C2000 launchpad - code skeleton

Maybe I am just lazy, maybe laziness is a bit "the geek way".

Each time I start a new project I like to copy from a skeleton, some kind of template instead of typing everything from scratch.
The real reason, I think, is that in most of the cases I cannot recall how to start and with the C2000 Launchpad I always forget something, so I created a file with all the steps and code snippets.

I am posting it here, just in case it might turn useful for others.

First, in CCS start a new project (FIle, new Project, CCS Project )

Then  set the basic project properties (see the highlighted parts)

Some tweaks are then needed in the project properties after the project is created, right click the project name in the project explorer, select properties and add the laiunchpad specific location for the include files.
You may need to adjust that path according to your ControlSuite install dir

Finally add the library

You are now good to go, open your main.c file and copy & paste the following skeleton

Update : Make sure you select the correct linker command file, by mistake I selected 28027 instead of F28027 and spent some time to figure out why the program would not fit in memory according to the linker.

Note that this is just a skeleton, you may need to remove parts you may not need such as include files, handles etc (unless the linker is smart enough to get rid of them, which I think it's something we might expect).

Also, you will need to add specific peripheral initialization according to your needs and... your program.
