Installing Code Composer Studio in Windows 11 on Parallels VM
This combination is not supported. I assume you are running an Arm version of Windows in Parallels. The issue you are hitting is likely unrelated but you will not be able to get the MSP430 debug probe to work. There is a native macOS version of CCS. Could you install that instead? https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO
Hi John. I have the native macOS version up and running. However, MacOS isn't supported by mmwave_studio. That's the reason, I had to attempt installing TI tools on Windows 11 with Parallels VM. At present I don't need MSP430 debugging, if that's the issue.
Looks like Im stuck with nowhere to go - still stuck with getting the right tool chain working for me.
Do you have suggestions to get out of this and begin with actual mmwave board evaluation, which Im really longing to try.
Yeah for mmWave you are not going to have an official solution on macOS. But what you could try is the following. Install CCS in Parallels but do a custom install and do not install support for MSP430 (that should avoid the issue you are seeing in the MSP430 FET installer). Once you have done that you are going to need to update the XDS110 drivers. That is discussed at the end of this thread:
However, I need to note that this is an unsupported combination. I know a couple of people are using this successfully right now but we are not testing on Windows for Arm at this time. We do test macOS CCS on M1-based macs but we do not support or test Windows CCS on Arm.
Could install CCS with custom install without MSP430. The welcome window on the starting screen of CCS has a error message which reads " Failed to create part controls". Im yet to install xds110 drivers, though.
That sounds like an issue with the browser that is used in the Welcome page. I don't recall that being reported from others trying on Arm Windows. If the browser is not working this will also impact Resource Explorer.
I havent checked with CCS yet. Was moving through Uniflash and demo visualizer.
From my experience with Uniflash and XDS drivers on Mac, they are not a working solution. Mac shows only one COM port, but Uniflash doesnt accept one port to proceed.
Will try with CCS now that I could get the demo visualizer working.
