Thanks guys, I see that you are quite fond of that CCS suite.
What scares me about it is that the wiki:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Host_Support_CCSv6#Debian_64-bit declares some dependencies that are satisfied by Packages in Wheezy!
Alternatively, you can manually download the latest libudev0:i386 package from wheezy and install it using (e.g.): dpkg -i libudev0_175-7.2_i386.deb
If you cannot install libgcrypt11:i386 then add deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main to your /etc/apt/sources.list and try again. This appears to work.
Well I'm not so happy to throw in my Debian Sid with a 4.3 kernel some udev staff from Wheezy :/
This made me think that the whole thing was an "old boat", but if you say that it's worth the effort I'll scarify an ubuntu for it.
If your distro is less than four years old, it'll have both an ARM bare-metal cross-compiler and OpenOCD in the package repository. If not, get the compiler here, and build OpenOCD from sources. Then install the GNU ARM Eclipse plugin.
Never tie yourself to anything vendor-specific, unless you absolutely have to.
This I like more.
I also have some STM32 staff to use (nucleo, maple mini, bluepill) so I guess that I colud use Eclipse to rule them all.
But I bought that Launchpad in order to take advance of the examples and docs, if I go the GCC-ARM way will I be able to use those?
Again thanks for you feedback.
BTW: I've seen somewhere that TI plans to release a 6.2v of CCS 64bit for Linux, yet I have to say that my first contact with the Launchpad board was far from being polished and enjoyable.
