CODECOMPOSER: TI Embedded Debug for VS Code on linux does not

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

I have tried various linux distributions and on all I could not install dependencies

   - error is cannot execute command: supported platform required

and

   - failed to check if dependencies are installed

Have not tried on osx or windows yet

Looking at the extension code I noticed hard coded 'windows' aspects (paths, apps etc)

It seems that only windows platform is coded/supported although there is no indication that would be the case

Although I have, most likely, all the external dependencies installed ( CCS various versions and the dev packs needed plus some other arm compilers) there is no obvious way to configure the extension

Pretty disappointing the path TI walks now

  • Hello,

    I have tried various linux distributions

    This extension is quite limited at the moment and is only really supported on Windows. 

    We plan to have a more fully featured extension in the future that supports other host OS platforms.

    Sorry for the confusion. I will  notify the team to clarify the dependencies in the extension description.

  • Any roadmap for the development?

    Where is the source code? I could do my own development to support the linux/mac platforms

    What is needed is:

      - more transparency

      - architectural info

      - configuration hints

    Thanks

  • Where is the source code? I could do my own development to support the linux/mac platforms

    We do have plans to update the extension to properly support linux/mac. This should be coming in a few weeks.

    I can also provide a link to the source for gdb and openOCD as this is open source. However I can not do so for our extension. Let me know if this is still of interest.

    Thanks
