CCS/MSP430FR6879: Software migration

Guru 16770 points

Part Number: MSP430FR6879

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi

Our customer wants to use sloc297 for MSP430FR6879 with latest CCS.

http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/sloc297

However, sloc297 is old resource and it could not be built with CCSv8 as it is.

Do you have right way to migrate sloc297 for CCSv8?

BestRegards

  • I imported the example project into CCSv8.3.  It is set to use a very old version of the MSP430 Compiler.  To get the project to build I changed the project settings to use the 18.1 compiler and I also had to change the output format to ELF.  After that I was able to build the project fine in CCSv8.3.

    Here is where I changed the settings.

    Regards,

  • Hi John

    Thank you. I will try it.

    Regarding to the differences of device version, it has to be addressed by manual, right?

    BestRegards
  • Switching the device could be more involved.  I am not familiar with the differences between the two.  There is a device setting in the project that you can switch (and will need to) but there are very likely other changes that need to happen (drivers...).  The team in the MSP forum would be better suited to assist with that if the customer runs into issues.
