CCS5 update

The screen shot TI sent is missing: Here it is:

HI Slobodan,

let me dig into this for you.

Regarding the connection settings.  Please see the screenshot below and try under the network connections.  You should be able to set up a connection with a user name and password here that hopefully might help.  The above screenshot is for CVS and I do not believe is generic and what you seek.

Regarding rebuild and "active project" status.  These are items that are no longer there simply due to the switch to using stock eclipse.  Since we no longer use a modified version, certain items had to change and remain as the eclipse community has provided them.   Instead of rebuild, simply do a clean and you can automatically build right after giving essentially the same functionality.

I am going to see if I can find a way to split the windows as you wish.  I have found the same, that a new window mirrors the current window in project/build selection.  As soon as I have feedback I will let you know.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hello again Slobodan,

I have been able to confirm that there is no work around to have two windows each with a different "active" project in v5.  This is another item that comes from the change to using an unmodified eclipse.   So sorry for any inconvenience.

Please let us know if between the above two posts this helps close off the current questions and items.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Lisa,

Thank you for a quick response.  I can live with not being able to do things from Q2
and Q3. I wish these features were not taken away. The "Rebuild" is not a big deal but I really wish
that being able to set two windows independently was not taken away. It will take a little bit to get
accustomed to it. I am sure I will compile wrong project about 100 times before I learn to click on
the project every time before I run compiler...

I still have an issue with getting to the update server. I added username and password to the
proxy settings. I had to change from "Native" to "Manual". In "Native" mode I could not get to the proxy settings
to enter the username and pasword.

However, with this setting the updata does not even start in a sense that there is no blue bar moving.
It is stuck in the folowing window:

When I use "Native" settings, I can not enter user name and password but I see the blue bar
moving. .

It get stuck at about 50% through. I let it run for more than an hour, the top blue bar did not move at all.
It looks like the update function is going through the list of web sites to check in circles. 
There is activity, it just never finishes. When I click "Cancel" it takes a while before the update
window is closed. So, there is something else that is missing. Any ideas?

I must add that Matlab does not have these problems. When I installed Matlab, the installation software
asked for proxy settings, user name and password and it just works. I was able to retrieve license information
and do on line activation.

Thank you.

Lisa,

I just ran into anothe rproblem and this one is critical. I can not compile the project!
Here is the error I get:

However, the "subdir_vars.mk" is the compiler generated file! How can it have a missing separator?
Here is the file:

I tried to insert the mk file but I got an error that this kind of file is not valid.

I deleted all files and subfolders in "Debug" folder in order to have CCS5 recreate those from the scratch but it did
not help.

Hi Slobodan,

ok I will do my best and may need to rely on help from a couple colleagues so please may I ask for a bit of patience.

Regarding the proxy/udpate.  Did you also configure the SSH2 settings and add the known hosts?

Regarding the "missing separator" error.  Do you think the information in these two posts might be of use/interest to you?

One potential cause might be, especially if you imported your project, leftover from some old build .... so a simple first suggestion is to try a fresh workspace and clear unnecessary data.

Please keep us informed.

Lisa,

I fixed CCS5 compilation problem by creating a project from the scratch and painfully reentering all options.
In other words, import from CCS4 has issues.

I do not understand anything you asked about SSH2. I do not know what SSH2 is.
The Known Hosts list is empty and I do not see a way to enter anything into that list.
Both left and right mouse click do not do anything when the cursor is in the list. There is
only "Remove" button on the right hand side and it is grayed out. What do you think should be there?

Hi Slobodan,

I think perhaps there might be nothing there because of the connection type of the hosts that have been added.

Regardless I am unfortunately no network security expert.  Let me see if I can dig into this and get an answer on all these eclipse proxy settings etc.

I am glad to hear you made progress with the project. 

Best Regards,
Lisa

Lisa,

I requested GE proxy people to add update web sites to the white list.
I submitted following web sites:

http://software-dl.ti.com

http://www.blackhawk-dsp.com

http://support.spectrumdigital.com

http://download.eclipse.org

In the intenet explorer, when we try to access a web site that is not on the white list,
IE will redirect to a GE page on which we have to click "OK" button to access it.
I think that may be the problem. I will let you know if the update works once proxy guys add these
sites to the white list. If I need to add some other sites to get update working let me know asap.

Thank you.

Hi Slobodan,

ok, that may be a way to get the updates going and let them through for sure.

What I would recommend is that you do the following :

Go to Window->Preferences->Install/Update->Available Software Sites

All the URLS etc are there so you can see what might be applicable for your situation (ie which emulation driver updates you want, any update sites for plug-ins you use, BIOS/xdc updates)..

Please let me know how it all goes.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Slobodan,

I just wanted to check on this case and see if the updates managed to go ok.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Slobodan,

ok, glad to hear things are underway and thanks for the update.

Best Regards,

Lisa
