CCSV4 project migration warning

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5522

The attached screen shot shows the warning that appears after a compile within version 4.2.1.00004.  I'm looking to do the migration and not generate the warning.

  • Are you using the same version of the code generation tools you used in the old environment?

  • Within both environments, when I go to my project properties and select CCS Build, I see Code Generation tools as TI v3.2.2.  Based on the warning I'm receiving and an e-mail thread from another TI support individual, this tool set is apparently not available.  Is it simply a matter of selecting another tool set to use?  I selected the "More..." button but I'm unsure where to navigate to find an updated tool set.  I'm using the MSP430f5522 and 5528.

  • The MSP430 codegen tools version included with CCS 4.2.1 is 3.3.1. Seems like the project you are importing was originally created with v3.2.2 codegen tools. When the codegen version used for the build is compatible but not equivalent to the original version, then CCS reports the warning you see - that the project was created using a version not currently installed. This happens when only the first digit in the version matches (eg. 3.2.2 -> 3.3.1).

    To tell the build process that you want to use v3.3.1 of the codegen tools, go to Project Properties->CCS Build-. There should be a drop-down selection for Code Generation Tools that also shows v3.3.1. If it does not, click on More and browse to the folder where they are installed (C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\tools\compiler\msp430) assuming default installation path. That should then migrate the build to use v3.3.1 codegen tools.

     

  • Just what I needed to know.  THANKS!
