CCS/MSP432P401R: In Code Composer V8, selecting New Project Does NOT give assembly-only project

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

While in the "New CCS Project" dialog/window, if you select any MSP432XXXX  device as target, then under the "project templates and examples" , the option of "Empty Assembly-only Project"  disappears.  The only template seems to be "Empty" or "Empty with main.c".

I am a newbie in this, and the template would have been a help.

  • Hi Eli,
    For SimpleLink devices, we strongly encourage people to use the SDK examples as a starting point and template instead of creating one from scratch. It is why there are a limited amount of templates available for those devices.

    Thanks

  • Hi ,  and thank you.   I just downloaded the SDK.    There's a lot of projects.

    I was searching (outside of the CCS) the toplevel SDK folder ; I don't see anything related to assembly.  I did "assembly", also tried "asm"  and I tried to do a find of any file with an "asm" extension.   Are all the examples "C" projects?

    thank you,

    --Eli

  • Yes, the projects are mostly "C" based. If you really want an asm only project, you can create a new empty project and add your own asm source.
  • Hello Eli,

    I am not a TI employee so I can be not so nice like Ki-Soo Lee.

    Do you really plan to do a commercial assembly programming on Cortex M4F MCU?
    I do not thing so.
    Please do not ask questions like this a let Ki-Soo Lee to help people who are in a real trouble.

    <<< I am a newbie in this, and the template would have been a help.
    Answer is: no templates for asm.

    Please close this post as answered.
  • I'm sorry , I was under the impression these forums were also available for students who are taking the TS-RSLK Robotic Systems Learning Kit course.

  • Eli - as Tomasz mentioned, there is no asm template. But if you really want to get started with a strictly asm only MSP432 example, you may want to try asking in the MSP forum. The experts there might be able to find one that you can get started with.

    Tomasz - Your inputs are always appreciated, but it is a fair question and a valid one for this forum. We encourage all relevant CCS questions (it is the questions that have nothing to do with CCS that we struggle with!).

    Thanks

  • Thanks! I finally found some good examples from professor Valvano (the one from the T.I. Robotics course videos) on another site.. a zip file of several MSP432 asm projects. Pretty good stuff.
  • Yes, Sir!
    We are here to help.
