CCS/CCSTUDIO: CCS asked to update components, then error window popped up, failing installation

Part Number: CCSTUDIO


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I just downloaded the latest ccs, and it asked to upgrade some components after a while and I said yes. It worked for a while, and an error window popped up saying:

An error occurred : Installation of the following componenents failed:

com.ti.gcc.msp430.linux

Binaries can be found in /home/ccs/ti/ccs901/ccs/installers to complete installation. Some features of ccs may not be functional due to this failure. Please submit install logs ...

I did submit the report, and my reference number is 233166

  • Hello,

    It sounds like you started with CCS 9.0.1 and recently told it to install all available updates, is that correct? Do you happen to know which updates it listed and which ones you selected?

    It looks like it failed to install the MSP430 GCC compiler update but I'm not sure why. Usually smaller updates like compiler and device support updates work well but a full CCS update occasionally has problems. If you told it to install a whole bunch of updates (including a CCS service release update), perhaps there was some conflict or glitch.

    If you do not work with MSP430, you should be ok ignoring the error. However, if you do work with MSP430 and would like to get the updated version of the GCC compiler, then you could check if the directory mentioned in the error message contains a binary that you could run to complete the installation. If that does not go well, I would recommend downloading and installing CCS 9.1.0 directly which should already have most of the newer components.

    Sorry about the inconvenience.

  • Since I haven’t heard back from you, I’m assuming you were able to move past this issue. If not, please feel free to post a reply with your current status and specific problems that remain. Thanks!

  • Hello,

    Sorry for the delayed response. The issue went away by itself. Although I am sure I installed CCS9.0.1.00004_linux-x64.tar.gz and the ccs install dir is

    /home/ccs/ti/ccs901, now when I go to about window in ccs, it shows Version: 9.1.0.00010 - check for updates also returns no updates. So I think it has updated successfully.

    I work primarily with TivaC devices, but I also need the msp430 working. How can I test that the msp430 compiler/tools are working?

    Best regards,

    C.A.

    If you did not select the MSP430 device support during initial installation then you will not be able to create and build projects for MSP430. To confirm if support is installed, try creating a new project (menu Project->New CCS Project), type in MSP430 in the Target field and see if the list of MSP devices show up. If they do not, then you would need to re-run the CCS installer, point it to your current installation directory. Go through the installer wizard and select the MSP430 device family and that will add support for it into your current installation.
