CCS: CCS in-program update broke installation...

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPWARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I'm running CCS Version: 7.2.0.00013. A week or so ago, my installation tried to update as it does every so often, but it failed on multiple counts - so many, but I can't state which was the first it failed on... whilst my dev environment "seems" to be running OK, the whole update process is now broken - it fails immediately as shown below. This is a Windows 10, 64-bit, Intel Lenovo system - never has any issues and no funny drivers installed.

I have GIT installed plus MSPware, but nothing else. I'm using the FET programmer and standard Launchpads

Any ideas welcome, preferably those that don't involve scrubbing my installation and starting again! That would be grim indeed...

Thanks

Nick,

I just pinged the update site listed in the error message and it accessed it ok for me. You could disable the update sites that are not applicable to Windows. That would reduce the number of sites being contacted. If you go to Window -> Preferences you can adjust the update sites that are checked.

If you go there could you try selecting the Code Generation Tools update site for Windows (the one highlighted below) and then click the reload button on the right. That will contact the server and check if it is able to communicate ok.

Regards,

John

Hi John,

Thanks for replying - I did as you suggested and the DB reloaded.

"Check for updates" now runs OK but currently finds no new updates, which is slightly confusing as the previous bunch failed miserably, so I would have expected some of those to be re-actioned.

How can I test "confidence" in the check for updates operation?

PS. Why, on a WIndows 10 system, is CCS looking at the "p2mac" repository?

Cheers

Nick,

One thing that you could try to see if the update check is working is to go to Help -> Install New Software. Select the code generation tools update site. It should then show other versions of the compiler that you don't have installed.

Regards,

John

Hi,

I tried to install the latest MSP430 compiler - this is what happened: Logs attached

Nick,

Looks like the compiler installed fine but the installer is finding a record of errors that occurred during a previous update and is reporting them.

I will see if there is a way to clear those.

Hi - Can anyone help on this before I just do a clean install?

Thanks

Nick,

Sorry for the slow reply. I was out for a week.

Can you try the following. Locate your ccs_confg.xml file. It should be in your installation directory under /ccsv7/eclipse

Search for state="install failed". Replace with state="feature installed"

Regards,

John

Apologies for the delay - seems to have cured it - many thanks for that!

Cheers
