Next, the Migrate Settings open. Here, you can select the new value for a Board (if a user uses one), device, and package. Switch the chipset to the desired device in SYSCONFIG. Make sure to select the right MCU model and package When you finish setting up the new device, click the CONFIRM button.

After doing so, SYSCONFIG automatically adjusts the pins and peripherals to the new device (unless the pins are locked). There is a chance of errors showing up due to invalid values from the previous device in the new device, such as different pin values or a lack of a feature. The errors shows as a red X symbol.

Figure 8-4 Errors After Switching Devices Example

To show all errors, click the Show Problems icon at the top right corner of the SYSCONFIG window. Read the errors and follow the instructions on how to fix them so the project compiles appropriately.

Sysconfig, checks the pins for the peripheral you want to use to so there is no conflict from the previous MCU. If necessary, change sysconfig to the desired pins you want to use in the new device running the project. Finally, build or compile the project in the new device. If done correctly, you see the following message and the ti_msp_dl_config.c and .h files inside the Debug folder.
