Talk:Linux Host Support CCSv5

Questions on roadmap
It seems that you've made a lot of progress so far during 2010. Is support for the MSP430 architectures on the roadmap somewhere? (How far out?) Porting CCS for GNU/Linux is a good thing -- it'll allow you to tap into a well of clever hackers that now will begin to consider developing for TI chips, both at home and at work. Keep it up! :-) --Aevin 20:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Aevin, thanks for your comments. MSP430 support on Linux is not something we have on the roadmap yet. You are not the only one asking for this though, so it is being looked at but there is no specific plan as to when it might be available.--AndyW

I am also looking for TI MSP430 support on linux, I have a Windows XP laptop but have been having problems connecting to the FET, I have a linux desktop that I would perfer to use once the support is available.

Just a note for those of us that are linux challenged; when running the installer, use sudo .\ccs_setup_5.1.0.xxxxx.bin instead of sudo ccs_setup_5.1.0.xxxxx.bin as stated above under Installation Instructions.

It would be helpful to have instructions for how to uninstall. I am not able to uninstall from ubuntu 10.04 32bit host using the provided uninstall launcher.

In lieu of uninstaller from Ubuntu application menu not working try this: cd to /opt/ti/ccsv5/ccsv5 and look for and execute uninstall_CCSv5

FYI, the dependency list appears to be missing libXtst. After installing the 32 bit versions of all of the listed dependencies plus libXtst, I was able to run CCS under CentOS 6.3 64 bit. I successfully built one of the msp430 examples from the SimpliciTI code, but I have yet to try the debugger.

The installation procedure requires exec permissions on the /tmp filesystem. If exec permissions aren't available a vague "can't find procedure Tcl_Init" message is returned.
