Migrating a TI-RTOS project to a different device

This migration guides describes the steps involved to port an existing TI-RTOS project (such as an example project) to a different device variant. When porting to a different device variant, it's suggested to start with an existing TI-RTOS project that belongs in the same device family. If your device is a variant of a Tiva C MCU, start with a Tivc C TI-RTOS application. If you have a Concerto device, start with a TI-RTOS Concerto application. If you have a MSP430F5xx or MSP430F6xx device, refer to Creating TI-RTOS Projects for Other MSP430 Devices. Before continuing, it's recommended to create a copy of the CCS project as a backup.

Backup the original CCS project

• Clean the TI-RTOS project. Right-click on the project and select Clean Project.
• Create copy of original. Right-click on the project select Copy.
• Right-click in the Project Explorer window and select Paste.
• Give you project a new name of your choosing. For the remaining portion of the documentation references to this new name is referred as Project.

Adjust CCS project settings for the new variant

• Open CCS project Properties.
  

• Navigate to General and update the Device Variant.
  

• Click OK to close the window.

• Again, open the CCS project Properties and now navigate to (ARM/MSP430) Compiler, expand Advanced Options, and select Predefined Symbols.
  • Update the predefined symbols for your device as defined by the table below:
    

TI Product line	TI-RTOS 1.20 Predefined symbols	Example
Tiva C	TIVAWARE PART_<device>	TIVAWARE PART_TM4C123GH6PM
Concerto	MWARE	MWARE
MSP430F5xx/6xx families	MSP430WARE __<device>__ (double '_')	MSP430WARE __MSP430F5529__

• Click OK to close the window.
