I gave this a try, just adding the meta-ti layer into my stack.
Sadly, it blew up right away with this error:

I'm not sure what this means or how to diagnose what's wrong.

n.b. I have done the same thing successfully before with the
Angstrom meta-texasinstruments layer (which I know has been
deprecated and replaced by meta-ti), so I know the process can
work.
