CCS: msp430ware not installing

Hello,

Were you trying to install the latest version (3.80.09.03)? I was able to get that version to install using Resource Explorer in CCSv9.3

. I get the message that I can watch the install progress using the task menu.  That doesn't show up either.

Note that to see the progress bar, you need to press the little circle icon next to the Filter:

Do you not see any messages there?

If you are unable to get it to install from Resource Explorer, you can download it separately from:

Hello Ki,

Thank you for your response. All it took was some patience to wait for the install.  When I compile my program with the

#include <driverlib.h>  or #include "driverlib.h"

the header file is not found.  If I compile one of the example files it is found and the #include statement is exactly the same as in my file.What is necessary bo be able to use driverlib?

Thank you for your response.  It makes sense.  Except that when I go to look at project build properties there is no list of include search paths or apparent means to add one.

Regards,

Jan

I had to resort to uninstalling all previous versions of CCS and installing CCS version 10.  That gave me the ability to see the include paths and after some fumbling I was able to get driverlib.h recognized. It is noted that version 9.3 did not show the include paths used.  The problem now is that the functions used from msp430ware are not being resolved in the linking process.

This should be available in the project properties. Below is a screenshot of my 9.3 installation:

Yes now check the linker options. Make sure the library that defines the symbols are included to the project

I don't understand what library to include in linker options, and even how to get to the place to add the library.  The goal is to be able to use the driverlib for MSP430FR2xx devices.

Jan, I would start a new thread in the MSP forum. The experts there can help with your latest issues.

Thanks

I was also able to add the search path for the linker files but the build still fails with unresolved references to routines in the driverlib library.

Having a linker/library search path is not enough. A library itself needs to be specified. Anyway, mention the missing references on the MSP forum and the experts there will know what you are missing.
