CCS allows a project import even when it wouldn't be able to handle project. You will only get an error message when launching the debugger, however, it should bring up an error message already when Examples: ­ Importing an MSP430 project that uses the LPT interface on a CCSv4 version that does not have support for this interface (e.g. user did not select 'install LPT tool support' during setup) causes problems without telling the user what's wrong. By opening the ccxml file you will only see XML code instead of the GUI. Need to have dialog already during project import saying: You're trying to import a project that uses the LPT interface. LPT support is currenlty not installed, please add feature by relaunching the installer' or similar. ­ Importing projects based on devices that do not exist in the IDE works fine ­ the only message that was shown is locked in the problems view and refers to the XML file ­ customers overlook this message or do not know what do do. Instead we should have a pop­ up box saying: Device not supported by IDE. Please ensure check for updates or install support package for pre­release devices.

PJT migration: non­buildable source­files cause unneccessary error messages Various project files of specific names are generated when importing legacy CCS 3.x projects into CCS 4.x. If the 'Copy projects into workspace' folder is not selected, it will place these generated files in the same location as the CCS 3.x project file. If there are multiple CCS 3.x project files in the same directory, and they are all being imported, the generated project files of the previously imported CCS 3.x project will be overwritten with the last one. Workaround: Either enable the 'Copy projects into workspace' option during the import to copy everything into their workspace folder or place the legacy project files in separate folder prior to importing them.

When I reight­click a definition and select 'open definition' nothing happens. Please fix. When a user checks for updates from within CCS we need to detect if they have installed in program files and UAC is on. Since if UAC is on then the updates will download but they will not get saved. The user will be unable to update CCS. We need to detect that UAC is on and warn the user to turn it off like we do in the main CCS installer.

Open a project, right­click on source file within the project and select 'Build Selected File'. This builds the file but seems to generate incorrect .pp file. Sometimes a Clean Selected FIle is needed before Build Selected File to generate the error. Next time selecting 'Build Selected File' again causes this error: C:Program FilesTexas Instrumentsccsv4utilsgmakegmake msp430x54x_adc12_10_original.obj C:Program FilesTexas Instrumentsccsv4utilsgmakegmake: *** No rule to make target `C:/Program', needed by `msp430x54x_adc12_10_original.obj'. Stop. Build complete for project msp430x54x_adc12_10 The problem seems to be due to missing #FIXED in 1st line of .pp file. Doing a 'Rebuild Active Project' regenerates the correct .pp file though and build completes. See also forum post: http://e2e.ti.com/forums/p/12543/48993.aspx#48993

Scripts' menu is greyed out when switching back to the C/C++ perspective from the Debug perspective. When starting a debug session from the C/C++ perspective by using a hotmenu from the 'Scripts' menu (added by loading a JS DSS file (loadJSFile) ) , a debug session will start and CCS will flip to the Debug perspective. When the debug session is shut down manually, CCS will flip back to the C/C++ perspective. When it does so, the 'Scripts' menu is greyed out. Switching perspectives and coming back again will make the 'Scripts' menu available again. Workaround: Toggle between perspectives to have the 'Scripts' menu available again

When exporting a project using 'File­>Export.­>General­>Archive File' and not using the 'Browse' button to specify a directory, the archive file gets stored in 'C:Program FilesTexas Instrumentsccsv4emulationanalysisbin'. The expected behavior would be that the file gets stored into the folder that is shown when clicking the 'Browse' button. Otherwise, the file basically 'disappears' in the file system with no easy way to find it (since the directory shown when clicking the 'Browse' button doesn't match the default directory that is actually used).

In CCSv4, on the 'Project' menu, the incremental build selection is named 'Build All'. This has confused some customers, as they think it is a full build. The full build selection is called 'Rebuild All'. In CCS v3, incremental build was called 'Build' and the full build 'Rebuild All'. I guess the 'All' appendage in 'Build All' in CCSv4 is what confused my customer. Personally, I think 'Incremental Build' and 'Full Build' are the best descriptions. Perhaps we should consider changing the menu names. It would be a small change, and might help future users.

Need a way to get to global symbols when adding a new breakpoint. Functions names are aften very long. In the case of BIOS 6.x we have function names like _ti_sdo_ipc_heaps_HeapMemMP_Module_startup__E Typing in such a long name is very error prone and leads to a lot of frustration. It would be very useful if we could access global symbols in breakpoint window or some kind of auto­complete feature.

GEL_WatchAdd should not be in CortexM3_util.gel Stop Mode RTA is not gathering substantial amount of data for ARM9 target. After successfully building and loading a BIOS6 RTA project onto the ARM9 core of the OMAPL137 target. I ran the target for just under 20 seconds and found inconsistencies in the amount of data collected between the views. I was expecting the stop mode RTA to be very similar to that of the continuous RTA on the DSP's; except of course that I would be expected to manually halt the target to gather data. According to the RAW Logs view data is collected for 'xdc.runtime.LoggerBuf' for the whole run, while 'RTASystemLog' has < 1second worth of data and 'RTALoadLog' has roughly 3 seconds worth of data. I am not sure if this is behaving correctly.

When a C2000 CCS 3.3 project is imported into CCS v4, the project builds ok as­is. However, if the version of codegen tools is changed, it is unable to save the changes, it gives an error and reverts back to the original version of codegen tools. This seems to be related to Project Build Settings­>Device Variant being set to 'C2000 Custom Device'. If this is changed to 'Generic C28xx Device' then the version of codegen tools can be modified without problem. Tested with a C6000 example project shipped with CCS 3.3 as well and the same issue occurs. User should be able to directly modify/update the build properties of the converted project without having to make further changes to the device variant.

S2 ­ Major No link to MSP430 specific help docs from the IDE or Windows start menu. S1 ­ Critical Importing projects (given the usage of build configurations that use different libraries) does not work when projects are created with CCE3.x ­ see example 1 (attachements). The 104 error message (!) do not provide enough information to address the issue unless you have good knowledge about the project. Project import from CCSv4 to CCSv4 works only if the libs that are not used are manually excluded. Build configurations are not supported in that case (at least when predefined symbols are used ­ see example 2). It's still possibel to manually exclude libs, but this needs to happen in multiple places in the code. Without project knowledge it's very difficult for (new) customers getting.

Please install the device­variant descriptor, or migrate the project to one of the supported device­variants.' When I try to create a new CCS project (MSP430) I get the following error message: 'No Code Generation tools are currently installed for this project type. Please install Code Generation tools before creating a project of this ' After closing and restarting CCS4 (without restarting windows) everything works fine again.

The Outline View can be very useful for bigger projects, but then it should also work correctly for them. In bigger projects there is often a configuration header­file, which might define a lot of things for conditional compiles or other defines. The Problem is: When you have for example a file main.c and include a file xyz.h, and if there is a conditional compile in the main.c depending on for example 'foo', and 'foo' is defined in xyz.h. Then the Outline View does not show the correct things, and assumes 'foo' is NOT set, so things the other part would be 'active'.

The MSP430F5527 linker command file contains a wrong definition for the RAM length. Workaround: When using this device please change the length to “0x1800”.
