XDS Emulator Uninstall

Alex said:

My installation for code composer studio failed. I am going to try it again later, but right now the XDS USB emulator is causing me problems.

Is there a way to scrub it off my system so that my system does not ask for XDS emulator hardware drivers on startup?

 

Thank you,

Alex

Alex,

Which version of CCS?  If it is CCS 4 there is some information here that might help.  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCS#General_IDE

I am going to move this thread to the Code Composer Studio forum so the experts there may comment.

Hi Alex,

I'm pretty sure you are running into this issue:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/62592/228366.aspx#228366

It's not USB but XDS560 related.

There is a workaround that is documented in the thread.

Thanks

Hello all,

Thanks for the quick replies. It looks like this installation problem is going to be a bit harder than intended. Here is the pertinent info:

CCS Version to install: CCS4.1.3

System: Windows XP 32 bit, SP3 (Build 2600), TOSHIBA laptop.

Issue:

- I tried to install CCS4.1.3 earlier. I had 512 MB of RAM. The CCS installation failed and told me that I needed >= 1GB of RAM.

- I then uninstalled the CCS installation, and manually deleted the folders

- It seems that the XDS560 drivers did not uninstall. I continually get asked for their device drivers by Windows on startup

- I tried to reinstall CCS4.1.3, but the computer hangs on the automatic code generation tools portion. It stops installing, becomes irresponsive, and I have to cycle the power to get it to work!

- There appears to be no "InstallJammer" folder

Ideas:

- Is there a way to sweep the computer of all CCS related material? I could then try re-installing.

- How do you install CCS in safe mode?

- Is it possible that I have stuff left over in my registry/file system from the previous failed install that is causing problems?

Thanks for your help,

Alex

Alex,

I think you have answered your own question.

You state your lap top has 512meg and the program is telling you it needs 1Gig of RAM.

Perhaps doubling the amount of RAM in your laptop or installing on a different computer that does contain 1gig of RAM

I forgot to mention that I went an got 2GB of RAM and installed it prior to the second attempt. The RAM is no longer an issue.

Perhaps I should try installing in "safe mode"? Is this a TI thing, or is it for my OS? Is there a tutorial for this?
