Figure 13. When CCS Has Found the Project
Sometimes CCS finds the project but does not show a checkmark; this might mean that your workspace
already has a project by that name. You can resolve this by renaming or deleting that project. (Even if you
do not see it in the CCS workspace, be sure to check the workspace directory on the file system.)
3.3.2
IAR
IAR 6.10 or higher is required. To open the demo in IAR, click File>Open>Workspace…, and browse to
the *.eww workspace file inside the \IAR subdirectory of the desired demo. All workspace information is
contained within this file.
The subdirectory also has an *.ewp project file. This file can be opened into an existing workspace by
clicking Project>Add-Existing-Project….
Although the software examples have all of the code required to run them, IAR users may download and
install MSP430Ware, which contains MSP430 libraries and the TI Resource Explorer. These are already
included in a CCS installation (unless the user selected otherwise).

Out-of-Box Software Example
This section describes the functionality and structure of the out-of-box software that is preloaded on the
EVM.
There are two modes in the out-of-box software, stopwatch mode and temperature sensor mode, which
can be controlled with S1 and S2 push buttons on the LaunchPad. This demo shows how to utilize the
LCD_E module (active in low power mode 3.5), combined with the RTC counter, ADC, and internal
temperature sensor, to implement simple stopwatch and thermometer.
