So I just installed code composer 9 on my linux system and I'm having a very annoying issue. I can't seem to figure out how to launch the application.

I didn't have it create a desktop icon, as I'm not a fan of them. I couldnt figure a command line call to launch it. tried ccs, codecomposer, ccstudio, etc. Did some searching and found the executable in /ti/ccs930/eclipse which was ccstudio. I can launch that with ./ccstudio. However, it doesn't allow me to pin it to the favorites bar and I have to be in that directory to launch it.

How do I generate a command line executable that I can launch from anywhere, that will allow me to pin it to the favorites.

Should I simply create an alias in bashrc or is there something else I should do ?

Try the below steps to create a desktop file for CCS (make syre and then add it to your favorites bar

Make sure you point to the 'ccstudio' executable instead of the default 'eclipse' executable.

Thanks

Hey Ki,

Thanks for the direction. I now have a desktop Icon, but I still can't launch CCS from terminal and it won't allow me to pin it to favorites.

Did you try steps #6 & #7 to add it to the launcher? That worked for me.

To run from the terminal, you can run the ccstudio executable from the terminal like you mentioned before. One thing to make it easier is to create a *.sh script that call it and you can place that script anywhere you wish (and perhaps add it to the system path so that you can call it from anywhere)
