Hello Laszlo,

TIREX does not work so sample programs have to downloaded manually. It is unconfortable, but ok.

Assuming you installed all the required dependencies, please see the following FAQs:

The bigger problem I have tested backchannel UART, neither in CCS Serial terminal nor minicom are any echo, however I have tested with DVM there is signal both on TxD and on RxD.. The communication parameter are set correctly, finally I come up with that there is no backchannel uart in lsusb; however there are hardware signals working. It seems complete mess around the driver.

For this issue I defer to the MSP experts.

Thanks

Some additional info, when I installed during the process, I have got messages dependenciy problems, I step back it seemed I resolved and I step forward. 

Althogh the installation process was smooth seem Ubuntu usb 32 bit libraries does set correctly. I tried to get detected my board in TIREX I have got message: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/opt/ti/ccs1011/ccs/ccs_base/cloudagent/db' 

I run testprog of cloudagent and fixed a dependency issue of libudev0:386, but something still goes wrong.

Hope this helps to identify the problem. Thank you for your help!

Hi Johnson,

please, advice me, which version and how to use. I have been happy to see and downloaded 64-bit linux version, but nothing changed, except during installation I have got no product in the list. Finally, I take a look in the fetdrivers lib and I have found a WIN manifest. I thought eclipse has asked for 32 bit usb lib, maybe it is better to download 32-bit version. Unfortunatelly, nothing changed.

Actually, I have sinusitis, so I can not spend much time at my computer. If you had have less time this week, it is fine to come back next week.

Thank you, for your fast answer.

Best Regards,

Laszlo
