MQX 4.2, MQX 4.1, MQX 4.0 Command Line Build Question

Keith4DSmith — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 17:46:27 GMT

I downloaded MQX 4.2. I read the paragraph in doc/MQX_Getting_Started.pdf on using MinGW make to build MQX for target boards via the command line.

Executing the published command line, nothing was built.

Looking in the specified directory, Freescale_MQX_4_2/build/<target>/make, there is no makefile or makefile.mak or any other file for MinGW make to execute.

I then compared the 4.2 download to the 4.1 download.

The 4.2 download is missing batch files pre-built to build MQX for the specific board.

The directory path is Freescale_MQX_4_2/build/<target>/make

The make directory contains tools but no pre-built batch files.

Looking closer, the paragraph on running MinGW make states:

To rebuild the MQX RTOS libraries navigate to the <install_dir>/build/<board>/make directory and run this command

(building MQX RTOS using the GCC from CW10.3 and later version of the toolchain):

C:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe build TOOL=cw10gcc CONFIG=debug

The path should be

<install_dir>/<mqx_component>/build/make/<board>

However, this has to be run for each and every component of MQX.

The pre-built batch files of MQX 4.1 walk through each of the MQX components, saving a lot of typing.

To further confuse things, I looked at MQX 4.0.

In the original path Freescale_MQX_4_0/build/<board>/make is indeed a makefile as required for the the Getting Started PDF MinGW make paragraph.

Please, what are command line build instructions for MQX 4.2? Did I install MQX 4.2 improperly?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi soledad,

Can you please share some information on how to build the MQX libraries with Truestudio atollic.

What are the possible ways?

I have heard about command line MQX library building. But can you refer any resource in reference with atollic and MQX library building?

Thanks,

Hello soledad,

Link you provided is I think for MQX RTOS for Kinetis SDK. Unfortunately I am currently working with the classic MQX_4_1.

However if there is anything which can embed both of this will work. But still my question remains unanswered.

I am looking for a source which relates the Atollic and classic MQX (to be specific, I need bsp, psp, rtcs and usb libraries) build for my custom application

I have searched some points where I have found that one possible way is using the makefile.

Can you point the direction to any brief document or forum for Atollic and classic MQX?

Thanks,
