Problem building TivaWare on Linux

Dimitrios Pantelis

Hello all,

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit and Code Composer Studio v6. So, I downloaded "SW-TM4C-2.1.0.12573.exe" from ti.com and putted it in the following folder "/home/jim/ti/tivaware". Later opened my terminal in that location and unzip it

unzip ../SW-EK-TM4C123GXL-2.0.1.11577.exe

and it worked fine. The I tried to "make" it:

make

but I got the following error:

make[1]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jim/ti/tivaware/driverlib'
make[1]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found
make[1]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found

make[1]: *** [gcc/adc.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jim/ti/tivaware/driverlib'
make: *** [all] Error 2

What every I found on the internet said that this is the normal way to do it. So why am I getting this error?

Hi Dimitrios,

I believe that the driver lib is already builded, it should be in a folder.

Could you share the links of your findings?

When you say of my findings, what do you mean?

I mean this: "What every I found on the internet said that this is the normal way to do it. So why am I getting this error?"

So I found the solution. It was easy but I am not that much experienced in Linux with embedded systems yet, so dint get it.

Just went in to "Synaptic Package Manager" and looked for "arm-none-eabi-gcc". Installed it and that's it. This was a compiler I was missing.

If you followed CCS Linux installation guide I think you should already have that compiler.

I still have yet to understand what exactly you were doing, never had to do anything besides getting Tivaware into the correct folder.

I wrote at my original post what I did.

Let me write it again:
1) Downloaded "SW-TM4C-2.1.0.12573.exe"
2) Copied/pasted the file in "/home/*USERNAME*/ti/tivaware" ("tivaware" in the path a gave it a folder)
3) Opened a terminal in that path
4) Ran the command "unzip ../SW-EK-TM4C123GXL-2.0.1.11577.exe"
5) Then I ran the command "make"

It's after step 5 that I got the following error:

make[1]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jim/ti/tivaware/driverlib'
make[1]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found
make[1]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found
CC adc.c
make[1]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found
make[1]: *** [gcc/adc.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jim/ti/tivaware/driverlib'
make: *** [all] Error 2

What you are saying is that I only needed to unzip it, and that is all?

Now you are making me doubt my memory, but yes I only unziped it.

Now that I looked at the windows version, the exe file just "unzips" the files to the folder you choose. Maybe what I did was wrong. I will try to look better in to it to see if what I did was correct or not.

Thanks for the advice Luis Afonso :)
