Arch Linux User Repository

I was having issues with CCS 12.8.1. I tried installing CCS directly using TI installer, all I had to do was overwrite the DMED/ti_cgt_dmed_1.1.6_linux_installer_x86.bin file in the ccs_[tab] folder located in the /tmp/ with:

#!/bin/sh
exit 0

as EternalAndrew advised.

After I overwrote that while the installer was stuck on the install error, I selecterd retry. The installation proceeded as expected, and then I had to run:

execstack -c on wherever libMiniDump.so was located. For me, that was /home/$USER/ti/ccs1281/ccs/ccs_base/common/bin/libMiniDump.so

So it's a strong possibility that there is no need to do anything else besides start the install, get the DMED error, overwrite the bin file, finish install, and run execstack -c on libMiniDump.so

I needed 12.6.0 and forced it to install quite violently. I've flashed and debugged an MSP432 after the install. The steps that I believe were absolutely required are as follows:

• In PKGBUILD remove --mode unattended from the ....run and comment out the line containing dmed
• Run makepkg
• Follow steps in the installer
• When the DMED failure shows up (at like 98%) overwrite /tmp/ccs_[tab]DMED/ti_cgt_dmed_1.1.6_linux_installer_x86.bin with:

#!/bin/sh
exit 0

• Click Retry
• Once installed, run execstack -c /opt/ccstudio/ccs/ccs_base/common/bin/libMiniDump.so

I personally also had to or extraneously did the following:

• Move the desktop file manually
• Comment out the two lines containing 99-ti-jlink.rules
• Place git repository deeper in file system to avoid the over 40 character path

Same problem (CS_ERROR: Unable to install executable) here.

Lines immediately prior to error message of previous comment in ccs_install_12.8.0.00012.log are:

Do you want to retry? Abort An issue was encountered while installing CCS. Would you like to submit the installation logs to help us diagnose and fix the issue?

This stopped working after an update. /opt/ccstudio/ccs/eclipse/../ccs_base/common/bin/libMiniDump.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument I cannot reinstall it either.

Running execstack -c /opt/ccstudio/ccs/eclipse/../ccs_base/common/bin/libMiniDump.so makes the old install work again.

ccs has a 20.0.0 rewritten in theia. Can we have it on AUR?

Is the gconf depedency still necessary? A comment from 2020 says that it's not, and after using pacman -Rdd gconf to forcibly remove it from my system ccstudio still launches and doesn't seem to have any issues. This comment on the gconf package implies it's probably just a leftover dependency from chromium, and chromium removed the dependency back in 2010. The chromium version used in ccstudio on my machine, from ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform*/configuration/.jxbrowser.bin/7.29/chromium.version, is 108.0.5359.125, from 2022. Unless another part of ccstudio relies on the dependency, it seems to me that it should be removed.

Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found with msp430f5529. Any ideas?

It seems that after adding normal user to ccstudio group, the X server will be not working. It can be reproduced stably. Removing the user from ccstudio group with a system reboot can fix it. Here are the logs:

I got it installed by unzipping the package it creates then running ccs_setup_12.2.0.0009.run

The problem is when you try to run ccstudio it bombs out with unable to load SLF4J.

this is the dump $# /home/user/ti/ccs1220/ccs/eclipse/ccstudio

It appears to need a dependency called libswt.
