An Introduction to Microcontrollers and the C Programming Language (notes-20151112)

13 Nov 2015

I decided to take the course that Element14 was including in their Road Test, but didn't want to wait to get started.  I also wanted to avoid any deadlines as I'll be switching jobs, taking a final, and taking a certification test in the near future.  Although the course recommends using the Windows version, I'm running the Linux version of Code Composer Studio on top of Ubuntu 14.04.2-LTS, with a MATE desktop, on a very low-end Gateway AMD64.

 

I intend to periodically post notes on my progress (initial stuff below) and hopefully provide a contrast to those using the Windows install.  After the course is finished, I hope to compile all of the notes and upload them as a single document.

 

Notes - 12 Nov 2015

 

I purchased the course from Udemy and what parts I didn't already have from eBay[1] (the Launchpad, the slider, and the push button).  The push button[2] and the Launchpad arrived today so I started in on the course's lab notes.

 

  • The first 15 steps were completed without incident.
  • In step 16, when I ran "./ccs_setup_6.1.1.00022.bin" as a user, nothing happened.  This is because I didn't have the prerequisite packages installed.  Linux users should consult the wiki[3] for details on installing the prerequisites.
  • It's worthwhile to note that step 16 can take awhile (~15-20 minutes).
  • In step 17, when the installer asks if you want to create a desktop shortcut, say yes.  The tool does not update Ubuntu's main menu so you'll probably need the desktop shortcut to start the tool.  If you mess this up, create a desktop shortcut that points at (using mine as example) "/home/tim/ti/ccsv6/eclipse/ccstudio".  Alternately, you can create a menu entry by selecting System/Preferences/Main Menu and adding an entry that points to that location. (Keep in mind that I'm using a MATE desktop and the default path for the CCStudio install.)

 

Taking a break at step 23.

 

[1] I made my purchases from Ebay because I had PayPal funds already, and Newark still doesn't accept them.

[2] The smallest lot in which I could purchase push buttons was 10.  If anyone needs 1 or 2 of them, make a comment below or send me a message (here or joatblog on Google).
