CCS/MSP430F5529: Clean Install CCS v8 doesnot see MSP430ware , driverlib and Simplelink13xx

Part Number: MSP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Win 10. I downloaded MSPware430 through resource explorer, I can't get CCS v8 to use MSP430 & drivelib. Its a clean install of CCS, I deleted all old workspaces and wiped out the C:\ti dir before installing CCS v8 again. 4th time Im doing this.

In Help-About-Installation Details it does not list it.

In resource explorer it shows mspware430 with the green arrow as downloaded, which is odd because its not showing Simplelink 13xx with green downloaded arrow and I choose that as install option when installing CCS v8. Simplelink also does not showup under installation details.

I tried Help-Install and used the menu to select C:ti where the CCS install is at, I recevied the message " No software site found at file:/C://ti/. Do you wish to edit the location?", C:\ti\tirex gives same error. I used the menu to find the directory path for both, no manual typing. I remember C;ttirex working in the past so CCS can identify install software


I also tried File-New-CCS Project and it does not show driverlib as a template, although the dirverlib user gudie says it should.
Whats going on here, been at this for weeks, cant find this on line, Please help Thanks-Don

    Tried to make this an Edit but saw no way. Under Install Software I chose path file:/C://ti/ and probably should have been file:/C://ti/ccsv8 or file:/C://ti/ccsv8/tirex but both resulted in same message that repository is not found.

    After downloading/installing MSP430Ware through Resource Explorer, you can browse through documentation and examples (by expanding the software package in Resource Explorer), and also import projects directly from there. The screenshot below shows that I have navigated down to the empty driver library project. There are also several other driverlib examples there that you can use as a starting point. Click on the "Import to IDE" icon to import the project into CCS.

    Yes these software packages (like MSP430Ware, Simplelink SDK) do not get installed "into" CCS so will not appear under Help->Installation Details. They get installed via a separate installer, we just simplify the process by allowing the capability to download/install via Resource Explorer.

    As mentioned above, the Simplelink SDK and CCS are two separate installations. To work with CC13xx devices you would need to (1) select support for that processor family when installing CCS (which you seem to have already done), and (2) download and install the Simplelink SDK software package. Downloading the SDK (Step (2)) can be done either via Resource Explorer or from TI web. 

    Hope this helps clarify.
