CCS v5.3 install on linux

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi,

I install CCS v5.3 on linux (SUSE 12.1, 64 bit, this matters?) according to the link and instruction in the end of this post. Unfortunately, I encounter problems. Please see the echo message in the terminal:

There is no installation message appears. Itself stops in the end.

What is wrong?

Anthony,
 
We ran multiple installations of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and CCS v5.  Here is a summary of the steps after installing Ubuntu from DVD.  Steps 4 & 5 follow the TI CCS v5 quick start guide for Linux installations. 
 
1.) Login as user, "blackhawk" created during installation of Ubuntu 10.04.
 
2.) Extract CCS v5 archive (i.e. CCS5.1.0.09000_linux.tar.gz) to folder /home/blackhawk/Desktop/CCS5.1.0.09000_linux
 
3.) In a terminal window enter the command below to setup a login password for root.
 $ sudo passwd root
 
4.) Now that root has a password you can run sudo.  So, in the same terminal window run the CCS installer extracted earlier (cd to that folder) using the command:
 $ sudo ccs_setup_5.x.x.xxxxx.bin &
 
5.) When the CCS install completes (I installed to /opt/ti), exit/close the terminal window, logout of Ubuntu and then log in again as user "blackhawk" (not sure if that was necessary, but did it anyway).
 
6.) On the desktop, start CCS v5 using the provided icon and apply your license choice when prompted.
 
7.) In CCS, I created a new connection file (XDS560v2 and C64x+ target), started the debugger and connected to the target board.  I was then able to load and run code.
 
 
Following these procedures, we had no issues running CCS from any user account.  We also tried other installation locations (other then /opt/ti) with same good results.  Only when we started CCS as root did we have issues trying to run as user, "blackhawk". 
 
After this testing, I have to assume that CCS was started for the first time as root and is the reason why are not able to run CCS properly from your regular user login.  Additionally, after uninstalling CCS, could it be that the root owned files creadted by starting CCS for the first time as root are not cleared during the uninstall and still exist  when you reinstalled CCS. 
 
Does this information help?
 
Regards,

Andrew
