CODECOMPOSER: CCSTUDIO 20.1.1 running in Docker

Hi,

Just a short update. CCS 20.1.1 works fine using Virt-Manager but not LXD or Incus VM's. It is important to us that installation/configuration can be done using a script so please prioritize this.

Besat regards Peter

Thank you for the additional details. I have added them to the internal notes for the ticket.

Hi,

I've managed to get CCS 20.1.1 working using a Incus VM with Debian Bookworm, so it is somehow related to Ubuntu. I've pasted a script below and expect it to work with LXD as well. Please not that the CCS install_drivers.sh needs to be run and the USB must be detached/attached for the drivers to activate.

Regards Peter

Hi Peter, 

When you said 20.1.1 is not working, where exactly was the issue? The reason I'm asking is because I had tried installing the same version inside docker and the importing and building worked fine through commands. But I did face failures at random times but mounting a different volume mostly had solved the issue. I now have to work with Azure VMs and there also the basic commands have worked fine (import and build), but I would like to gain insight into the potential challenges I might face as I continue.

Thanks and Regards,

Sudeshna

Hi Sudeshna,

The issue is connecting to a Launchpad like the CC1310 via USB and use the debugger. Trying to connect using CCS 20.1.1 result in a COM port error, but everything else is ok.

Best regards Peter
