CCSv5 on Ubuntu Target Configuration, does not find file it created

Host System: Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit

Code Composer Studio         Version: 5.1.0.09000

When running the "Test Configuration" from the Target Configuration - Advanced  menu  get the following error message.

[Start]

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -F inform,logfile=yes -S pathlength -S integrity

[Result]


  The [-f] option was used, but the board config
  file was not found or lacked read permission.
  Its name was: '"/home/bruce/.TI/3205019477/0/0/BrdDat/testBoard.dat"'.


[End]

Notes: The file is readable by the same user from an xterm or editor.

    -The file is readable from CCS -> File -> Open   menu selection.

This function works just fine on CCSv5 on Windows.

What's wrong?

Thanks,

Bruce.

  • When running Debug Configurations the following message appears.

    CCSv5 was installed with the 90day free trial setup. Does this message mean that a license is required?

    Could this be the problem, causing the error above?

    How do I resolve this?

  • Hi Bruce,

    when you opened CCS the first time ... did is prompt for a license type?  What did you select?

    What target and emulator do you wish to use?

    Yes, CCS requires a license.  There are various options described here

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Licensing_-_CCS

    I would resolve the license issue first and double check permissions.

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

  • When this one installed it did not ask for a licensing option.

    The target that we are using is the Spectrum Digital XDS560v2 STM that was purhcased earlier this week.

  • Hi Bruce,

    what do you see if you do

    Help->Code Composer Studio Licensing Information->Upgrade tab and then "Launch License Setup"?

    If you wish to use the XDS560v2, then you will require a full license as described on the wiki link I sent.  However, initially it is not a problem to do a trial license.

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Bruce,

    This specific error for "Test Connection" is a known bug in the Linux version of CCS 5.1. Please see this related thread.
