CCS/CCSTUDIO: CCS/MSP430F5438AIPZ: Creating a new TI-RTOS project through Resource Explorer Offline

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I'm trying to use Code Composer Studio to create a new CCS project with TI-RTOS. I have found what I believe to be outdated examples that show you can create an empty minimal project with TI-RTOS through the File->New->CCS Project dialog. It is my understanding that now, empty TI-RTOS projects are created through Resource Explorer.

I am unfortunately on a system that cannot be connected to the Internet, and therefore, I must use Resource Explorer (and other features of CCS) offline. I have installed TI-RTOS and all necessary components correctly through the offline process, but nothing shows up in my Resource Explorer. I am having a lot of trouble finding support for offline usage of CCS, and I'm unable to figure out how to use Resource Explorer to generate an empty RTOS project.

I am grateful for any help you can offer!

    The current Resource Explorer is used to import existing examples from MSP430Ware, not to create new empty projects.

    I assume you are using the "new" Resource Explorer, and not the Resource Explorer "Classic" that existed in CCSv8 and earlier. TI-RTOS for MSP430 will appear only in the Classic version. If you wish to use TI-RTOS for MSP430 with the new version, you will need to manually import the examples using the "Import CCS Project" wizard. Note that these steps are all for importing existing examples. It is highly recommended to start with existing examples instead of working from scratch on your own.

    Thanks
