How to install CCS 4.0 in linux?

Hi everyone,

I am new to Linux and I downloaded the "****.tar.gz" CCS 4.0 file from the TI website. I extracted it and I got two folders namely "extras","install images" and a bin file "setup_CCS_4.1.0.02006.bin".

I am only used to installing using installer in windows and also in Linux (ubuntu). I am not able to figure out how to proceed with the installation. I tried in vain to get a help file in TI website about installation steps of CCS in linux.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks for your time.

 

Krish.

 

 

  • The setup_CCS_4.1.0.02006.bin is an executable file.  You need to be logged in as root to run it.

  • Hi Krish,

    Go to the directory where the bin file has been extracted and execute the command

    ./CCS_xxx.bin

    If it gives an error, you may also need to change the executable permissions using chmod

  • Hi everyone,

    It worked!!!..Actually all of your comments taken together worked :-)...(change the privelages, log in as root, ./CCSxxx.bin).

    Thanks a lot for quick and helpful suggestions!!!!

    I installed the CCS but now I dont know where the executable file is?

    I mean it installed the CCS in the folder /usr/local/CCSv4

    inside that there are four folders namely ccsv4,bios_xxxxx,xdais_xxxx,xdctools_xxxx.

    Inside the ccsv4 there are different folders such as "common       doc  eclipse    graphics   simulation  uninstall_CCSv4    utils

    DebugServer  dvt  emulation  scripting  tools       uninstall_idecore"

    I am not finding any executable file or any "CCS icon" even in the sub directories.

    the installation did not give any errors. It was smooth.

    Can anyone guide me where and how to start the CCS?

    Thank you.

    PS. I have got a drop down menu under applications (ubuntu) called DSP BIOS 6.21.00.13 and when I click it it gives an error
    "Could not launch 'DSP BIOS 6.21.00.13"
    "Failed to execute child process "/usr/local/CCSv4/bios_6_21_00_13/bios_6_21_00_13_linux.bin" (No such file or directory)"
    I dont know whether it has got anything to do with I not able to find CCS start program. Just for ur info.
    Bye.
  • Hi everyone,

    I figured that out. the file was inside the folder "eclipse" and the file name is eclipse. When I clicked it the code composer started to open but stuck in "license" section and asked mewhat I would like to choose 30 day eval? free limited license? etc etc. 

    When I tried to select anyone of them it is giving a error window "error opening embedded window"

    Is it an issue with the linux distribution I am having or with code composer?

    Thanks for ur time.

  • Hi Krish, 

    link below contains a linux specific file that you can drop into CCS(instructions are at the link below as well). You shouldn't be getting prompts after this for license.
