Need CCS 5.4 arm compiler update on Ubuntu

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi,

I have installed on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit the CCS Code Composer Studio Version: 5.4.0.00091 since I need the arm compiler at least version 5.0.7 from: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS#Code_Composer_Studio_Version_5_Downloads

By default, it has arm compiler version 5.0.4 under /opt/ti/ccsv5/tools/compiler/arm_5.0.4, but I need arm 5.0.7 or later.

Problem is that when I try to check for update "Help - Check for update". The pop up window shows No Updates Found because There are no update sites to search. Do you wish to open the "Available Software Sites" preferences?

If you install the Windows version, then you are able to perform "Help - Check for update" and able to update the ARM compiler tool and get the arm_5.0.10 version.

How to get arm_5.0.10 version on Ubuntu/Linux?

I did export the bookmark.xml from the windows and apply to CCS on Ubuntu and still not getting the arm compiler update.

Please help on providing the correct bookmark.xml to get the arm compiler version 5.0.7 or 5.0.10.

Thanks.

    In addition, I have looked at: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Updating_CCSv5#Managing_Update_Sites.2FServers but no information of the available software sites.

    Then I tried to modify the available sites. I finally found this site:

    Code Generation Tools Updates – http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2linux

    With that, it gives the “TI Compiler Updates – ARM Compiler Tools version 5.0.10” available to install.

    But when trying to install it I am getting message:

    “Cannot complete the request. See the error log for details.

    ARM Compiler Tools will be ignored because it is already installed, and updates are not permitted.”

     

    I tried to uninstall “ARM Compiler Tools – 5.0.4”, the options to uninstall not even available.

    As a work around (solution to get ARM 5.0.10), I am installing the CCS 5.5.0 (Build# 5.5.0.00077) - Linux:  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS#Code_Composer_Studio_Version_5_Downloads

    To get ARM 5.0.10, on CCS window – “Help – Install New Software”, new window “Install” will pop up.

    Choose/select from the list for “Work with” to “Code Generation Tools Updates – http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2linux”

    Click on the arrow for “TI Compiler Updates” – check the box for ARM Compiler Tools – version 5.0.10.

    It will install the arm_5.0.10 for Ubuntu/Linux machine.

    It would be beneficial if TI CCS team can provide the reason on why CCS 5.4.0 on Linux doesn't behave the same as the one for Windows on the ability to upgrade the ARM Compiler tools to the 5.0.10 version.

    Thanks.

    It is possible that there was either a bug in CCS 5.4 or something specific in your setup that caused the list of update sites to not appear correctly on Linux (especially since it works with a newer version). This is an area in which we have made several fixes and improvements over time. I am glad to hear that CCS 5.5 worked out well, and I would even recommend moving to CCSv6 whenever feasible.

    Yes, I think certainly there is a bug on CCS5.4 for Linux as compared to CCS5.4 for Windows.

    One other thing to point out for others who is looking for specific TI ARM compiler.

    Select "Help - Install New Software"

    Select from drop down list on Work with: Code Generation Tools Updates - http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2linux

    NOTE: make sure you unchecked the box for "Show only the latest versions of available software" to list all. By default it is only listed the latest version.

    Select from drop down list on TI Compiler Updates, eg. ARM Compiler Tools - version 5.0.7

    Select Next. Select Next again. Accept the terms of the license agreement. Select Finish.

    You will be asked to restart CCS where the ARM compiler will be installed.
