View uses View Composer to create and deploy linked-clone desktops in vCenter Server. Configuring Your Infrastructure for View Composer You can take advantage of features in vSphere, vCenter Server, Active Directory, and other components of your infrastructure to optimize the performance, availability, and reliability of View Composer.
8.1.1. Can I install multiple versions of CCS on my computer?¶
Yes. Multiple versions of CCS can be installed on the same machine aslong as they are installed in different directories.
8.1.2. What is the difference between the web installer and the offline installer?¶
The web installer is a lightweight installation program. The initialdownload is very small and enables the selection of features and devicesupport to install. Once the selections are made the installer will thendownload the appropriate packages to complete the desired selection.
The offline installer, or full installer, is a larger installationprogram. The download contains all of the available installationoptions. This installer does not require internet connectivity to run.This installer is recommended if your firewall or anti-virus software isblocking the web installer.
8.1.3. My username has Unicode characters and CCS fails to install. How do I resolve this?¶
Due to a limitation in the Eclipse Application Framework used by CCS,the username cannot contain any Unicode characters. In order to installthe product, please create a temporary admin user without any Unicodecharacters and install CCS for all users.
8.1.4. Why does the Linux installer just exit without doing anything?¶
The installer requires some packages to be installed in order to run.You are likely missing one or more of these packages. Please refer toLinux Host Support for moreinformation on installing on Linux.
8.1.5. Why does the Windows installer just exit without doing anything?¶
There is some software that sets up the TCL_LIBRARY environment variablewhich is interfering with the CCS installer. Please unset this variabletemporarily, before trying the install.
8.1.6. After installing on Linux, why does CCS refuse to open?¶
Gopanel 1 9 2 – manage web servers 1 8. When double-clicking the desktop icon nothing happens, and if launchingfrom a command line, the following error is shown:
Kite Composer 2 0 12
This may happen when updating or installing a newer version of the samestream of CCS (8.0.0 to 8.1.0, for example). The cause is that, if CCSwas previously launched as root, the temporary directory in the userarea may have become tainted and its ownership was set to root. In otherwords, the temporary CCS directory would look similar to:
To fix this, use chown to change the ownership of all the directoriesand the .lock file back to the user
8.1.7. After installing CCS, I found out some features (such as certain processor families or debug probes) are missing. Is there a way to add these features?¶
Yes. Simply re-run the installer executable (either online or offline).Follow the installer screens and select the same directory as theoriginal install. Keep following the installer screens and select themissing components.
Certain features (such as code generation tools updates) can beinstalled from inside CCS (using menu Help → Install New Software),however this method cannot be used to add support for additionalprocesssor families and debug probes. You would need to re-run theinstaller to add this support. Check the CCSUpdatespage for more details.
8.1.8. When installing CCS it says “An error occured: can’t read”update“: no such variable”. How do I resolve this?¶
Make sure you are installing CCS to a clean directory where a previousinstallation does not exist.
8.1.9. When trying to install compiler tools, CCS says it is already installed but it is actually not. How do I fix it?¶
This could happen if a prior attempt at installing the compiler toolsdid not complete properly. In such cases, the menu Help → InstallationDetails → Installed Software will list that version of compiler toolsas installed, however the files will really not be in the file systemand the compiler version will not be in the list of Discovered Toolsunder menu Window → Preferences → Code Composer Studio → Build →Compilers.
To resolve the issue, look for the compiler installer executable in thefolder <ccs_install_dir>/ccsv[x]/eclipse/downloads. It will be namedsomething like ti_cgt_tms470_5.0.11_windows_installer.exe, for example.Run the installer manually as administrator and tell it to install intothe <ccs_install_dir>/ccsv[x]/tools/compiler/arm_<version> directory.
8.1.10. How can I perform a silent or unattended installation of CCS?¶
CCS can be installed from command line interface with several options, including unattended installtion. Please refer to the CCS Installer Usage article for more details.
8.2.1. What is the licensing policy for CCS?¶
There is no license fee associated with CCS. Users are free to downloadand install Code Composer Studio without having to purchase a license.
8.3.1. How do I get updates to CCS?¶
By default CCS automatically checks for updates each time it starts.This update check will find updates to features that are alreadyinstalled. For example, it will find updates to the CCS IDE, compilerbug fix release, and device support. It will not find new featuresincluding new feature revisions of the compiler. See the CCSUpdates page for more details.
8.3.2. How do I search for new features for CCS?¶
The CCS App Center which is accessible from the View menu is useful forfinding new features. The App Center will highlight a selection of newfeatures that are relevant to the device families that you haveinstalled.
There are a few other ways to find and install new compiler tools. Referto the procedures described in the CompilerUpdates article.
8.3.3. How do I get TI-RTOS Updates?¶
The main way to get TI-RTOS is via ResourceExplorer which will automaticallyshow you the latest version of TI-RTOS or the SDK that it is includedin.
8.3.4. When installing CCS updates I get a dialog box that warns me that the feature is unsigned. Is this a problem?¶
Most updates released by TI are signed, however not all of them are.Similarly an update or feature from a partner may not be digitallysigned. When this happens CCS produces a warning noting that the featurehas not been signed. In general these are safe to ignore but it is bestto always make sure you know where the update is coming from beforeinstalling it.
8.4.1. How do I override the TEMP and TMP environment variables that are used to determine where temporary files are placed during CCS build process?¶
During the CCS build process, gmake creates temporary batch files in thedirectory that corresponds to the user’s TEMP and TMP System EnvironmentVariables. The compiler also uses this directory for temporary filesduring compilation. CCS has the ability to let the user override theseenvironment variables within the scope of CCS, so you don’t have tomodify your global System variables.
In CCS, open the menu Window → Preferences → C/C++ → Build →Environment, and use the Add button to add the two variables:
Set the appropriate button to either “Append” or “Replace” variables tonative environment. On Windows, make sure to use backslashes (notforward slashes) in the paths. Also make sure the directory specifiedfor the variables exists before running the build.
8.4.2. Is it possible to convert a non-RTSC CCS project to a RTSC project, and vice-versa?¶
To convert a non-RTSC project to a RTSC project, simply add a RTSCconfiguration file (.cfg) to the project. CCS will ask if you want toenable RTSC support for the project and if you click Yes, willconvert it to a RTSC project.
It is not possible to convert a RTSC project to a non-RTSC project. Inthis case, you would need to start over by creating a new project.
8.4.3. During project build, a ccsLinker.opt file sometimes gets passed to the linker instead of the list of object files . What is this file and when is it used?¶
The ccsLinker.opt file is generated by CCS and passed to the linker ifthe list of linker options and input files on the linker command lineexceeds the maximum command line length of the host operating system. Aproject with a large number of object files (.obj) may pass the linkeroptions and input files to the linker via the ccsLinker.opt file ratherthan directly on the command line.
8.5.1. I get Data Verification errors when loading my program. What does it mean?¶
See this article on Data VerificationErrors
8.5.2. What is the difference between Run/Resume and Free Run?¶
Free Run disables breakpoints before executing code on the target.Essentially you are running free of the debugger. You will not seeupdates to any views or printfs when performing a Free Run.
8.5.3. How can I view non debuggable devices and routers in the Debug view?¶
The Debug view hides non-debuggable devices by default. If you wishto view these devices:
Right-click in the Debug view and select Show All Cores in thecontext menu. A node called Non Debuggable Devices will appear whichyou can then expand to see the devices.
You can also set this within a given debug configuration so every time adebug session is launched with that debug configuration (with or withoutassociated project), the settings will take effect. To do this, go toCCS menu Run → Debug Configurations, and enable Non DebuggableDevices and Routers for the desired debug configuration.
8.5.4. In multi-core devices, the CIO console prints out the CPU-core name after every output character. Is there a way to prevent this?¶
In CCS all the CIO output goes to a single console by default, so CCSinserts the CPU-core name in front so that you can tell which core it iscoming from. For assert() statements, the CPU-core name is addedwhenever a given CPU flushes its CIO buffer, making the output verydifficult to read.
There is an option to control this. Go to menu Run → DebugConfigurations, select your debug configuration and uncheck the optionUse the same console for the CIO of all CPUs.
8.5.5. My BeagleBone is Rev A5 and greater, but I still can’t connect to CCS . Why?¶
If you are getting this error when trying to connect to the board:
Or getting this when running the xds100serial utility:
Or the Windows control panel is showing two USB serial ports when youconnect the board to the PC, then you have a BeagleBone board with ablank (non-programmed) FTDI device.
The solution is to program the board with a known good configuration.One can be found at CircuitCo’s BeagleBonepage.
8.5.6. Can I debug two boards using two separate emulators at the same time?¶
Yes, this is possible. See this article for more details: Debuggingwith Multiple Debug Probes.
8.5.7. When debugging program in cache why do cache lines get invalidated?¶
For any kind of action that involves setting software breakpoints (thisalso includes single-stepping or running to an address) on C6x, thecorresponding cache line is invalidated. This is expected behavior sincesoftware breakpoints require the breakpoint opcode being written to theprogram memory at that address.
8.5.8. After connecting to target and loading the program why are the menus/icons for target execution (resume, suspend, step, etc) not available (greyed out)?¶
Make sure that the Debug view was not inadvertently closed duringthe debug session. If it was closed, you can bring it back by going tothe CCS menu View → Debug.
8.5.9. How do I resolve this error when launching a debug session “Could not fetch next record for SQL statement” and running fsclean does not help.¶
Kite Composer 2 0 11
Try deleting the target cache files as described in the Troubleshootingchapter
8.5.10. How do I resolve error “Cannot read System Setup data from XML file <file path/name>.ccxml. XML configuration file has no <configurations> root node”?¶
Try creating and using a new target configuration file.
8.5.11. Is it possible for the Graphs view and properties to carry over from one CCS session to another, so when CCS is restarted the graphs come up again?¶
CCS saves the arrangement and contents of graph views when a debugsession is terminated and restarted, but not when CCS itself is shutdown and restarted. The solution to help streamline the input ofgraphing properties is the Export and Import buttons at thebottom of the graph properties. You could export the graph properties toa file and then import it back when you restart CCS.
8.6.1. Are simulators no longer included with CCS?¶
Starting with CCSv6, simulators are no longer included. We are movingaway from providing simulators and instead focusing on providing lowcost development boards.
8.6.2. Are C54x devices supported in CCS?¶
The last release to support C54x is CCSv5.5.
8.6.3. Can I use DSP/BIOS with current releases of CCS?¶
Yes you can use DSP/BIOS with current releases of CCS and buildprojects. However, the Real-time analysis features are not supportedwith DSP/BIOS.
8.6.4. Which operating systems are supported by CCS?¶
Please see the article on SystemRequirements.
8.6.5. Is the XDS510LC emulator from Spectrum Digital supported with F2837xS/D and F2807x devices?¶
These devices have an Icepick router which is NOT supported by theXDS510LC. For these devices, please use one of the supported emulatorsas mentioned in this forumpost.
8.6.6. How do I modify the maximum Java heap size for Eclipse?¶
If you see an “out of memory” error in CCS, try changing the Eclipse heap setting. To do this, open ccstudio.ini in the /ccsv[x]/eclipse folder (/ccs/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse for MacOS) and adjust the “-Xmx” argument. Note that on Windows, CCS versions upto CCSv9 are 32-bit applications, hence there is a cap on how much this value can be increased for it to have effect. Also, having too high a value may cause other IDEstability problems depending on how much content is open in theworkspace and what features are being used. If you have 4+ GB of systemRAM, the “sweet spot” seems to be between 512m to 768m, and it worksbest for most users.
More information on Heap and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) memory settings can be found in the Troubleshooting section. Snagit 4 1 9 – screen capture utility mac.
3.1.1. Installation Types¶
3.1.1.1. Web Installer¶
The web installer was a lightweight installation program. The initialdownload is very small and enables the selection of features and devicesupport to install. Once the selections are made the installer will thendownload the appropriate packages to complete the desired selection.
Internet connectivity is required to use the web installer
3.1.1.2. Offline Installer¶
The offline installer, or full installer, is a larger installationprogram. The download contains all of the available installationoptions. This installer does not require internet connectivity to run.
3.1.2. System Requirements¶
Each version of Code Composer Studio describes its list of SystemRequirements. If your system does not meet these requirements you mayexperience poor performance, or the inability to run the application.
The System Requirementssection in the Overview chapter has more information on the requirementsfor this release.
3.1.3. Security Software¶
During the installation of Code Composer Studio there may be packagesdownloaded from the internet and installed. Some anti-virus and securitysoftware detects this and will block the installation. As a result it isrecommended that such software be disabled during installation of CodeComposer Studio. This is not a requirement but if the installation failsit is recommended to try again with the security software disabled. Thefull/offline installation is less susceptible to these issues.
3.1.4. Permissions¶
Depending on what debug probes are selected during installation therewill be device drivers that need to be installed on the system. In orderto complete this step the appropriate permissions on the system will berequired. On Linux this involves running an installation script as sudoat the end of the installation.
Overall the installation process is the same across Windows, Linux andmacOS. Where there are differences this will be noted in theinstallation steps.
3.2.1. Download¶
The installation images for Code Composer Studio can be obtained fronthe CCS DownloadSite.
Select the image that matches the host operating system of the computerthat it will be installed on.
3.2.2. Running the Installer¶
Note that most of the installers are provided inside archive files suchas a zip file. It is necessary to extract the archive file beforeproceeding with installation.
For Linux users it is recommended to install as a normal user and notsudo/root.
3.2.2.1. Dependencies¶
The Code Composer Studio installation is dependent on other softwarepackages. For Windows and macOS users these packages will be installedautomatically as part of the installation. For Linux users the installerwill attempt to identify which packages are missing and display thislist. On Linux the dependencies should be installed prior to continuingwith installation. More information on dependencies is provided in theLinux HostSupport article.
3.2.3. Steps¶
3.2.3.1. License Agreement¶
The end user license agreement is displayed. The agreement can beprinted if desired. The license agreement must be accepted to continue.
3.2.3.2. System Check¶
The installer will check the system to see if it meets the requirementsfor installation. Any issues that need to be addressed will be displayed.Disabling security software is recommended but optional.

3.2.3.3. Installation Location¶
Choose a location to install Code Composer Studio. This location mustnot already contain a Code Composer Studio installation. If multipleversions of Code Composer Studio will be installed then it isrecommended to install them in versioned folders.
3.2.3.4. Setup Types¶
There are two installation types:
- Custom Installation: Allows you to choose the device families and debug probes to be supported. Recommended to reduce the installation time, requred disk space, and overall Code Composer Studio performance.
- Full Installation: This will install support for all available device families and debug probes.
3.2.3.5. Device Support¶
If a Custom Installation was selected, this dialog is used toconfigure which device families to install support for. When a familyis selected on the left hand side, a short description will be displayedon the right. This is useful to help determine which selections to make.
Note that it is possible to add support for families after installationby running the installer again and pointing it at the existinginstallation.
3.2.3.6. Debug Probe Support¶
This dialog allows users to enable support for some common third party Debug Probes.Available options will depend on the device families selected in the previous dialog.
Note that the Spectrum Digital Debug Probes and Boards option includes the supportfor standard XDS560v2 debug probes.
3.2.3.7. Proxy Server¶
If the web installer is being used, an additional dialog will appear -allowing your network proxy server information (if applicable).
3.2.3.8. Progress¶
Kite Composer 2 0 1
As the installation proceeds the progress screen will show what theinstaller is doing. Depending on how many device families were selectedthe installation may take a significant amount of time. The webinstaller will take additional time as it needs to download the requiredcomponents from the internet.
Windows only. If you have Windows Defender enabled, at the beginning ofthis process the alert below may be displayed. Click on “Allow Access”to properly install CCS.
Windows only. If Blackhawk or Spectrum Digital driver install option waschosen, close to the end of the install process the warnings below maybe shown.
3.2.3.9. Driver Installation¶
If installing on Linux as a normal user a screen will be shown thatprovides the location of the driver installation script. It is necessaryto run the indicated script as sudo/root. This will ensure that thedrivers for the debug probes are installed correctly.
