NDK update problem

Hello,

I'm using CCS5 IDE.

I have downloaded the newest version of the NDK, namely ndk_2_20_06_35.

I have extracted the NDK's folder into the installation folder of the CCS and launched the CCS.

The IDE started updating the plugin but became stuck. I have closed the CCS via Task Manager and relaunched it.

When I look into my project properties, the variable named NDK_INSTALL_DIR  still points to the older version of the NDK.

If I go to Window->References->RTSC->Products, the ndk_2_20_06_35  is marked by an exclamation mark and it says "NDK v2.20.6.35 defines no repositories".

I tried to delete the NDK's folder from the CSS install folder, launch the CCS, closed it, returned back the NDK's folder and relaunched the CCS, but nothing changed.

How can I fix it?

  • Which version of CCSv5 are you using?   You might need to use CCSv5.1 for NDK 2.20.06.

  • I'm using CCS5.1.0.09000_win32_1.

  • It sounds like something got corrupted in CCS. I'm moving this to the CCS forum.

  • Hi Anatoly,

    did you also try adding if from that Product area?  ie in Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->RTSC->Products ... did you try adding it there?

    What happens if you manually delete the folder, extract/install once again and try the above method?

    Best Regards,

  • Hello, Lisa.

    I tried all you mentioned, but nothing happens.

    What file exactly I need to add via Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->RTSC->Products?

  • Hi Anatoly,

    when you go to that Products section and select add, you should point CCS to the ndk installation directory.  If you point it to the correct directory it should then find it, add it to the list and prompt you to restart CCS.

    How and where did you install the NDK?

    Best REgards,

  • Lisa,

    I did the thing you mentioned. The folder was added to the Tool Discovery Path in the Window->Prereces->Code Composer Studio->RTSC->Products, but nothing else happened, the CCS still doesn't "know" the NDK.

    I need the CCS to work properly with the NDK for my current development in a bit urgent way. What are suggested solutions for this?

  • Hi Anatoly,

    how did you install the NDK?  Could you possibly send a couple screenshots of what you see?  Would you be willing to install the latest CCS release (a version of 5.1 was just released on the 7th) and try with that version?  What other RTSC items do you have installed?  Do you get any messages or errors?

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

  • Lisa,

    I copied the ndk folder into the CCS installation directory. I have installed the previous NDK versions the same way, but deleted them in order to have only one updated version of the NDK installed. Now I tried to re-install the previous versions of the NDK, and nothing happens as well.

    I have the 5.1.0.09000 version of CCS.

    If the newer version of CCS is completely compatible with the previous one, and there're no problems to migrate my projects and code into it, I'd like to have the newer version.

    Thank you.

  • Hi Anatoly,

    I tried to reproduce this but could not.  I successfully installed the NDK by doing the folloinwg

    1 - downloaded the latest version

    2 - put the zip file at the same level as my ccsv5 folder so I have both these in the same folder and can see both together

    3 - did an "extract to here" to extract the NDK

    4 - Opened CCS

    5 - Went to Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->RTSC->Products

    6 - selected "add"

    7 - pointed to the ndk folder that was at the same level as the ccsv5 folder

    8 - was asked if I wanted to install unsigned software and said "yes"

    9 - when that was done, I selected "apply"

    10 - was told I needed to restart CCS, and selected to do so

    11 - CCS restarted with the NDK successfully installed

    Could you please try again following these exact steps?  Let us know how it works do that.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

  • Lisa,

    I have accomplished each step till 7-th, including it.

    The 8-th step and later on didn't appear to CCS.

    I'm waiting for the installation mail to CCS 5.1.1.

    Is it compatible to the previous versions in all terms? Can I migrate my projects and code into it without any standard library/DSP_BIOS or other tools issues?

  • Hi Anatoly,

    hmm odd.  What do you see in the zip file?  Have you tried redowloading in case of a corrupted download?  Do you have administrator privileges?

    You can get the latest release here and yes it is fully compatible with the tools you are using

    So that is something you can try as well.  We have seen slightly similar issues installing a code generation tool version.  If the above two steps don't work, perhaps try the patch in this thread.

    Please keep us informed how the above works.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

  • I have deleted the CCS and installed the newer version of 5.1.1

    It looks fine. The ndk has been updated.

    Thank you.

  • Hi Anatoly,

    ok, great.   Glad to hear that 5.1.1 and the NDK are now setup for you.

    Thanks for the update and all the best with development.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa
