What to do if S32DS does not start up?

ferenc_kallo — Mon, 18 May 2020 06:26:24 GMT

I'm using NXP S32 DS for Arm (S32DS_ARM_Win32_v2018.R1_b180326). I installed it on my computer, and I've been using it for about a mounth without any problem. But currently I experienced, that when I try to launch it, nothing appears on the screen, except the windows which you can see on the picture I attached, shows up for 2 seconds. If I wait 10 minutes nothing happens. I also tried to restart the computer, but it didn't solved the problem.
Meanwhile I also launched a task manager, which show S32DS as a background process, and it has about 20% CPU load, but seemingly does nothing. I reinstalled the software which solved the problem for a while, but then the problem comes again.
Could somebody tell me how to resolve this issue?
Thank you very much!

Hi Ferrenc

could you try to clean eclipse cache:

s32ds.exe -clean -refresh

If it doesn't help please post here the error log that should be placed into your workspace directory.

<workspace>/.metadata/.log

Hope it helps.

Thank you for the quick response!
I've tried cleaning the cache, but unfortunately it didn't help. I've attached the log you mentioned.
By the way, I'm using 2 workspaces, and last time this problem came was when I opened once NXP, and the same time I double clicked on it's icon to open it again, to do something in the other workspace parallel. Maybe that is which leaded to failure?

Recently I had to reinstall the the software again, but this time I was careful about not launching it more than once at a time - previously I mentioned that I suspected that the failure was caused by launching the program and opening a new workspace at the time when the program was already running. But anyway, after a while the problem appeared again: the program didn't wanted to start up.

I didn't want to reinstall it again, instead I tried to modify the files in the installation folder. I don't know how, but the following solved my problem:
in C:\NXP\S32DS_ARM_v2018.R1\eclipse\configuration\.settings I opened the org.eclipse.ui.ide file with note pad, and rewrote the second line in it as follows:
RECENT_WORKSPACES=\\

After that, the program did start up. I searched the workspace location in which I've been working before, it loaded and it seems that everything is working fine now.

I tried all steps beside re-installation. But it does not work.

I attached the log. Is it probably a firewall problem?
