CCS: CCS v8 installation fails -- Java

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I have downloaded both the CCS8.1.0.00011 and CCS8.2.0.00007 installers -- the web version AND the offline ones. I am running Ubuntu 16.04:

aero@drone3:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS"
aero@drone3:~$ uname -a
Linux drone3 4.4.76-aero-1.2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 21 09:55:38 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It looks like both CCS packages for installation come with or download the following file: jre-8u112-linux-x64.zip

The problem is that when the installer attempts to extract this file using p7zip, (7za) there is an error at the end, which apparently the installer checks for and decides to abort (v8.2) with an error mentioning something about "logger:loglist" or keeps re-trying again and again (v8.1). I even tried to use a later version of 7za downloaded from the official website to see if the problem was the outdated extractor (circa 2010), but the same error occurred, which leads me to the conclusion that the archive is corrupt, perhaps.

So, with this issue, I'm at a loss as to how to install CCS v8 successfully currently and do not have a workaround available to install it on the affected system. I have attached a copy of the log of how the 8.1 installer shows the error message after extraction.

Please provide a workaround or solution :)

  • So after a bit more digging, and re-creating an archive with the exact same JRE files, the issue persisted. It turns out that for whatever reason the extraction error is encountered when writing to a mounted vfat partition on a microSD card. Attempting to install to a different linux-native (ext4) partition resolved the issue.

    My workaround will be to copy the installation to the microSD card after the fact and then use a symbolic link to match the original installation path.

    This thread can be closed.
  • Glad to hear you resolved the issue and thank you for sharing your findings!

  • Thanks for posting. I have run into the same problem with CCS 8.2 and 7zip failing to unzip the downloaded Zip file. I am still unable to install it.

    These are the last log entries in the install log:

  • Hi,

    It looks like you may be having problems downloading files. Could you please try the offline installer?

    Thanks,
