How do I compile a Code Composer project which was created using a different version of Code Generation tools?

Question

I have a Code Composer project I received from a friend. When I try to build it I get the following error message:

This project was created using a version of Code Generation tools that is not currently installed: 6.1.12 [C6000]. Please install the Code Generation tools of this version, or migrate the project to one of the supported versions.

How do I migrate the project to my version?

Answer 1

You should be able to hack it - the project file is plaintext.

Open the file, compare it to a project file created with your version. Change any differences obviously related to versioning to look like your native file.

As an alternate, just create a new project with your IDE, then manually add all the source files listed in the friend's project file..

Here are a couple links to the TI wiki that describe migration of projects between CCS versions: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Importing_Projects_into_CCS http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:Importing_projects_from_previous_versions
