CODECOMPOSER: CCS 11.1.0.00011 linux version - "Open with XGCONF" doesn't work

Hi Ki,

I've installed ti-processor-sdk-rtos-am335x-evm-06.03.00.106-Linux-x86-Install.bin - this installs into ~/ti directory:

- bios_6_76_03_01

- pdk_am335x_1_0_17

- processor_sdk_rtos_am335x_6_03_00_106

- xcdtools_3_55_02_22_core

But CC Studio installed its own version of xcdtools into ~/ti/ccs1110 directory: xcdtools_3_62_01_16_core

Thanks. I installed the same versions of BIOS and XDCtools with my CCS 11.1.0 instalaltion on Ubuntu 20.04. When trying to open the cfg file with XGCONF, I initially had the same issue where a blank tab for the cfg file was opened and a small spinning circle doing nothing for awhile. After a long wait of a few minutes, the cfg file opened correctly with valid content. 

I assume in your case, the cfg file just remains blank - never displaying content. You mentioned CCS looking like it hanged. Did it actually hang where the entire IDE is not responsive?

Also, please attach your workspace log file. It should be in <WORKSPACE FOLDER>/.metadata/.log

Thanks

I've waited even 15 minutes and I think it is enough time to wait for loading file in XGCONF :)

It hangs completely, entire IDE is not responsive. I can only kill the process on console or in KDE system monitor.

OK, here is the log file.

Yes, I only wait like 1-2 minutes at most.

Thanks for the log. Can you also share your cfg file?

Thanks

Do you mean app cfg file which I try to open in XGCONF? I attach this cfg.

i2c_arm_bbam335x.cfg.zip

Thanks. I do not see any issue with this particular cfg. Do you have issues will all cfg files with XGCONF? Can you try creating a simple new project using the SYS/BIOS "Typical" project and see if the generated cfg from that project also has the issue?

Thanks

I've tried few sample projects and also tried to create new projects using SYS/BIOS "Typical" project - unfortunately all of this projects cfg cuases the same issue.

Thank you for trying it out. Perhaps it is specific to KDE Neon. This is not an environment we test on. I will see if I can set up such an environment and try it out.

Thanks

Thanks for replay. If you'll need some additional info or tests which I can do - please write :)

I'm setting up a KDE neon VM right now. It will take some time to configure. Once I have it set up, I'll see if I can reproduce the issue.

I set up a KDE neon 5.24 VM and installed CCS 11.1.0 on it. I am able to open your cfg file in xgconf. Hence it is not a KDE neon issue but something more specific to your local environment.

Have you tried some of the other troubleshooting tips like cleaning your workspace?

Glad to hear that installing the updates resolved the issue!
