CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

pgrondin — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:07:44 GMT

I am looking to find a way to get the USB P&E Multilink drivers working with CodeWarrior 10 for Linux

I looked for some procedures on the beta site but did not find anything. I saw that RedHat Enterprice 5.2 is supported somewhere in the CW10 documentation but I guess the real answer is that CW is not that limited regarding Linux distribution.

I tried with Ubuntu 9.10 x64 and Ubuntu 9.10 x86 without success. In both cases CW10 ran fine but when I tried to debug the code with the P&E Multilink for a HCS08, the Multilink is not found (GDI not found error)

Looking at the installation, there is a P&E folder is /usr/local so I tried to recompile et reinstall the driver but it did not work. On x64, it simply does not compile while on x86, it compiles but does not install complaining about a missing usbfs.

I am willing to switch Linux distribution if needed.

Thanks for the help.

I have the same problem.

I tried Ubuntu 10.04 x64 and failed because of a libusbxxx file. but i did not try to solve it because there is no expressed support in the documentation files.

Then i tried then with suse 11.3, and face the same problem plus a few kernel compilation issues. This time i got rid of them all, until i got this message :

configure: error: You are trying to install WinDriver for i386 on x86_64.

I also tried folowing the jungo instructions at this page

http://www.jungo.com/st/support/installation_instructions.html

but i get the same error.

here is the output from the installation attemp.

The documentation from windriver says the driver has support for x64, but may be another file not supplied by the codewarrior instalation package. so i may ask :

have anyone used succesfully the p&e multilink in any linux x64 distribution ?

have anyone used succesfully in ANY LINUX distribution ?

The P&E USB ML12 works fine on Mandriva 32-bit 2010.1 though when installing, you'll need to link a few include files before the install.

Re: CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

HCatalin — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 16:45:53 GMT

Hi Pierre,

The official Linux distribution supported by MCU10.0 is Linux Red Hat Enterprise Edition 5.2 32-bit. Please use exactly this version in order avoid any issues with the P&E drivers and runtime libraries.

Note that in order to install the P&E driver you have to use a SU user.

If this doesn't work for you please enable the logger from the Launch config dialog \ Connection tab and attach it.

Re: CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

xtronics — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 22:10:20 GMT

Are you really telling people you don't support x86_64 hardware (or the majority of computers shipped to day)? This problem has nothing to do with using Redhat vs other flavors of Linux.

Re: CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

mdelac01 — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:03:48 GMT

Same issue here...error seems to be:

$ mount: unknown filesystem type 'usbfs'.

The strange thing is that when I first installed CW 10 on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine it all worked perfectly. I was able to detect my Multilink USb no problems.

But starting today, I cannot detect it any more

I'm considering re-installing the entire thing again.

Any one has been able to fix this?

Re: CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

I think there is no hope for our P&E multilink in linux x64.

I looked allover the windriver webpage (the programmers of our multilink drivers) but i could not find support for 64 bit.

but there is hope, the osbdm should work on x64 but i have not tried yet.

I could install CW 10 without much problem

To use MQX, i had to uncompress the files (run the installation .exe file with wine or windows) , copy the files to the workspace and manually link the libraries to my project.

I could compile successfully my project, but sadly, i cannot use the MQX wizzard. It would be necesary to modify some of the plugin files.

THIS IS TRUE FOR ANY LINUX FLAVOR / 32-64 BITS

xtronics — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 06:14:40 GMT

The question is if multi-link at least works under i86? I'm setting up a box next week to find out.

Re: CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

It appears that you need to setup a command in /etc/rc.local

I'm still getting :

Error initializing Debug Database.
Could not load debug database. This is indicative of an installation or configuration problem. Please contact customer support.

Can someone confirm if this is due to the failure of PEsrv ?

Re: CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

xtronics — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 11:31:37 GMT

It appears that PE multilink isn't working on Linux even on i386 ?

The PEmicro tab is dimmed - I've confirmed that the module is loaded

$ lsmod |grep wind
windrvr6 161735 0

Any other clues - or perhaps I've wasted enough time on this?

WORKAROUND THAT WORKS FOR ME!

Ok, as I posted earlier, I could not get Codewarrior 10 Eclipse to recognize the USB P&E Multilink before.

Now it is working for me after doing the following steps once every time I reboot my linux box.

/PATH/TO/CODEWARRIOR_MCU_10.0/Drivers/pemicro$ sudo sh setup.sh (reinstall drivers)

/PATH/TO/CODEWARRIOR_MCU_10.0/eclipse sudo ./cwide (execute CW10 with root privilages)

I know that this is not the final solution, but when I do this, I am able to flash, debug my HCS08 hardware using the P&E USB Multilink and CW10.

I hope this works for everyone else.

Does this work for anyone else?

Hello mdelac01 and community!

Been trying to get it up and running, to no success. My case:

Freescale MC9S08QG8 on the DEMO9S08QG8 board

connected via USB cable to host: Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit on the 32-bit acer laptop with custom 2.6.35 kernel compiled with CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS (to avoid error in pemicro setup.sh)

Ran

./Drivers/pemicro$ sudo ./setup.sh

./eclipse$ sudo ./cwide

In cwide upon executing Debug->hello-world_MC9S08QG8_PnE USB BDM I get:

Info: Notice - Cyclone Pro/Max USB driver did not initialize. (2000000A)Info:        - Library=libwdapi1002.soInfo: Error opening selected communication interfaceError: Error - Port not found.Info: Could not contact P&E Hardware Interface. Check Power and Connections.Info: Could not contact P&E Hardware Interface. Check Power and Connections.

and this in dmesg:

[10987.064602] OS_register_devices: Not supported on this platform[10987.064760] OS_register_devices: Not supported on this platform[10987.064851] OS_register_devices: Not supported on this platform

2000000A means WD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED (from http://read.pudn.com/downloads66/sourcecode/windows/vxd/238062/p9054/windrvr.h__.htm)

This might be the clue, but could not find anything on this one in the net..

Earlier had fixed the "mount: unknown filesystem type 'usbfs'" error during ...pemicro$ sudo ./setup.sh , but did not solve the problem.

Had this problem (2000000A) months ago, too, on EasyPeasy Ubuntu-8.10-based netbook distro, so I do not think that testing it on 10.04 would be worth the time.

Where could be the problem in my case?.. (see more listings under the signature)

I realy much hope that at least it works for most of you Linux fellows out there!

sledge -

Which version are you running - the ~~isn't that~~ special version for Linux MCU I found is different than the evaluation version.

(Who knows why).

The problem you are having is different - I'm running Debian squeeze - i386 2.6.32-5-686

,.,.,.

The PE effect I now see is the menu is there at startup - but dims after a couple of seconds.

Does the BDM device have to be powered up (yellow LED lit) for the menu item to stay un-dimmed ?

xtronics, I am running a Special Edition. Eval version did not install, because of the corrupted install file. I might try to re-download and re-try the eval version.

But as far as I remember my first attempts with 8.10 EasyPeasy distro ended up with the same USB Debug error even whilst trying the Eval version (had a non-corrupted one).

Many thanks;

It works, having booted back to Ubuntu 10.04, mounted the Special Edition installation from the 10.10 partition, ran pemicro setup.sh, and the only difference was that the windrv6_usb driver was built, too, and insmodded correctly.

This resulted in a successful debug session, having the board flashed with the hello world binary.

Great success!

Now for the curious investigators it is time to find out, why windvr6_usb does is not insmodded and/or built (only windrv6.ko is)

sledge -

I would stay away from the eval version - I found it unusable.

I don't know which is the latest - they seem to have borrowed a page from M$ play book with silent revs - it should be something like CW-for-Linux-10.0.xxx so forum users can compare apples with apples.

Can you tell me if the P&E menu dimms if the target board is not powered up? Or disconnected?

Re: CodeWarrior 10 Eclipse Linux : Getting USB P&E Multilink drivers to work (HCS08)

sledge — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 06:28:46 GMT

xtronics,

PE Menu lights up upon connect, and stays lit. When I disconnect (and/or plug the USB cable out), it dimms.

I could test the PEMenu when the board is not powered up (i.e., it powers up via USB voltage supply anyhow automatically). To change the jumpers to get the supply from an external source, I do not want to try (since I do not yet have an external supply here with me)

executing ./Drivers/pemicro/windriver/wdreg windrvr6 auto is needed every time after restart; thanks for this, xtronics!

Hi sledge

I am somewhat confused. Having tried everything you and the other guys suggest, I still cannot get my P&E USB Multilink BDM to work on either 9.10 or 10.04 (two different computers). I eventually contacted the local Freescale distributor in South Africa, who took up the matter with P&E Microcomputer Systems. Someone from P&E contacted me and suggested that I download some drivers from their website. I tried, but it turned out that the file was a Windows executable. When I mentioned this to P&E, I received this reply:

"We don't currently support Ubuntu 10.04 (or 9.10 for that matter) as all of our tests were done with 9.04 and 8.10."

You said that you managed to get it working on 10.04? I wonder why I can't. The BDM works, because I frequently use it with CodeWarrior 6.3 on a Windows installation. This is the only thing standing in my way to move over totally to Ubuntu.
