CCS/MSP430FR2433: Retarget a CCS Cloud example project?

Part Number: MSP430FR2433
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR4133, MSP430WARE, MSP-EXP430FR2433

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Using TI Resource Explorer, I uploaded to CCS Cloud an "Empty Project" example for MSPWare/Driverlib.  It appears that the target is MSP430FR4133.  Compile errors were for undefined macro symbol EUSCI_A!_BASE, a device which FR2433 has but not FR4133.  So i want to retarget the project.

In Target/Properties, the target field is not changeable (can't click to select, no pulldown menu, etc.)

Next I tried creating a new empty project, choosing my target FR2433, then copying various source directories into the project (my /src,  /driverlib, board.h).  Now the compiler can't find include files from /driverlib e.g. gpio.h.

Is there a way to change  an example project to a different target?  Are the examples  for one specific family member, and not retargetable, in CCS Cloud?

In another post, I was told to use CCS Desktop, that CCS Cloud is only for the examples.

I suppose I can copy the driverlib source files I need out of the /driverlib directory and into my  parallel /src directory

    If I understood everything correctly, you created a MSP430Ware project with everything inside (driverlib, etc.) and uploaded it to the Cloud, is that so? If so, you will have to re-target everything offline and then upload it. I did this on the project 00_EMPTYPROJECT, which contains the driverlib source files already inside the project. 

    After importing this project from offline CCS, I re-targeted it to the FR2433 and exported it to a .zip file (right click on the project and select Export --> General --> File System --> select a directory --> Select all the files of the project).

    I then re-imported the project into the Cloud and rebuilt it. It worked just fine. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    No, I did not use CCS Desktop (what you call offline) to retarget the example project. I just used Resource Explorer to upload it to CCS Cloud, I was expecting to be able to retarget it from within CCS Cloud.

    So my understanding now is that many of the examples might not work on a different target than the example projects are targeted to, and there is no (easy?) way to retarget them from within CCS Cloud. (Some of the examples might work on a different target if the target is not that much different from the original target.) So if there is no example project for your target (as you show above, none for FR2433) you might be out of luck using CCS Cloud, until TI builds examples for every target, especially the new LaunchPad MSP-EXP430FR2433.

    Now, I have installed CCS Desktop and am using it. Where, since I have experience using Eclipse, it is easy to retarget.

    So my problem is solved. This thread is just a warning to potential users of CCS Cloud.
