CCS/CCSTUDIO: Version: 8.0.0.00016 on MACOS update repositories not found

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SEGGER

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Folks -

I have been trying to install updates (CCS - Updates available pop-up) on my MACOS 10.13.4 for the last couple of days but I get the following error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.cpp, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

No repository found containing: org.eclipse.update.feature,com.ti.ccstudio.update.patch,1.0.0

Im also trying to install J-Link with the same type of error ...

It's probably obvious that Eclipse is NOT my forte... 

Any ideas what I'm missing? Is it a MACOS issue? CCS?

Thanks for the help.

  • Jim,

    I see those messages from time to time in CCS.  They are not specific to macOS.  I am running macOS right now and not seeing them but I have seen them before on my Mac (as well as on my Windows and Linux machines).

    I just did an update check on a fresh CCSv8 install and it found:

    I selected those and was able to install.

    However I have seen those same messages as you in the past.  Basically something is going wrong with the Eclipse update manager being able to reach the update sites.  I get this periodically and typically it goes away.  However if you are seeing this consistently, which it sounds like you are it could be security software or settings blocking the accesses.  I run into that more with Windows users where their security software will see CCS start making web accesses and either block them or start inspecting them, both of which can stop the update manager from working.  If you have some security software installed you could try whitelisting Ccstudio and eclipse.

    Another thing that can help is to go back to the preferences dialog where you found the list of update sites.  It is under Install/Update -> Available update sites.  Select the update sites that were giving the error and then click the refresh button on the right.

    Regards,

    John

  • John -
    Thanks for the reply.

    Getting closer to resolving the issues. After reloading the sites i was able to:
    (1) install SEGGER J-Link
    (2) update CC13xx/CC26xx

    One remaining issue for CCS v8 update site:

    **** An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
    **** session context was:(profile=epp.package.cpp, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
    **** No repository found containing: org.eclipse.update.feature,com.ti.ccstudio.update.patch,1.0.0

    I have restarted CCS several times as well as rebooting the hardware ... No luck...

  • Jim,

    Well that is some progress. We just flushed the server cache. Can you try doing a reload again on the CCS update site to see if it is cleared up.

    If not we can try something else. Basically that last update was actually just changing the address of an update site. We created a new one for v8 but the image was still pointing to the old one. The update fixes that. However we can just change that manually. To do that you would go to the update site list. Disable the old one and add an update site with this address: software-dl.ti.com/.../Updates

  • John -

    Thanks for following up.

    Well THAT was interesting!

    By mistake, I left the both the version 7 AND the new version 8 directory enabled and did an update. Progress bar went to 11% before i got the same error message about repository not found.

    Restarted CCS, disabling version 7, and did a check-for-updates. Response was "No updates were found in available software sites."

    Did not see any indication that an update was performed...

    When I turn version 7 repository back on, I'm back to the same update available and same error when i try to update.

    So do i leave the Version 8 repository and disable version 7? Is there a way to check that the version 8 is pointing to a "valid" repository?

    cheers,

  • Jim,

    This is nothing new on the v8 site at the moment.  The only applicable update on the v7 site left was the one that fixed the update site.  Really the next update there would be 8.1.

    I cut and paste the update site from my v8 install where I had installed the update that fixed the site so it should be good.  If it were wrong I would expect it to give you an error.  Clicking the reload button should also give an error if the site is entered incorrectly as it would not be able to read the content.xml file at that location.  For example I get this if I enter in a bogus site and hit the reload button:

    Well then, I'm gonna assume everything good! That fixes my problem.

    Thanks for the help.
