Yes docker is very similar to a virtual machine, except you don't have any graphical interface and the container (=docker VM) is typically lighter than a full VM. 

This forces me to use the unattented installation mode and therefore I cannot disable the BlackHawk installation with the graphical interface. 

I launch the install with /ccs_install/CCS7.3.0.00019_linux-x64/ccs_setup_linux64_7.3.0.00019.bin --mode unattended --prefix /ccs/

I have just discovered the   --save-response-file option in the thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/417809. I'll try to remove BlackHawk using this now.

I have tried to install it as a user but got the same behavior.

Then I tried with another base docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc/ and installed it with the GUI using a vnc connection to the container. This worked fine but I'm not happy with having to use the GUI install.

So I tried in exactly the same context but with the command  ./CCS7.3.0.00019_linux-x64/ccs_setup_linux64_7.3.0.00019.bin --mode unattended --prefix /opt/ti". This did not work.

Do you have an idea what could change between the GUI install and the unattended?

Here are the logs for the unattended install

ccs_install_logs.zip

I have not yet tried it. Is it enough to remove EMU_BH from the attached file?

That did it indeed! Thank you for the help.

Now the installation complete without GUI and I have been able to import and start the build with command line.

(I'll post a link to the dockerfile later if anybody's interested)

Now I have an issue during the build:

subdir_rules.mk:34: *** target pattern contains no '%'.  Stop.

Which I guess is due to the windows path like: i2c_if.obj: /C:/ti/CC3200SDK_1.3.0/cc3200-sdk/example/common/i2c_if.c $(GEN_OPTS) | $(GEN_HDRS)

What is the best way to compile the same source/project both on windows and linux? Can I change the variable using the command line?

Or do I need to hack the .project file before import to change CC3200_SDK_ROOT to point to /opt/ti/CC3200SDK instead of /C:/ti/CC3200SDK?

Thanks for posting the dockerfile.

As far as the build issue, unfortunately some of our software packages are not created in a cross-platform way.  The SimpleLink SDK for CC3220 should be good but I believe the CC3200 SDK has some issues.  You should be able to change the value of the variable after importing.  It will present in the build options here:

You will also want to check the include paths for both the Compiler and Linker.

John

Thanks for the info, the SDK seems to cause no trouble with my setup.

Now I'm trying to install uniflash in exactly the same way. But I get a segmentation fault:

Error: There has been an error.

Error running /opt/ti/uniflash_3.4/eclipse/uniflash -application

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository

"file://ccs_install/Uniflash_3.4.1.00012_linux/repo" -installiu

com.ti.ccstudio.p2tool.install.feature.group -destination

"/opt/ti/uniflash_3.4/eclipse" -nosplash: Segmentation fault

Press [Enter] to continue:

I have tried with various JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS without success . I have tried both in command line only and with the gui. Any pointer?

Here is the log:

2555.bitrock_installer.log

P.S. I can open a new thread if needed, but I thought that's largely related to this one.

There is nothing in the installation folder /opt/ti, and there are no other logs in /tmp

I've tried with the command ./uniflash_setup_3.4.1.00012.bin --debuglevel 4 --debugtrace debugtrace.log which gives the unreadable log below:

debugtrace.log

I have tried various things:

Installed the 3.4.1 in a virtual machine running the same ubuntu 16.04

I got exactly the same error as when installing with docker:

Error: There has been an error.
Error running /opt/ti/uniflash_3.4/eclipse/uniflash -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository
"software-dl.ti.com/.../repo"

Installed the 4.2.1 version in docker

Installed finished correctly, but got this error at launch

[105:1031/100011:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(162)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See code.google.com/.../LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.

Retried the 3.4.1 with more libraries

The 4.2.1 install detected some more missing libraries, so I tried to install them and rerun the 3.4.1 install. But it didn't help.

Do I need to install it in a physical ubuntu machine?

Alternatively, as I'm only interested in the creation of the gang programming file at the moment, is there any other way to create it? Using ccs in command line for instance?

I'm glad to know you could reproduce the issue! 

There seems to be a compatibility issue between the x86 v1.7 JVM we're using with that version of UniFlash and Ubuntu 16.04. Could you try getting the latest 1.8 32-bit JVM from java.com:

• untar it into a local folder
• rename /opt/ti/uniflash/eclipse/jre to /opt/ti/uniflash/eclipse/jre.bak  (or wherever you have installed UniFlash)
• copy the new 1.8 jvm you just untarred to ~/ti/uniflash/eclipse/jre
• Give UniFlash a try now.  This worked for me in so far as the application now starts.

Thank you for the feedback.

As I understand, the install and launch is all in one step, and when it fails at any point my /opt/ti directory is empty.

So I've packaged the jre 8 zip in the complete Uniflash install and tried it. 

I got this error instead:

Error running /opt/ti/uniflash_3.4/eclipse/uniflash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository "file://ccs_install/uniflash/repo" -installiu com.ti.ccstudio.p2tool.install.feature.group -destination "/opt/ti/uniflash_3.4/eclipse" -nosplash: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException: Error: file://ccs_install/uniflash/repo is not a valid extension location because it already contains a standard p2 repository file.

The folder /ccs_install/uniflash/repo contains: artifacts.jar  binary  content.jar  features

See the complete log.bitrock_installer_jre8.log

Thanks for the link, I've been able to extract it and run the command line.

But now I can not find the option that I need for the CC3200.

I want to create a gang file programming with the FW I built:

Update certificate, update /sys/mcuimg1.bin, update /sys/mcuimg2.bin, ... 

And output programming.bin

Can I do the first step?  (I don't mind hacking a bit of xml or else if needed)

Within the UI there is a gang programming section in the UI.  I have not used this myself.  Do you have access to a machine where you can run the UI.  It should be possible to add the images here and then export the Gang image and then use the command line tool to do the programming.

There is more information on the command line interface here:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3100_%26_CC3200_UniFlash#Command_Line_support

Le me know if this is not enough information and I will try to loop in a UniFlash expert.

Yes I was able to create a setup using the GUI uniflash. But what I'd like is for every new firmware build to "package" it using the command line uniflash. For this I could not find the option with the CC3200 command line (UniflashCLI.sh). From what I understand it's possible with standard command line (UniFlash.sh).

I understand I can use the GUI. But I wanted a fully automated solution for our automated tests: 

• Set the mcuimg1,2,3. 
• Set the Cert/1.crt
• Set a few other custom files
• Create a gang programming file

I'll lhave a look at the possibilities other than Uniflash.
