cmd file and rescued items problems

rob18767 — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:23:01 GMT

I am running a project for the 56F8355 processor with two targets. The only differences between the target is one generates word address S records while the other generates byte addresses, and the output directories are different.

On open the project I get a messaged saying that some files need to be rescued. These are a an, apparently, random selection of header files. I have set the access paths to only get files from the project code folder for both projects. So I am confused.

I am also getting another messages along the lines of "Different cmd file found in the project xxxxx. Processor expert is generating xxxxxxx. To avoid conflicts it is recommended to remove xxxxx. You can disable generation etc. etc."

I have disabled the generation of linker files for one target but not the other. Do I have to ret rid of the cmd files in both projects and disable the generation of linker files (cmd) for both projects?

Hi,

We've a FAQ giving some info regarding the rescued items.

Please have a look to:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/utils/SingleFaq.jsp?FAQ-28410.xml

Other info about this feature:

* It is important to know that the FILES view in the project window is

'synthesized'. It doesn't really control what get's put into the

targets directly, but is instead more or less 'built' up from the data

that's stored in the targets.

* The _data folder stores a target data file. This file is a file that

stores all of the object files (this is actually changeable),

dependencies, and much of the learned information about your project.

It is because of this file that you can start your IDE on a project

you worked on the day before and still see the symbol highlighting.

* Rescued Items are generally caused when there is a file found by

reading the access paths/file information stored in the .mcp file but

that file is not found in the target data.

So... if you are transferring a project from computer to computer the

target data file/directory has very little meaning as is is really

specific to the file system/local computer.

Regards

Pascal

Thanks.

That should be useful. I have been moved to do something else however I will go over this when I have a chance to get back.
