CCS/MSP430FR4133: Driverlib under includes is greyed out, driverlib and release folders missing for LaunchPadMSP430FR4133 NEW PROJECT

Part Number: MSP430FR4133

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi fForum,

Just the details,

Clean download for CCS8, installed LaunchPad MSP430FR133 from Resource Explorer, began a NEW PROJECT in the same directory as the LaunchPad.

After editing, include files for BOTH the LaunchPad and the NEW PROJECT are now exactly the same.

Driverlib and Release folders are missing from the directory list for tht NEW PROJECT. They appear under the LaunchPad directory.

driverlib/msp430fr2xx_4xx_ appears under NEW PROJECT include files, but is greyed out.

Every aspect of both projects properties have been compared. The include list for NEW PROJECT was edited to EXACTLY MATCH with the LaunchPad. MSP430 HEX UTILITY WAS ENABLED FOR NEW PROJECT.

I am at wits end and need help with this. Thank you in advance.

    Probably not what you think.........

    After manually locating the proper driverlib files under MSPWARE, and under the ADD INCLUDE page from PROPERTIES, I added the OUTOFBOX paths and also the MSP430 path, all to no avail.

    Then I tried changing the order of files under INCLUDE. Failed again.

    Now completely disgusted with the entire 10 days of wasted life, and fully expecting to entirely torch my CCS8 download, and probably losing all of my code, I tried to........try not to laugh..........copy and paste the DRIVERLIB and RELEASE folders from the OUTOFBOX directory to my new project directory. Then back to INCLUDE to change the order of files to force a reindex of the new project directory, and..................

    Everything now works fine! DRIVERLIB is found, and my code compiles with no errors. Go Figure!!!

    Robert,

    Thank you for the update. It sounds like, in your first attempt, you were missing the step to add a local copy of the DriverLib source into your project (which you seem to have figured out later).

    This is documented in the DriverLib User's Guide, which you can access from Resource Explorer.

    Hi AartiG, and thanks for responding!

    I can see why I could not find any way to load library files. When I get to the project  files load box, as pictured in the uses manual, THE BOX IS EMPTY!

    i have one further question, my project is very math intensive. I don't have a hardware multiplier. I noticed a mpy.c and mpy.h in the driverlib index, is this the same as Qmath? I only have to do 16bti (and a fewt double (32bit)) unsigned integer multiplies, but lots of them. How many clock cycles are required for an unsigned 16bit multiply with the standard myp.h and mpy.c?

    Please advise And BTW, Win10, CCS8, all updates. MSP430FR4133.

    Thank you in advance. Robert.

    Prior to coming to that step, CCS needs to have discovered the Driver Library as a RTSC product. This is mentioned in the "Introduction" section of chapter 3. 

    For your other questions regarding the mpy.c and mpy.h, could you please start a new post in the MSP Microcontrollers Forum? The experts there should be able to provide better advise for that question. Thank you!
