CCS/MSP432P401R: Is there a correct way to move, port, an existing MSP432 project using Driverlib to another computer?

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have a MSP432 project using DriverLib and can not get it to build, run, debug on a new computer.  I installed CCS 6.2.0.00050 on my new computer with support for the MSP432 family. I then installed MSP432 DriverLib.  I have tried many different way to import the existing project to my new computer.  I can import to the IDE an example from DriverLib and it compiles and runs okay.  When I try to import an existing project to the workspace I get an error message that says to use the CCS / Project Import Wizzard, but can not find any reference to this tool.  I have tried to ADD FILES to the existing 'example' project. It will compile but when i try to RUN it just crashes and I have not been able to step thru the code as it goes off in to never never land.

    Is this project known to build and run fine on the other computer with CCS 6.2?

    You should be able to simply export the project and then import it in the new machine. Or if the project is fully contained within the project folder you could just zip up the project folder, extract it on the new machine and import the project into CCS.

    Could you provide more information on which import methods you have tried and what the error messages were in each case?

    Tom,

    Since I haven’t heard back from you, I’m assuming you were able to move past this issue. If that is not the case, please feel free to post a reply with an update and the requested details. Thanks!

    I believe that the MSP432 compiler or more likely the DriverLib is installed differently on the two computers which is preventing a simple import of a CCS project.

    However, I did find a way around the problem. Using the Resource Explored, I imported to the workspace a simple GPIO example using Driverlib. I then renamed the project. I then rename the c file to 'main.c' Then I 'Added Files' all of my old source (*.h and *.c) except main.c. I then cut paste the code in my old main.c into the example renamed main.c. This builds and runs.
