GSG:CCSv5 installation

Configuring the installation

1. If the small download was chosen, skip to step 2. Otherwise, the installer file must be extracted.

• In Windows, double-click on it and click on the button Extract All Files. Write down which directory the installer was extracted.
• In Linux, double-click on it and click on the button Extract. Write down which directory the installer was extracted.

2. Run the installer:

Important! Administrative privileges are required for installation, except for Linux as mentioned in the Note below.

• In Windows, double click on the installer <ccs_setup_5.x.x.xxxxx.exe> (the x represents the software version and may vary).

Note: If installing on Windows Vista or Windows 7 and User Access Control (UAC) is running, at this point UAC will ask for permission to run this installer.

• In Linux, open a terminal program and go to the directory where you downloaded (or extracted) the installer. Run it with admin privileges by typing the command below (the x represents the software version and may vary):

host$ sudo ./ccs_setup_5.x.x.xxxxx.bin

Note: if you get a message command not found, the installer may not have the appropriate permissions set. From the command line simply type:

host$ chmod 777 ccs_setup_5.x.x.xxxxx.bin

Note: although not recommended, it is possible to install it as user but two conditions apply:

The installation directory must be user-writeable

The emulation device drivers must be installed with admin privileges at the end of the installation:

host$ cd /%CCS_INSTALL_DIR%/ccsv5/install_scripts

host$ sudo ./install_drivers.sh

Above, %CCS_INSTALL_DIR% is the directory chosen to install CCS. By default it is /opt/ti.

3. The installer will open and display the license agreement. It has to be accepted before moving to the next step.

4. Next step is to select the desired installation location:

In Windows the default install location is C:\ti, and in Linux it is /opt/ti

Tip: If running Windows Vista or Windows 7, it is not recommended to install CCSv5 under C:\Program Files if the User Access Control (UAC) is enabled.

Tip: You can also install CCSv5 as a collection of plugins to an existing Eclipse installation.

5. Next step is to select the desired installation type:

Fig. 3: Setup Types

1. Custom allows choosing every device family and feature to be installed. If using the small installer, this is the preferred choice as it will only download the selected features.
2. Complete installs all device families and all features, but still allows selecting the types of emulators. If this option is chosen, skip to step 8.

6. If Custom was selected, the next screen shows the device families to be installed.

Note: For convenience the installer shows the download and install sizes at the bottom of the screen.

Tip: For performance improvement, it is advisable to install only the device families needed. If needed, additional families can be installed later by re-running the installer.

7. If Custom was selected, The next screen allows selecting the features to be installed. Check the box Description for a brief explanation of each feature. If needed, additional features can be installed later.

Installation starts

10. During installation the main installer screen below will be shown.

Note: the progress bar and list show Downloading even if the full package is being used. This is normal.

Note: sometimes the screen may show (Not Responding), but this is normal as it waits until each component installer finishes its operation.
