TMS320VC5510A: Unable to install C55xx addon to brand new installation of code composer 10.4 on Ubuntu 18.04

Part Number: TMS320VC5510A

I just installed code composer 10.4 on Ubuntu 18.04. I downloaded the full installer and selected the "C55x ultra-low-power DSP" component. The installer ran without a hitch, but when I go to create a new CCS project for the target C551x, CCS tells me 'No compilers are currently installed for this device-family. Click 'View > CCS App Center' to install a compiler before creating a project for this device.' I then go there and select the C5500 Compiler, but when I hit "Install Software" I get a dialog saying "Failed to install the selected add-ons. Please see error log file ...". On the "Eclipse log" I get an error that might be relevant, but I could be mistaken:

I read on a similar post that somebody suggested trying to manually install the addon, but the link to the solution was broken. Is there any way to do that? Or is there any other workaround? I found some other relevant posts, but no solution or workaround seem to apply to my case

Thanks

  • Sorry about the noise, I was able to solve the problem myself. Just in case somebody else finds this useful, I'll detail what I did:

    I downloaded the compiler from here: 

    http://software-dl.ti.com/codegen/non-esd/downloads/download_archive.htm#C5500

    After I ran that installer, I tried to create a project again, selected the target, and then went to the "more" button at the far right of the "Compiler version". There it opens up a preferences page and under "Code Composer Studio->Build->Compiler" I hit the "Add..." button and pointed it to the location of the newly installed compiler, "Apply and Close" and was able to create my project. Now I got a bunch of compiler errors, but that's a good problem to have
