[quote user="Dave Nadler"]I'm trying out CCS 6.0.0.00190 with MSP430 GCC Tools 4.8.0.20140423,
and all the latest updates installed as of 11-July.[/quote]The CCS Memory Allocation view appears to parse the output of the "XML link information file" which is generated by the linker of a TI compiler, as specified by --xml_link_info file option.
With CCS 6 projects built using a TI compiler I found that the Memory Allocation view is populated.
However, with CCS 6 projects built using a GCC compiler I saw the same problem as you, in that the Memory Allocation view didn't display the memory usage with a "The project must have its link-info file path set. Click here to initialize the link-info file path..." message. Clicking here didn't have any effect.
Therefore, I think the CCS 6 Memory View isn't supported when a GCC compiler is used - although I can't find any statement to that effect in the CCS 6 help.
