CCS: Stuck on download with new resource explorer

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi everyone,

I've used resource explorer before but when I tried again today it said I need to update.

Lots of time and failure after, I had to reinstall. Give more time and failure and now trying to download a package from it, namely tm4c rtos, it gets stuck the download and that's it.
When I canceled it CCS detected it and tried to install it but it's incomplete i'm guessing... tried twice now.

Any suggestions ?

    What kind of update was this, was it a CCS update?

    I just tried downloading the TI-RTOS for TivaC from Resource Explorer and had no problems.
    Could you try deleting the tirex-localserver-3.1.3 folder (if using CCS 7.2.0) found in C:\Users\<Userid>\ti, then restart CCS and try downloading the package again? If the folder was already created in c:\ti from the previous attempt, delete the folder before attempting the download again.

  • Hi AartiG,

    Thanks for the attention.

    It was an update through CCS, in check for updates. Errors we're mostly MSP432 related.

    I can't really find that file. there's tirex-content and tirex-product-tree. I have ccs 7.2.0 right now


    I tried downloading from TI website TIRTOS, which is actually newer than the version in resource explorer, but I don't have that fancy editor for the rtos config file...

    edit:
    nevermind I read the path wrong. let's see how it goes.

  • Tried that and now it got stuck in 59.6%.

    But the file does keep getting bigger though
  • Sorry to hear that deleting the tirex-localserver folder did not help. I'm not sure what else could be impacting this, but it sounds like you have been able to move past this issue at least for now by downloading the package from TI website.

    This is actually an intended design change in CCS 7.1. The text editor is now the default editor for .cfg files.You can still open the .cfg file in the graphical editor by right clicking on the file in the Project Explorer and selecting Open with -> XGCONF. This is documented in this link.

  • Thanks for the tip on the RTOS config editor.


    About the resource explorer, I left it running until the folder stopped getting bigger. The RTOS folder of the version in resource explorer that is. Restarted CCS and well it installed it. Weird.
    So it's just the interface that seemed to freeze, I could use CCS as I pleased, just the resource explorer tab was stuck.

    Maybe it has something to do with my insanely slow HDD? Well it's solved for now. Thanks for your help
