RTOS/TMS320C6654: Installing on Ubuntu 18.04

Part Number: TMS320C6654


Tool/software: TI-RTOS

I had the problem installing the processor SDK ti-processor-sdk-rtos-c665x-evm-05.02.00.10-Linux-x86-Install.bin on Ubuntu 18.04. I know that it should be installed on Ubuntu 16.04 but I moved to the new LTS and I can't go back just for this SDK. So I found a workaround until this gets fixed. 

  1. From the terminal run the setup of the SDK
    ./ti-processor-sdk-rtos-c665x-evm-05.02.00.10-Linux-x86-Install.bin
  2. When the process hangs at the end (do not cancel)
    open a new terminal (you can also use ctrl+z to send the process to the back and then fg to bring it back to the front when all the steps are done)

  3. Navigate to the installation directory in my case ~/ti/

  4. Run the sdk_install.sh 
    ./sdk_install.sh
  5. Once the sdk_install.sh is completed, go back to the original terminal from where we launched the bin file
    Ctrl+c to stop the process. Do not use cancel from the GUI because it will rollback the installation.

In my case, CCS was not able to detect the new product on its own when I launched it.

So from inside CCS:

Windows -> Preferences -> Code Composer Studio -> Products. Choose rediscover on the right and the newly installed SDK will get discovered and installed.

After this I was able to import the example project, clean it and build it successfully. 

I hope this helps will a fix is provided by TI.
