CCS5.2.1.00018 crash during C6616 simulator initialization

Hi Mateusz,

Mateusz Bielecki said:

My OS configuration is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64. I will appreciate support, reinstalling is no use.

I tried CCSv5.2.1 with the same OS config and no issues with the TCI6616 simulator. Did it ever work or was it broken from the start? 

Thank you for the log. Was a crash dump file generated also (*.dmp)?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for reply.  There is no *.dmp files generated (at least it's not present in home directory or /var/lib/installjammer). I tried today with code composer 5.1.1.00033 but problem is the same. To be honest I don't think it ever worked cause I always used real hardware processor till now. The strange thing is that C6488 Simulator works like a charm and crash occures only with C66 family (functional and cycle accurate). Second strange thing is that code composer somehow spreads all over the system during installation and uninstall doesn't work quite right. Many directories are left e.g /var/lib/installjammer; ~/.eclipse; ~/.TI, etc To run uninstaller it I had to manualy run uninstall as sudo with --debugconsole flag. Otherwise graphical windows of uninstall doesn't show up. Is there some way to remove all code composer files from system and try fresh installation? Is code composer somehow dependent on system jre and java libraries? I'm using gnome3 desktop environment but I doubt it has impact on ccs behaviour. What information do You need for investigation? When launching target configuration first I'm getting window with information "Can't Initialize Target CPU:
Could not initialize the simulator driver. Check the Configuration File" and if I press "Retry" then crash occurs if I press no code composer is left alive.

Can we arrange remote session or something similar?

Hi, maybe some more details,

now using Code Composer 5.1.1.00033 I'm getting error running from from command line:

I cut down the link to log file

Here is a related thread with a similar error: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/203158.aspx

Thanks for reply, but I already dig through forum and it doesn't solve the problem. Strange thing is that on ours two other machines with ubuntu 12.04 x64 ccs simulator is working fine.

Which Kernel is on the machines with working simulator ? And did you install the latest updates on this machines?

System is up to date, kernel version is "3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:03:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

difference in Java Version?

sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 4 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

What else can we compare?

I haven't got idea. I'm using gnome3 as my desktop manager but that's not the cause. The question is why C64+ simulator is working and C66XX not.

That's a new information for me. I try TCI6488 an it is working.

I think it doesn't matter what java you have installed, cause CCS is shipped with it's own jre. Can You provide me with list of major directories which are created during ccs installation. I noticed that even after running uninstaller CCS is leaving a lot of stuff on hardrive and I'm not talking about config folders (.xxx) but there are some directories in /var/lib/installjammer/ ; ~/.cp/com/ti; etc.. Maybe there is some version mismatch after upgrade to latest CCS.

No and I don't have a ~/.cp folder.

I have a lot of files in /var/lib/installjammer (also some install log files are available).

I try to delete ~/.TI folder as explained in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCSv5#Debugger. But this don't help.

Ok, some time passed but it seems that problem affects all ubuntu 12.04 KTS fresh installs after upgrade. We tried to install CCS on new ubuntu X64 12.04 LTS fully upgraded and always the problem is the same.  Core i5, core 2Duo, Intel Xeon, behaviour is always the same as described earlier. C6616/C6618 simulator is crashing down.

Solved in CCS 5.3.0 RC1:
