toolchain install stuck at 50% (install default apio..)

[jojo535275]

hello everyone,

I got an colorligth i5 FPGA board and want to try to use it with icestudio.
So i just installed icestudio (0.5.1w210224-) on min Win10 .
And when i launch the app, i can select a board (i tryed with various boards)
Then i can launch the toolchain install. but this function is stuck at 50% (install default apio..)

Maybe it is only on my machine!? Any ideas to help me solve this issue

Thanks

joaquim

There seems to be a bug on Win10 that causes this problem (the reason why it happens it is still unknow as the users has not given us enough feedback). Please, try to install the toolchains manually following these instructions:

https://github.com/FPGAwars/icestudio/wiki/Installing-the-Toolchains-from-outside-icestudio

Any additional feedback will be very welcome in order to know what was the problem (missing dependencies, python issues...)

hello Obijan and cavear,

Thanks for your repplies.

some infos thay may help understanding (or not :-) ) this issue:

1. i also tried to install it on a linnux virtual machine (lubuntu) and got the exact same issue.
2. Then i installed (on win10) the previous version (icestudio-0.5.1n210107-win64)
   and with thaht version i had no problem with the toolchain install.
   Then, i installed the last version (0.5.1w210224) and there was no notifications to "install the toolchain" but i launched a toolchain update and it went fine.
   So i think i can not reproduce the problem on win10. (or maybe by deleting manually the files)
3. But as i can reproduce the problem on linux VM, here is the log file
   icestudio-log.txt

Next, i will try to install the toolchain manually on linux VM and let you now the results.

muchas gracias

I just tried the manual install of the toolchain on linux VM and it did the trick!

So everythink works fine here. i will now configure icestudio to work with my ecp5 fpga (colorlight i5 v7) following Fernando Mosquera instructions.

Thanks again guis for doing this great work.
