controlSUITE update error: Invalid updates configuration file

Robert Beekmans

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

The current updates configuration file on the controlSUITE update server location contains an error that should be fixed to retrieve updates.

The URL in the v3.2.3 section contains an “erroneous new line character” resulting in a blank URL.

In the file updates.aiu the following should be changed:

[controlSUITE_v3p2p3]

Name = controlSUITE v3.2.3 Updater

URL =

http://software-dl.ti.com/C2000/c2000_apps_public_sw/updates/controlsuiteupdater_v3.2.3.msi

Size = 71463424

Description = controlSUITE GUI Updates, New PinMux Utility, and more!

Feature1 = controlSUITE GUI Updates

Feature2 = Pin Mux Utility v102

RegistryKey = HKLM\Software\Texas Instruments, Inc.\ControlSUITE\Version

Version = >= 3.2.3

Depends = controlSUITE_v3p2p2

to get it working again in:

[controlSUITE_v3p2p3]

Name = controlSUITE v3.2.3 Updater

URL = http://software-dl.ti.com/C2000/c2000_apps_public_sw/updates/controlsuiteupdater_v3.2.3.msi

Size = 71463424

Description = controlSUITE GUI Updates, New PinMux Utility, and more!

Feature1 = controlSUITE GUI Updates

Feature2 = Pin Mux Utility v102

RegistryKey = HKLM\Software\Texas Instruments, Inc.\ControlSUITE\Version

Version = >= 3.2.3

Depends = controlSUITE_v3p2p2

See attached corrected updates.aiu file as well.

Hi Robert,

I have just installed ControlSuite 3.2.9 and have the same failure to update problem. However I don't seem to be able to find the updates.aiu file you refer to.

Thanks for pasting the screenshot. Now I'm pretty much sure what issue you're facing :)

All you've to do is to run controlSuite application in "Run as Administrator" mode. Something like this:

Once, the application opens you can check for updates.

Hi Gautam,

I have just joined the community and as yet I don't know how to close the thread. I can't see an obvious button for this. In the general notes on using E2E I see reference to a green "verify" button but I can't see it on the page which shows the posting and your response. I'm not even sure if hitting the "verify" button is the same as closing the thread. My original message was actually a reply to and existing thread on the controlsuite update issue so I'm not sure if I can close the thread. Can you clarify this for me and if I can close it I will do so promptly.

Cheers

Dave

Actually, you're not the thread owner and hence you can't close the thread! Please open a new thread from next time onwards as that would be easier for other users to track the posts.

Goodluck & Regards,

Gautam
