CCS/TMS570LC4357: "Other..." removed from Terminal view Baud Rate settings in version 8.0.0.00016

Hi,
the possibility to have higher speeds than 115kb has been removed from the Terminal view in the latest version.
It's very nice to have the terminal view in CCS when debugging, but we use 460800 bps in our application. :(

Is there some way to use the Terminal view for CCS 7.4 in CCS 8.0?
I have tried to change the XML settings file for the terminal but to no luck. 
The best solution is of course that you changed it back in next release of CCS 8.x. 

Kind regards,

    Yes I see that the ability to enter custom baud rate seems to have been removed in the newer version of the Terminal plugin.

    This is an Eclipse plugin that we (TI) do not directly modify. CCS 7.4 has an older version of the Terminal plugin (4.2.0) while CCS 8.0 has a newer version (4.3.0) where the custom baud rate functionality is not there. You can check this by looking at menu Help->About->Installation Details.

    One thing you could do is to uninstall the version in CCS 8.0 and install the older version of the plugin. Note that I have not tested if this impacts other functionality but I believe it should work fine.

    To uninstall the current version, go to menu Help->About->Installation Details. Search and find TM Terminal. Select it and click Uninstall.

    After uninstall completes and CCS restarts, go to menu Help->Install New Software. In the Work with: field, enter download.eclipse.org/.../4.2

    Select all the v4.2 components that appear for TM Terminal and go through the installation. 

    That should install the older version of plugin and give you the previous baud rate setting. Hope this helps!

    Thank you very much AartiG, for the swift answer, as usual, your service is splendid. :) 

    I suspected that the plug-in was not TI's but Eclipse's. It is very strange they have removed this actually. 
    Not popular? ;) 

    Anyway, I will test this tomorrow (I work in Sweden so we are 8 or so hours ahead of you). 

    Best regards,
    Lars
