CCS: CCSv6.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS CRASHING on STARTUP

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear TI Team,

Our CCS Studio v6.2 crashes on startup with the error segmentation fault (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS)

$ ccstudio
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ uname -a
Linux 9d35d6408363 4.4.0-97-generic #120-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 19 17:28:18 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

As a workaround I tried the steps mentioned in the below link

https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/604599

$ export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Xss1280k

But still our CCS is crashing on startup

kindly help us with this issue as multiple users are being affected

Regards

  • Shashank,

    The thread linked in the post you mentioned has some additional details, and I personally posted some additional information. Please check the following post:

    e2e.ti.com/.../2230265

    Apart from this, I don't know of anything else that is necessary to workaround this issue.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
  • Hello,

    I tried all of those ... None of them are working ...

    Yes we set the java variable as root only

  • Shashank,

    I just checked the uname -a on my 16.04 and back at the time of that thread I updated the kernel - this seemed to permanently fix the problem - CCSv6.2 (as well as newer) runs nowadays without the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

    user@host:~/$ uname -a
    Linux host 4.8.0-58-generic #63~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 26 18:08:51 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    That is one difference between our systems that could influence the outcome.

    I will keep trying to find other possible root causes for that, but without having a system with issues it makes a bit harder.

    Does running ccstudio from the command line throw any specific error messages?

    Regards,
    Rafael
  • Hello Rafael,

    Only error I get when launching from command line is

    Segmentation fault

    Core dumped

    Can you try to reproduce the issue by performing a fresh Ubuntu install with our kernel version on Ur pc ?

    Regards

  • Shashank,

    As the related threads and our experience shows, the issue is well known to happen in a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, therefore there is no need to re-test under these conditions. I suggest you to try and update your system and see if your install successfully runs.

    Regards,
    Rafael
