Has anyone confirmed that a Blackhawk XDS100v2 works in CCSv6 running on Windows 8? I installed CCSv6 on a new machine (with no previous CCS installation or XDS drivers) and the XDS100v2 drivers weren't installed properly. When I tried to test a JTAG connection it told me that the FTDI drivers weren't correct, and the xds100serial utility couldn't find any connected emulators.
I checked for updates in CCS and saw that "Blackhawk CCSv6.0 Emulation Update" was avaiable, so I downloaded that. When CCS restarted to install the update, the installer immediately threw an error:
An error occured: can't read "componentname(JRE)": no such element in array
Even though the installation failed, when I restarted CCSv6 it reported that there were no updates and that the Blackhawk update was installed properly. The XDS100v2 was still not detected/usable, so I tried uninstalling and re-installing it a few times, and every time the installer threw the same error.
After this, I realized that I didn't have Java installed on my new system, so I installed JRE7 and added it to my system's PATH and JAVA_HOME variables. The "java" command is now recognized when I run it in the command line so I figure that the JRE is installed properly, but when I try to install the Blackhawk update, I'm still getting the same JRE error.
Is this a known bug? If not, is there any specific JRE requirement (JRE6 vs JRE7, 32 bit vs 64 bit) for the CCS update installer? Any help with this issue would be appreciated
