FYI: workaround for ccstudio 5.5 crash when running under CentOS 6.6

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I recently updated my machine from CentOS version 6.5 to 6.6.  Subsequent to the update, ccstudio 5.5 would crash every time I ran it.  Here's an example:

galens@lion:~$ ccstudio
ccstudio: cairo-misc.c:380: _cairo_operator_bounded_by_source: Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

This appears to be related to the following eclipse bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=441705

Here's a workaround that is being used by other eclipse users.  Append the following line to your ccstudio.ini file.

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false


Presumably this would apply to RHEL and Scientific Linux 6.6 users as well.  I don't know whether other versions of ccstudio are affected.

  • Hi Galen, thanks for sharing this!

    For reference, I just updated from CentOS 6.5 64-bit to 6.6. Following the update CCS 6.0.1.00040 crashed with the same assertion failure as your CCS 5.5.

    Applying the work-around also stopped CCS 6 from crashing.

    Thanks for posting the information.

  • Thanks!

    I have added this to the http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Host_Support_CCSv6 page

    I will also add it to the v5 version
