CCS/CCSTUDIO: Code Generation Tools not showing up after apparently successful install

Alex Gutowski

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have CCS9.3, and am attempting to install some older versions of CGT (specifically 7.4.24... our project is old and we really don't want to have to make any changes to our toolset), and it doesn't seem to be working although no errors are reported, and CCS seems to be telling me that install has completed successfully.

I am attempting to install these tools by going to Help->Install Code Generation Tools..., selecting C6000 v7.4.24 in the list, then clicking through the menus to complete the install process. Eventually, I see the pop-up claiming that install completed successfully, asking me if I want to restart to apply changes, which I accept. Then after restarting CCS, I open Window->Preferences, go to Code Conmposer Studio->Build->Compilers in the tree, and... nothing... the compiler doesn't show up, indicating to me that it did not in fact, install correctly. So, I traverse the base directory where CCS is installed, and lo and behold: I only see ti-cgt-c6000_8.3.5/ under tools/compiler/

What's going on here, and why can't I seem to install this (or any other) tool?

    See CCS: CCS 9.2.0.00013 fails to run installer for TI ARM Compiler Tools 18.1.x for an explanation and a work-around for how to manually run the compiler installer.

    While a patch for CCS 9.3 has been released to fix the problem, as per CCS: Is the Update Installer for CCSv9.3 1.0.0 patch able to correct installations in which other updates had not been installed correctly? the patch doesn't correct existing installations.

    Thanks, that's helpful, but where can I find that patch?

    Hi,

    If you go to menu Help → Check for Updates, you will see it on the list:

    I could not find that listed in the updates, (maybe because I already tried installing all updates immediately after a fresh install?) so I uninstalled/reinstalled ccstudio, saw the update in the list, deselected all the rest, and installed that patch.

    The patch may have installed fine, but after I installed the patch, I restarted ccstudio, selected the rest of the updates, installed those, and restarted the application again... or attempted to at least. The splash screen showed up, but that disappears shortly after, and the terminal drops back to the prompt. I tried running it as a regular user, and the same thing happens again. There is no information printed to the cli that could help me diagnose the issue.

    I think *this* issue might be closable, although I can't really be certain since I can no longer open the application at all. I might attempt to trace the issue further by installing the rest of the updates in sequence until I find one that causes the startup failure.

    I am increasingly frustrated with this application, and every single time I've used it in the past I had numerous issues.

    (note: unless otherwise noted, everytime I was running ccstudio, I ran it with "sudo ccstudio")

    Hi,

    The inability to detect the compiler is quite strange indeed, but unfortunately I won't be able to thoroughly test it (we are working from home and I can't access my linux box). You could potentially try the CCS App Center (menu View --> CCS App Center --> Code Composer Studio Add-ons --> More Updates) or download the installer separately and see if it detects properly. 

    http://www.ti.com/tool/download/C6000-CGT-7-4

    Regarding the corrupt setup after the update, the directory ccs930/ccs/install_logs should have a number of files with date stamps. Can you check the files with the corresponding datestamps and see if there is any logged error? 

    Optionally you can zip it and attach to this thread. 

    The use of sudo when running ccstudio is mandatory if you installed CCS as superuser AND is updating it. 

    Regards,
