CCS v5.1.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, doesn't start

Richard Hutchings

Hi

My PC is dual boot, and for DSP development I've been using the Windows boot. CCS 5.1.0 runs happily under that, but now I find I also need to compile other code, in a linux environment. We're on Ubuntu 10.04 (corporate decision, don't shoot me!).

I installed CCS 5.1.0 using all the defaults (/opt/ti). It seems to have installed ok, but when I select the program, all I get is the splash screen and then nothing. It has just closed down.

Any pointers anyone?

Thanks

Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Are you using a 64 bit version?  If so you will need to install 32 bit support.  

    Please double check this as well as see the linux instructions below to ensure all dependencies and packages you need are installed into your Ubuntu installation.

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Lisa

    Yes, it is a 64bit installation, but I don't pretend for a moment to be an expert on linux.

    My Ubuntu does already have ia32 installed, but I have also discovered that bog-standard 32-bit Eclipse won't run either. I have attempted to see if the list of libraries are installed, but as they are not referenced by package, this is taking some time to work through by attempting to cross-reference to a package in which the library may be installed. I'm having limited success, and meanwhile I'm back in Windows, as I have a real job to get on with too :-)

    Thanks for your help

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Linux is unfortunately not my best area either.  However if generic eclipse also has problems, I suspect that 32 bit support might still be an issue.  Did you/could you try installing the 32 bit support driver/package we recommend in the installation instructions I sent?  Did you run the installation with full permissions?

    Best Regards,

    Hi Lisa

    I seem to be having a bit of success, so I'll document what I did:

    I downloaded (again) standard Eclipse 32bit (the basic version without CDT or Java or anything), and again confirmed that it didn't run.

    I downloaded a new JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from Sun, using the 'self-extractor', and installed this into /usr/java32/jre1.6.0_31, and then modified eclipse.ini to include

    -vm

    /usr/java32/jre1.6.0_31/bin

    and hey-presto, Eclipse started up. So I added the same two lines to eclipse.ini found in ccs5/eclipse.

    Alas, no success. Eclipse a.k.a. CCS5 was now complaining it couldn't open a workspace - because it was trying to add a workspace into /opt/ti/.... somewhere. So I tried a command line

    eclipse -configuration ~/ti_eclipse

    but still no joy.

    When I had installed CCS5, I did so as root, so I changed the owner and group of /opt/ti to relfect my username and a group I belong to. Again, the command line and Aha! It fired up!!!!!!

    Yet to actually see if it'll compile my project, talk to the XDS510USBPlus etc., but I seem to be getting there. And I can then work on both sides of the project without having to reboot my PC a thousand times a day (slight exaggeration...).

    Regards

    Richard
