[SOLVED] Simplicity Studio v3 can't see my dev board

medicineman25 · 2017-07-06 08:16:46

System is running kernel 4.8.11-1-ARCH

I have SimplicityStudio v3 installed and have had this problem before. However, the manual options to detect the board, in the GUI have disappeared for some unknown reason. No matter, it used to find the board eventually.

This time it does not. It mounts perfectly fine, like it always has (even when it was working) but Simplicity Studio still can't detect the board.

This is my dmesg:

[244352.615821] usb 6-2: new full-speed USB device number 8 using uhci_hcd
[244352.824355] cdc_acm 6-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

[244355.872245]  sdc:
[244355.891256] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk

Nothing to out of the ordinary there... it doesn't see a cache, it mounts it as write through... as it should.

I thought it may have been a permissions thing, so I altered the permissions on the mount point:

chmod 777 /run/access/media/STK3200

but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Some background: I had previously installed this from an old repo of this package (which has been re-purposed to support v4 of this software package). However, some brilliant fellow cloned the old git and made an Arch package for version 3. I figured I may as well re-install from the newer version.

Anyone else having this issue with simplicity studio not detecting their board?

EDIT: Have completely re-installed simplicitystudio3 package to no avail. Also tried using second spare board, still having the same issue. I don't get this, it's mounting just fine as well but ss still can't see anything and the "refresh detected hardware" button doesn't seem to be actually doing anything. Scan settings are set correctly. I'm going to try installing version of of this software and see if that cures my ailment.

EDIT: Have completely re-built my system, still cannot see the board and now it also won't automount like it used to. Really need some help if anyone is able to offer any. Thanks

EDIT: Had a look at who owns the process, nothing unusual...

[access@logic ~]$ sudo ps aux | grep simplicitystudio3

This is from simplicity studio logs

EDIT:

[SOLVED] After re-building my system (xorg, lxdm, openjdk1.8, chromium, ufw, packer, wget, git, jshon, expac) and re-installing SSv3 (including listed dependencies) it still would not detect any attached boards.

A little more digging reminded me that lib32-qt4 is a dependency, however I did not consider that relevant in my early attempts to fix.

It seems that when I updated my system, something changed in lib32-qt4 that affected it's dependency chain. The chain includes gcc-multilib and lib32-libmng, which were definitely not installed on my system at the time of SSv3 functioning correctly.

Currently re-installing, including removing all simplicitystudio related folders in /opt.
