CODECOMPOSER: Code Composer 6.1 Not a regular file error.

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

Hello running code composer 6.1 , when trying to work off of a Linux network drive, we get an error of "not a regular file".  But if we move the app and code to the local scratch disk it will run.  Has anyone seen this error  before?

    I've seen something similar on Windows when referencing linked files with a UNC path instead of with a mapped drive. 

    That said:

    I see "css_base" in the file path. Is this correct? Typically this folder is named is "ccs_base". 

  • Sorry, that was a mistype on my side , I was manually typing it in from another screen.  The command run was ccs_base.  Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Note that CCS 6.x is very old and completely unsupported. Would it be possible to update to a more recent version? CCS 20.1 is the latest but CCS 20.x is based on a completely new IDE framework. CCS 12.8 would be the last CCS version based on the same Eclipse IDE framework as CCS 6.x. While CCS 12.x has been deprecated in support, it may come with an Eclipse IDE version that addresses some of the issues you are experiencing.

  • Yeah , unfortunately we are running it on a legacy program and creating a new build, so we are not allowed to upgrade at this time, just thought it would be worth checking, on this oddity. Thanks.

    I just realized that this looks like a build error from the compiler. Can you provide the full build output in the console? You can copy and paste to a text file and attach that file to this thread.
