish. The error I received was:

Error: Import failed for project 'RTOS_demo' because its compiler definition is not available. The project does not appear to be a CCS Project. Please try importing it using the 'General > Existing Projects into Workspace' wizard

So I tried the above, but it prompted me to Import CCS Projects again.

I tried reinstalling CCS and am currently using version 8. I have GNU v7.2.1 (Linaro) and TI v18.1.1.LTS compilers installed under Windows > Preferences > Code Compose Studio > Build > Compilers.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Which version of FreeRTOS do you have? I just downloaded 10.0.1 and was able to successfully import the CCS project at .\FreeRTOS\Demo\CORTEX_M4F_MSP432_LaunchPad_IAR_CCS_Keil into my CCSv8 installation without issue. The project was created using TI ARM compiler 5.2.1 but will just used the latest compiler version available (18.1.1).

Thanks

I downloaded FreeRTOSv10.0.1. I just tried re-downloading and extracting to Desktop. Same issue.

the example is an MSP432 project. Did you install MSP432 device support when you installed CCS?

I did not. I thought I should use the MSP432 project, since it should be compatible with the device I specified (TM4C123GH6PM) and thus only needed the TM4Cx device support.

I just reinstalled - this time including MSP432 device support. It imported the project, but the target is wrong. Should I post this as another question?

If you are looking for a Tiva project, then yes, this is a different topic. Not sure if it belongs on this forum since the issue is specific to FreeRTOS. You should check with their support:
