It has been a very long time since I used CCS 2.10, but I will try to remember.

Q1. Did you install in the default directory??

There should be a batch file located in /cc/bin that
creates a board configuration file that includes the '-f' option. I
seem to remember that there was a release that had a bug that would
cause the proper file to not be created [or not created in the correct
place] if you installed CCS in a non-default directory.
This can be resolved by either running the batch file from a DOS
prompt or modifying the hard-coded path in the batch file [I do not
remember which]. The other problem is that I do not remember the
exact file name. I believe that the following steps will get you
there.
1. with the DSK connected and powered up, open a DOS prompt in the
'/cc/bin' directory.
2. execute 'dir *dsk*.bat'. this should give you 1 or 2 files. If
there are 2 files, you may need to examine the contents. If you
execute the correct one with no options, it should provide a list of
the possible options. If you installed in a non-default dir, examine
the file for a hard-coded path [I think that the default directory for
2.10 was 'CCS'].
3. if you run the file with the correct options, it should generate a
configuration file that includes the '-f' option.

I am sorry that my memory is not so good. Maybe other CCS 2.10 users
could comment.
