Tool/software:
Hello,
I have sucessfully installed wine on my ubuntu machine. On this I have also installed the SmartRF Studio 7.
When I run the setup from the installation kit, it activates properly once I click the "finish" button in the windoes installer.
However, I have not been able to run the application from the linux bash prompt. A workaround is:
run wineconsole
in wineconsole cd to the location of the software
At the "dos" prompt simply run startup_window.exe.
This brings up the rf studio, and all seems to work properly except that the evaluation board (XDS110) is not found.
Thus it is only possible to "simulate" hardware and get command parameters, which is useful.
The XDS110 presents itself as two "tty serial ports" on Linux, ttyACM0 and ttyACM1. These are used by the CCS package to run the board.
Unfortunately these are not recognized when running wine, even if they are properly mapped in .wine/dosdevices, so there is a "shim" missing.
Any ideas of how to get this to work, else we need to buy new windows computers just for this single app that is indeed useful for testing and investigation.
So, partial SUCCESS!!
Regards,
Gullik
