(Sorry for double post but I can’t edit titles and needed to add one)

I’m trying to build FreeRTOS demo on TI MSP432.  
I’m starting completely from scratch. I downloaded and installed CCS then the large FreeROTS file  
Back in CCS I import the project in CORTEX\_M4F\_MSP432\_LaunchPad\_IAR\_CCS\_Keil then click DEBUG.  
The folilow messge appears:  
“Buildfile generation error occurred…  
This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed: 5.2.1 [MSP432]. Please go to CCS App Center to install the compiler of this version, or migrate the project to one of the available compiler versions by adjusting project properties.  
Build stopped…”  
I go to App Center and I only see gcc. Nothing like 5.2.1 I tried switching the properties to the latest gcc but that just creates dozens or hundreds of compiler error messges.  
So it appears I MUST use the TI compiler? Where and how do I get this

The MSP432 CCS project is using the TI compiler, but the MSP432 is a Cortex-M4, and FreeRTOS has ports for 6 compilers for Cortex-M4.

Sorry - but this is not the correct forum to ask that question.
