I'm just getting started with the TMS432 Launchpad and Ubuntu Mint. Their heart still really isn't into Linux but it's a LOT better than a year ago when I work with a C2000 launchpad.
The install script treats Mint 16.04.1 as plain Ubuntu 16.04. It has to be installed as root. I thought the installer was hanging until I left it hung and went into the lab. About an hour and a half later, the install started. I posted to the support board. A TI employee got back to me within hours telling me they'd found a spot where the script hangs for lack of a non-existent file. The fix will be out in the December release. The CCS is now highly cloud-centric, something I cannot stand since I'm on Hughsnet. The various packages can be downloaded to the local system but again CCS has to be run as root. Again there are long delays as something hung up times out. I will have to say that TI is being extremely responsive to my problems. You might want to look at this page for more helpful info. https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/540011/1976051#1976051 The USB is solid as a rock. Mine is a pathological situation with 6 external drives plugged into the computer's built-in ports and a 13 port USB expander for a bunch more stuff. CCS sorts right through all that stuff and finds the board almost immediately. I can do code development and flash the board no problem. my problems have centered around installing pre-written packages. I need their little RTOS and the SD driver packages. I really appreciate TI's responsiveness, as I'm in somewhat of a jam. Atmel abruptly and with no warning EOL'd the processor in our main induction heater. And they jacked the price of the remaining stock from less than $3 to over $14! So I gotta get a new board designed and my code ported before we run out of stock.
