Can build project, but cannot update pin changes

curtis_hendrix — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 15:04:51 GMT

I'm working on code that was created by another team. I can successfully build the project, but I cannot update any changes made with the Pin Config utility. The "Update Project" button is grayed out with the message "Action is not available, because no toolchain project was detected in the configuration directory".

How do I fix this?

Hi Curtis,

switch to `Develop` perspective and check the project - look into Problems view and Error Log view to find what issues are reported for the project. The typical root-cause is that you do not have SDK package assigned to the project, so SDK project cannot be loaded.

I had 2 warnings about an Include path not found. They were part of the Assembler settings under Project Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings ->MCU Assembler -> General. They weren't needed so I removed them from the project, which removed the two warnings.

I did a clean build of the project and "Update Project" is still grayed out with the same error message in the Pins configuration.

Hi Curtis,

I can see the following exception in your log:

java.lang.Exception: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: The project 'Project_Name' has no nature com.nxp.mcuxpresso.core.datamodels.sdkNature

This means the SDK project nature was not initialized properly and this is the root cause why you cannot use SDK specific features in Pins/Clocks/Peripherals. Please follow your project with MCU IDE team, to get help on this problem: https://community.nxp.com/community/mcuxpresso/mcuxpresso-ide
