Install CCS6 to the Debian 8 Linux

Hello Min,

I installed the latest Debian 64-bit 8.5.0 release and downloaded the latest CCS 6.1.3.00034

I generally followed the installation instructions which includes a list of dependencies here:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Host_Support_CCSv6#Debian_64-bit

Here is an abridged (I left out some of the superfluous terminal output) copy of my terminal log during the install:

I did initially get an error message regarding libstdc++6 so I went ahead an installed it with:

aptitude install libstdc++6:i386 as root and the restarted the installation and this warning went away.

There are a few questions about processor support:

As well as a warning about unsupported boards when using Debian:

Then the installation starts. Go get some coffee:

This is what you should see if it completes successfully:

Don't forget to install the drivers:

After the installation is complete, simply run:

Here is the CCS6 start screen running on Debian:

Another possible solution is to run Ubuntu in a VM such as VirtualBox if you are still having issues with Debian.

Hope this helps!

Good point Danish. I could have stated that more explicitly in my response.

The 32-bit support repos are added to the package manager with the 'dpkg --add-architecture i386' command I mentioned.

The actually libraries themselves are all the *:i386 packages referenced.

As mentioned in: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Host_Support_CCSv6#Debian_64-bit not all of these packages may be absolutely required but it certainly won't hurt to have them.

Thanks a lot !! 

I just installed the CCSV6 on my Debian Jessie follow your great instruction !.

I'd like to mention couple of miner things... 

when I add to the 'sources.list' file, I have to use 'wheezy' repositories even my machine is 'jessie',  as your instruction.

when I install the 'ccs_setup_6.xxx.bin', I have to use default directory, '/opt/ti/ccsv6'. ( It shows error message during the install when I change the directory )

when I run as background with './ccstudio &' command after install, it doesn't start. I have to do './ccstudio' as foreground. 

Thanks

Best Regards,

Min Gwak
