CCSTUDIO: Code Composer Studio CCS 21.8.1 Linux installation fails

Robert Stix

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

Dear TI Support Team,

We use Code Composer Studio in several of our university courses with our students. Currently, two of our students are experiencing the same problem when attempting to install CCS version 21.8.1 on their Linux systems.

Attached are two screenshots of the error messages they received during the installation. The error text is as follows:

CCS_ERROR: Unable to install executable /tmp/cs_[id-number]/DMED/ti_cgt_dmed_1.1.6_linux_installer_x86.bin: 
Error running /tmp/cs_[id-number]/DMED/ti_cgt_dmed_1.1.6_linux_installer_x86.bin 
--prefix "opt/ti/ccs1281/ccs" 
--eclipseprefix "opt/ti/ccs1281/ccs/eclipse" 
--mode unattended 
--installer-log ""opt/ti/ccs1281/ccs/install_logs/[id-number]" 
--ccs true: child process exited abnormally.

Could you please advise on how we can successfully install CCS on these notebooks?

Any assistance or troubleshooting steps you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Robert

    Hello,

    Which Linux distro is being used? Please note that Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04 are the suppported Linux distributions.

    Thanks

    Hello Ki,

    Thank you for taking care of my issue.
    I know it’s not Ubuntu, but I’d really appreciate some hints on where to start. I can’t ask my students to switch their operating systems.
    I believe the systems are probably running Arch Linux.
    Thanks in advance!

    I will bring this thread to the attention of the installer experts. Please note that since this is an unsupported environment, we may be limited in how much support we can provide.

    Currently, most of our 'Linux' students seem to use Arch Linux. Since version 12.8.1 is the last one before the switch to Theia, and since we do not currently know if or when we will be able to upgrade to version 20+, it would be very helpful to have a reliable solution for our students' installation difficulties.

    Robert,

    Do you know if the students are installing CCS as 'sudo' and if not, could you ask them to try that? Also, can you ask them to look for the install logs in <CCS_INSTALL _DIR>/ccs/install_logs/2025*/ and attach the logs here? Specifically, dmed_install.log and ccs_install_12.8.1.00005.log

    Hello Michael,



    This is the content of the install_logs directory. 
    Are you interested in one of these files?
    Do I have to look anywhere else for dmed_install.log and ccs_install_12.8.1.00005.log?

    Thank you for taking care of my issue.

    Hello Robert,

    Sorry for the delayed response. We are unsure what the issue is. Arch Linux is not a supported Linux distro so we have minimal experience. That said, there are others that have successfully used CCS on it. 

     Code Composer v11 and v12 not working on Linux 

    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccstudio

    Looks like this user had the same DMED install issue: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccstudio#comment-1024213

    Thanks
