CCS/EK-TM4C1294XL: CCS Installation hang-up with MSVC 2015

Shaymus Alwan said:

Unable to download ti_cgt_tms470_15.12.1.LTS_windows_installer.exe. Trying again.

Per the output, it seems that the installer is having trouble downloading the ARM compiler tools. 

Which exact version of CCS are you installing? And is it an offline installer?

Could you please zip up the /install_logs directory and attach the zip file here so we can have a look at the logs? 

Hello,

Appreciate the quick response.

We've zipped the logs and attached. Also attached a screenshot of our attempts to manually install the MSVC version, as the logs seemed to suggest.

Additionally, just to provide more context, we are attempting to set up a CCS dev environment for integration with our TIVA development board. The CCS that we are able to run from this installer appears to be incomplete in its configuration, and when we try to build some SW to test, this is the build error we are receiving:

**** Build Finished ****

Buildfile generation error occurred..

This project was created for a device not currently supported: Cortex M.TM4C1230C3PM.

       1. Go to 'Help > Check for Updates' page to check for updates and visit CCS App Center to get the latest device support.

       2. Check if you have installed support for the corresponding MCU/processor platform.

       3. Migrate the project to closest matching supported device by adjusting project properties.

       4. Contact TI for support if using experimental silicon.

Build stopped..

Thank you,

Shaymus

For this issue, my suspicion is that you are missing device support for Tiva C Series devices. Did you select that product family when running the CCS installer?

If you did not select it the first time, you can still re-run the CCS installer, point it to your current installation directory and select additional product families for which you want to add support. To be safe, I would suggest selecting everything inside 32-bit ARM MCUs. 

For the MSVC install issues, you could try uninstalling the version installed on your machine, then download and install the appropriate version (32 or 64 bit) from Microsoft's web site (reference documentation in this page: http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/ccs_troubleshooting.html#missing-msvc-redistributable-libraries)

Let us know if you still have trouble after removing and reinstalling MSVC.

Hi Aarti,

Thank you for all of your help. Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until after the holidays to try your suggestions due to folks being out on vacation. Will update then.

Thanks again for your assistance
