CCS/CCSTUDIO: Processor SDK RTOS Examples not provided

Lo2,

The examples would appear under Resource Explorer Classic. The Processor SDK examples have not been integrated into the newer Resource Explorer but they would appear in the "Classic" version that scans through software packages to find examples.

What Linux distribution are you running?

You may be able to work around this issue by switching the browser that CCS is using for Resource Explorer. If you go to the Window menu and select Preferences. Then select Code Composer Studio on the left. On the right will be some options for the browser. Try the middle one and restart CCS.

IF the error still happens can you click on the details button to show more information.

Regards,
John

Hi John,

I selected the JavaFX Browser as you described and restarted CCSv7. Now it crashes because I probably have a navigator tab open:

System is a 64 bit Ubuntu, Kernel 4.10, arch x86_64:

Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 17.04
Release:    17.04
Codename:    zesty

Is there a way to close the Navigator tab before starting CCS?

Best regards,

Hi John,

deleting .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi resets the workspace.

Still I have no functional browser.
Is there a different way to get to the examples?

Best regards,
Lo2

Hi John,

these are my options. Chromium doesn't seem to work, JavaFX crashes CCSv7 and internal browser does nothing.

Best regards,

Lo2

Lo2,

Another way to get to the examples is via Project -> Import CCS Projects

Resource Explorer Classic is just scanning through the installed software packages looking for projects. You can do something similar with the Import tool. Just point it to the folder where the software package is located and it will search for example projects.

In parallel we can try to figure out what is going on with the browser.

John

Can you check what your glibc version is?

Hi John,

the default glibc6:

Package: libc6
Architecture: amd64
Version: 2.24-9ubuntu2.2
Multi-Arch: same

Hi John,

I think I have to reinstall CCS 7 again, my menu does not show an entry to Import CCS Projects.

Best regards,
Lo2

glibc 2.24 should be fine. There is an issue with 2.26.

As far as the menu missing, make sure you are in the CCS Edit perspective. If you are in the CCS Debug perspective then Project Menu is a lot smaller and does not have the import item.

John

Hi John,

On the Linux CCSv7 I'm in the C/C++ perspective. I'll just reinstall.

I just tried to get the examples on CCS v7 on Windows, CCS 7 installed a few minutes ago.
The example is now there, but it does not build:

I did a check for updates and update everything, so it should be up to date.
There was a CCSv6 install before, is that a problem?

Hi John,

I searched for xdc and xdctools on processors.wiki.ti.com and ti.com but there is no definitive page for the xdctools.
- What is the latest version of xdctools?

Lo2,

Try switching the project to use the 3.32 version of XDCTools.  3.32 and 3.50 are not compatible.  I suspect that the examples were done assuming 3.32.  CCS ships with both and if the project is specifying the version correctly it should select the right one.  If it is specifying an even older version then CCS may go ahead and use 3.50.

If you right click on the project.  Select properties.  Then select General in the tree on the left.  Click on products on the right.  Then change the XDCTools version to 3.32.

Regards,

John

Hi John,

on Windows CCSv7 installs xdctools 3.5, the processor sdk contains sysbios (built with xdctools 3.3) and xdctools 3.3.
If I generate a new project, that will use xdctools 3.5 and use the sysbios from the pdk.
I could either rebuild sysbios with xdctools 3.5 or downgrade xdctools to 3.3.

What do you recommend?

Best regards,
Lo2

Hi John,

works fine, thanks.

Best regards,
Lo
