CCSV6 Update not working?

Hi Frank,

At my end it, I get following updates (works fine):

CCS v6 & OS: Win7 64bit

Try "Check for Updates" after sometime.

I guess

This does not answer my question, "try it after some time" is not an "engineering-like" answer, I'd like to know, what exactly is not working correctly. I have a 2nd PC (same OS, same installation), where the update works, at least for the next step. After actually starting the updates and a few more clicks, the update process stops with the following error  message:  

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.cpp, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

A qualified answer would be welcome.

Frank, that was not an answer but just a suggestion. I just updated you with what was happening at my end!

Also, "No repository found" issues happen due to software not able to contact the server.

Gautam

It looks like you may have two separate issues here, but I'm unable to see the attachments in your first post.

On the first machine, could you check to see if you have any update sites listed in Window->Preferences-> Install/Update-> Available software sites. 

On the second machine, it looks like either you're unable to connect to the update sites due to network issues, or your eclipse proxy settings are incorrect. Could you go to Window->Preferences->General->Network Connections and switch the "Active Provider" from Manual to Native and try again.

Hi Danish,

thanks for looking into th issue.

PC1:  Available Software sites"  is empty.

PC2: the Active Provider is already set to "Native" (see attachment).  I tried to Change that from "Native" to "Manual" and back but both tests did not bring any effect. The update starts and shows some new modules. When I start the update an error message pops up (see attachment).

Thanks

Frank

Hi dear sirs,

I´m suffer for the same issue, this happens only in my Win8 64bit, but in WinXP 32bit all work fine:

I tried to disable all windows protection mechanisms but still not work.

The bellow update selected are the only ones that not complete due to issue reported.

Hi,

I'm looking into this issue but I must admit I'm stumped. I will update with information as soon as I have something.

Thank you for your patience.

Danish

Tales,

I noticed a few updates sites in your list of available sites which would not normally be present. Could you try disabling these sites and and the retry your update operation.  The sites to be disabled are:

If you still see the error, could then try the following and let us know what happens:  Go to the help->install new software dialog. Select the "TI emulation" site in the "work with" drop-down.  Try to install this update. Does it install as expected? 

Frank,

Could you also have a look at your list of available update sites on PC#2? If you see any that start with "file:" or have "linux" in the location string, could you disable those and re-try the update?

If you are still seeing a problem could you perform the same test as mentioned above: Go to the help->install new software dialog. Select the "TI emulation" site in the "work with" drop-down.  Try to install this update.

Thanks dear Andy,

I tried to disable the sites indicated above but nothing changed, so i did what you has advised as second option and follows the results....

Dear Andy here are some other infos to help you in help me

Thanks for the very detailed info Tales.

I'm still looking for some leads as to what is causing this.  Could you run another experiment?  

• Exit CCS, Delete the following folders and try to install the same emulation update you tried above:
  • <installdir>\ccsv6\eclipse\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core\cache
  • <installdir>\ccsv6\eclipse\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository\cache
• Does that change anything?

Andy,

I don't have any "file" or "Linux" sites shown on my PC#2 (see attachment).

On my PC#1 the list of available sites is totally empty. Any ideas for this one?

Frank

Andy,

I deleted the two caches on both PC#1 and PC#2 - it did not change anything...

Not sure if this is related:   On both PC's I use "Full Licenses" (PC1 :  Flexlm, PC2: Node locked). Regarding the license Manager I observed another strange behaviour:   After a few CCS-starts the "Full License" is replaced by a "free license". When I reinstall the link to the license file (PC2) or Server (PC1) CCS Switches back to "full license", but only for a few starts...

Hi Andy,

As Frank, i deleted this two caches dir but the issue remain, after this i try to update CCS, download starts but after the below message was showed:

I reinforce that in my winXP 32 platform all is working fine, updates were concluded without any issue unlike in my primary platform Win8 64

Frank, Tales,

Thank you for the updates. Tales's post give me another idea that is worth a test.  Would you be able to exit CCS, browse to <install_dir>\ccsv6\eclipse and edit a file called "ccstudio.ini" in a text editor.  At the end of the file, could you add these lines:

-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.readTimeout=30000
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.closeTimeout=10000
-Dsun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout=30000
-Dsun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout=10000

Note the ccstudio.ini file may have Unix line endings so you may need to open it in a editor that can handle that.

After making this change, start CCS and try to apply the same update that was previously failing. 

Frank,

Regarding the PC#1 empty update site list: what OS and version of CCS is this?  There was a problem with earlier versions of the eclipse software where the update site list could get wiped out if the installation folder was not writeable. This was one of the reasons we did not want CCS installed into "Program Files" on Windows. This issue was marked as fixed in the eclipse version we use with CCS v6 though.

Regarding the odd license behaviour: The license component is very separate from updates so the odd behaviour you are seeing there is unlikely to be directly related. I guess there could be something far down the stack that is causing both but at the moment I don't' see the relationship. We need need to split off the investigation of that issue into a separate thread if it continues and is causing you a problem.

Andy,

PC#1 is a Windows7, 64-bit. CCS is Version 6.0.0.00190.  The instllation path is "C:\CCSv6"  - so i did neither use "program files"  nor "C:\ti"

Regarding the License I'll post a new thread.

Thanks

Andy,

it did not help.   As you suggested I extended ccstudio.ini using UltraEdit to keep the Unix EOL with the 4 lines from above. The result is as before, after the updater has recognized available updates and after accepting the license dialog, the download starts. After  a few seconds the error message "No repository found containing..." popa up for all sites.

Frank

HI,

I am also having problems with updates on CCSV6. Machine is Win 7 64 bit and I also have node locked licence.

I have a problem with downloading an emulator update.

This update shows up correctly.

It also appears that MSP430Ware have been updated to V1.90.. but I onlyu have 1.80.1.03 installed and get no prompts to update it.

The display in App Center also shows "Up to Date"

Regards

Hi Andy,

For me the same behavior as before, my install dir is the original from TI install wizard "C:\ti\ccsv6"

Tales, Frank,

Going back to Tales post from June 27 (where Tales tried to install just the emulation update by using the "Install New Software" menu item. I have copied this same update to the locations below. The idea is to attempt to see if how the update is hosted affects what you see on your side.  Could go to the install new software menu item, and try to install the emulation update using each of the URLs below in sequence.  If one of them installs, then you will not be able to use the remaining ones. That's OK though, as we would still be getting some more data on the problem.

When using the "Install New Software" dialog, please uncheck the option for "Contact all update sites during the install to find required software". This is in the lower left of the dialog box.

1. TI hosted, and using third-party distribution/caching. This should be the same behaviour as the current location.

http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/test/Emulation/full

2. TI hosted, but not using our third-party distribution and caching provider

http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/non-esd/test/Emulation/full

3. Non-TI hosted on external web-hosting provider (test site)

http://www.go-dsp.com/sdo/Emulation/full

Hi Andy,

I set up the first URL in the Install new software dialog:

Put a tick in the checkbox and it downloaded Ok. Requested a restart and did the install with no errors.

However, on start-up CCS still indicates that there are updates available for MSP430 Emulators V6.0.0.14. Using the standard update process here results in the original error and  the Installation details dialog is still showing V5.1.507.1

I have attached a zip file with the install logs:

Hi dear Andy,

Thanks so much for your attention,

From my first attempt i get the following error:

After i tried to install with the second link TI Emulation was installed successfully.

So i tried to install the remaining updates: Hercules Emulation 6.0.3, C2800 Compiler Tools, MSP430 Compiler Tools and Emulators but many other errors was displayed me.

I decided to proceed with the same procedure you advised me in previous case and remaining updates worked fine.

I disabled the option "Contact all update sites during the install to find required software" in all installation procedures, but i had to do one at a time.

Now i´m glad to show you the following print:

Thanks Andy for your prompt attention with me.

Best Regards

Tales Amorim

Likewise, I'm installing on Win 7 x64, and get:

Keith, I'm not able to see your screenshot. I'd like to arrange to get some other data from you if possible. Could you send me an email at the address in my profile?
