CCS/CCSTUDIO: Changing an example project to c++

I am trying to take an example project, specifically rfEchoTx (NoRTOS) which I can build fine, and convert it to a c++ based project. I can successfully change some files to cpp (like rfEchoTx.c to rfEchoTx.cpp) if I make an associated header and call out extern "c", but I cant seem to change the main_nortos.c to main_nortos.cpp it gives me unresolved symbol errors for things like NoRTOS_start(), but the nortos.h isnt rapped in cpluscplus defines like other TI code is. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

I am not familiar with this particular example. It is likely it is not documented to work with C++.

You need to decide where the boundary between C and C++ is. It may not make sense to change everything from C to C++. Once you have that settled, this FAQ (not from TI) shows how to transition between C and C++.

You also need to understand how the compiler knows to compile a source file as C or C++. In the typical case, it is based on the file extension. .c means a C file and .cpp means a C++ file. For further details, please see the compiler manual. You don't say which TI device you use. Just for now, I presume it is an ARM device, and you use the TI ARM compiler. In that case, please search the TI ARM compiler manual for the sub-chapter titled Specifying Filenames.

Thanks and regards,

It is one of the RF devices like a CC1310 or CC1352.

Yes cc1312 I think.
