TI-RSLK I am having difficulties with TExaSdisplay.exe in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using Wine not being able to connect to usb launchpad hardware through com port

Peter Koeppen

When launching TExaSdisplay.exe in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using Wine it brings up the TExaSdisplay software just fine except when I try to find com port to connect to launch pad (plugged into usb port) it is looking for COM33 or COM34 where COM33 --> /dev/ttyACM0 and COM34 --> /dev/ttyACM1, where it should be finding a /dev/ttyUSB0 at COM33 or COM34. Using wine regedit I have not been able to force COM33 or COM34 to be set to /dev/ttyUSB0.

Perhaps you can recommend using another proc other than wine to execute TExaSdisplay.exe in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, or another way to force COM33 or COM34 to recognize the launchpad hardware.

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately, this program isn't supported in Linux including workarounds such as WINE. This seems to be more of a WINE configuration issue. I would recommend reaching out to the Wine support forums and see if anyone has a suggestion on how to change the mappings. TExas Display allows you to pick any COM port from what I can see. So you likely don't need to map the serial port to COM33 or COM34. If you manage to get it mapped to any COM port then you should be ok.

I will try configuring COM1 to USB0. Can you recommend another program other than wine to execute TExaSdisplay.exe in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?

Sorry I can not. I generally stay away from software such as Wine especially when the software being ran is interfacing with hardware. I would recommend using a native Windows PC or use a virtual machine to run Windows.

I have tried running TExaSdisplay.exe in win10 while i have ccsv8 running in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as a VM in Vm ware workstation compiling/debug and running TEexaSmain.c., but still have not been able to get a waveform in TExaSdisplay. I did notice an error in the debug window of ccsv8,

I am attaching transcript for this error.

I cleared the error in my previous reply to you by resetting the launchpad and doing build/debug/run. After this, running the TExaSdisplay.exe in win10 now gives me the desired waveforms for scope and logic analyzer. Thank you, this ticket can now be closed.
