CCS/CCSTUDIO: CCSv8 installation stuck for Ubuntu 18.04

Part Number: CCSTUDIO


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

i am trying to install CCSv8 at my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine but every try got stuck at the same line (screen attached). I followed the instructions at this link, but cannot get pass the "Install CCS" step.

The interessting thing is that I even did not mark the support for the C6000 family.

What can I do?

  • Hello,
    Can you please provide your installation logs? They can be found in:

    <CCS_INSTALL_DIR>/ccsv7/install_logs
    <CCS_INSTALL_DIR>/ccsv7/install_logs_<several_numbers>

    Thanks

  • I attached the logs. As I said, is about ccsv8 that I tried to install (online and offline installer), ccsv7.4 does work.

  • Thank you for the logs. There is an issue with the C6000 compiler installer on Ubuntu 18.04. This appears to be the same issue. We are working on a resolution and I will keep you posted.

    What device support did you select? It would only try to install the C6000 compiler if the device support options selected have a C6x CPU.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    As Ki mentioned, the issue is located in the C6000 compiler 8.2.2 installer, which uses an older version of the Install Builder that is incompatible with Ubuntu releases 17.10 and newer. This compiler is part of several device families such as Sitara, DaVinci and others.

    To workaround this issue, do the following:

    - Extract the attached .zip file to the same location as the installer executable ccs_setup_linux64_8.0.0.00016.bin
    - Run the installer and go through the selections.The installation should complete normally
    - Run CCS
    - Go to menu HelpInstall New Software
    - In the drop-down option Work with:, select Code Generation Tools Updates
    - Make sure that all checkboxes are checked at the bottom of this screen
    - Expand the TI Compiler Updates branch and select the C6000 Compiler Tools version 8.2.3
    - Finish the compiler install procedure - a restart of CCS will be required.
    - To verify a successful installation, go to menu WindowPreferencesCode Composer StudioBuildCompilers. The C6000 compiler should be listed in the Discovered Tools view. 

    Notes:
    - When running CCS for the first time, Ubuntu will ask you to trust and install the application.
    - If you install CCS as sudo, you will have to run it as sudo to install the updated compiler

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi Rafael,

    thanks for the fix, I managed to successfully install CCSv8. As written in a previous comment: I do not even need the C6000 Compiler tools but wasnt aware that they are needed for other device families (Sitara in my case).

    However, the C6000 Compiler Tools were also successfully added to my list of "Installed Software", though they do not appear in the list of "Discovered Tools" (because I did not selected them at the installation process?).

    Anyway, thanks for the support. I will try to get some things to work here. If I have any further problems I will let you know.
