CCS5.4 installation failure

David,

Is there a reason you need build 85? The released build for CCSv5.4 is 91.  The release candidate build is no longer available.

Hi

I used the download link here:

http://software-dl.ti.com/sdoemb/sdoemb_public_sw/mcsdk/latest/index_FDS.html

which is for build 85.

Where can I find a link for release 91?

We're looking at why the MCSDK has linked to the release candidate, but in the meantime, the 5.4 released build can be downloaded using the links on the CCS wiki page here:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v5

David,

Please download CCSv5.4 from this site: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v5

It appears that the MCSDK that you have received is referencing a non-released version of CCS; we are working on correcting this problem.

Ok, I have now downloaded release 91 but I still see:

The downloaded file was only 3.6MB. Is that correct?

David

This is the web installer, so 3.6MB is correct.

If you put this URL in a browser, does it display the timestamp file correctly?

Sometimes proxies can get in the way of the web installer being able to complete its downloads. If you can't get that working, you have the option of downloading the complete zip file from here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS#Code_Composer_Studio_Version_5_Downloads

The timestamp did open correctly (in Notepad).  Anyway, I will now download the complete zip file for release 91 and try that.  But I am not very hopeful that I will get a better result because I used the earlier failure was for the complete zip file for the release candidate, i.e. not the web installer.

David,

The previous failure was due to MCSDK referencing a pre-release version of CCS, which has since been removed from our website.

The full download / unzip / install of CCSv5.4 Build 91 should work for you.

Ok, thanks. It will take a while to download. I'll let you know the result.

Am I ok to use MCSDK 03_00_00_10 or is there a more recent version?

David

3.0.0.10 is indeed the latest MCSDK release.

Hi

I have realised where I was going wrong. Having downloaded the full (i.e. offline) installer I opened the zip and ran ccs_setup_5.4.0.00091.exe from within it.  That always gave me the error message shown above, regardless of which release I was using.  I then read README_FIRST and realised that I must first extract the files from the zip to the installation folder and then run ccs_setup_5.4.0.00091.exe from there.  This seems to be different behaviour than for CCS 5.3 and before.

I think the instructions at http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/CCSv5/CCS_5_4_0/exports/ReleaseNote.htm could be improved.
