Can the .PJT file or the .MAK file be manually modified?
The .PJT file can be modified by the user, but the .MAK file cannot. The .MAK file contains checksums and other information needed by the project to determine dependencies and so on. In Code Composer Studio, the user can load up a project and right-click on .PJT file in the Project Manager and will be presented with a menu item that says “Open for Editing”. This will allow the user to manually edit the .PJT file.
