    Hi Valentin,

    Which example are you trying to import? Can you go to that folder in your File Explorer and show me what is in the ccs folder?

    one more comment: after updating it is not able to open ccs, system nees to be restarded once it hangs completelly, PC is running Win7, on 16 cores with 64GB RAM and and fast SSD.

    Installation takes really long...

    Valentin,

    Thanks for the screenshot. Did you add the .project in your "ccs" folder or was that there when you downloaded it? That file should not be there. CCS should be importing the project files (.ccsproject) in the "app" folder so it is trying to reading the wrong file in the parent directory. If you delete ccs/.project it should import correctly.

    I only support the CC26XX devices so I can't help you with CCS not opening or installing; however, I can transfer this thread to the CCS forum or you can post a new one there? e2e.ti.com/.../81

    I have followed instructions from "CC26x0 SimpleLink™ Bluetooth® low energy Software Stack 2.2.x Developer's Guide"

    pls see images above, once there you can see how files were imported. The result is the issue described...

    Currently have ureinstall CCS and tried again, the same result...

    Version:

    CCS offers update, but after installing it corrupt not only ccs installation but windows session as well. 

    Addition: we are running Win7 64bit, but should be clear dou to notice on multicore run.

    could youplease check and follow instructions in your guide (as I have done) and import project in new CCS? 

    it could be also microsoft issue, however it looks more like ti issue

    tried reinstall BLE stack, same result...

    Hi Valentin,

    You can try reinstalling CCS in a new folder in your ti directory, i.e. C:/ti/new_folder and seeing if you still have CCS errors. If you are having issues with updating CCS, we can transfer your post to the CCS support.

    The instructions in the guide are correct, other than you should open CCS before creating a workspace (switch steps 1 and 2). From what I can see in your images, you are taking the right steps to import a project.

    The error you are experiencing with importing a project comes from a .project/.cproject/.ccsproject being in the wrong location. From the picture you sent me, it looks like there is a .project in your simple_peripheral/ccs folder that does not belong. I've re-downloaded that sdk and confirmed that file is not there. To fix this problem, go into your app and stack folders to make sure both have a .project, .cproject, and .ccsproject. If they both have those files, you can delete that extra .project file in your simple_peripheral/ccs folder. You should then be able to properly import the project.

    Hi Jessica,

    Thank yuu very much, now it works, project imported sucessfully, priobably that file remains there by previous import and not making copy to workspace.

    in stack folder it showed red cross, targeted to "target Configs", have changed to correct device and test connection, works, but what seems to be strange CC2640F128.ccxml did not changed from point of name view, why this file was for different device after import, is there other stetting I have missed before import or?

    see image:

    here is trgetConfig source:

    will try to continue

    Hi Valentin,

    All projects that work with the CC2640, will also work with CC2650. It probably just uses the same file without changing the name. In the BLE Software Development Guide that is released with the SDK, the names CC2640 and CC2650 are used interchangeably.

    Dear Jessica,

    thank you, finally get IDE working, have to say, to many missing links, bad explanations weak help, missing examples.
    Before I thought we will migrate from competitor MCUs to TI MCUs, but looks it will be better to stay where we are :)
    If we have such issues here we will change a management, because they are not doing their work.

    Hello Katie,

    practically, most of stuff regarding CC2650 including simplelink academy is not working 100% and clear, We have selected CC2650MODA because of existing certified standalone module wit OAD. Because we plan to use it as standalone module holding customer application (not as network processor), we expected it should be well documented and explained. That was a reason we purchased eval tools available for it. Booster pack  incl MSP432, Launchpad and several others (different families).

    First point regarding to the mentioned improvement list, it should be clearly shown how to connect user application board JTAG with one of yours debug boards, also connection for UART should be clearly shown in order to save your customer time.

    There are other items regarding project zero, BDS, ets. they need attention, but I am sure many of them were referred by other engineers. Have you tried to rename project (e.g. project zero) under CCS 8.1 (most recent) version - need to say that is something :)
    I think it needs to be clearly said that engineer must use dedicated stacks and libraries, not write to use most recent, once they will definitely not work with older examples, as well as directly show where to download them.

    I think, to get services and characteristics BDS is nice tool, pity looks no longer supported, several optimization of TI plugin will be great but seeing that after version 1.07 CC2650 is not more supported it looks really strange. Except of E2E did not found any notice.
    personally I think it was stitched with a hot needle.

    Regarding our progress, finally get project zero working and started build services and characteristics. It looks BLE stack is pretty memory consuming, and there might be not enough memory space to build user application will address separate question on E2E. We will see after loading all required services. Now it looks like,

     

    hope application will fit otherwise it was just loosing of time and question regarding version with like 256k flash will arise:

     

    We can help to tune your stuff and share experience but on contract base (if interesting for you, you have my email in E2E settings, feel free to contact me by mail)
