can't read symbolics for target 'simulator.out'

[SeanW]

I just installed the free version of CodeWarrior IDE 5.9.0 Build 2386 for Freescale MPC55xx version 2.2 build 71004.

I am running an example project from the AN2865SW Code Cookbook. The project builds but when I go to use the simulator I get the error

"can't read symbolics for target 'simulator.out'"

I am brand new to Code Warrrior.

Thanks in advance.

I have used a number of different processors over the years and I guess that I was surprised that the MCP family does not have a simulator.  I did recompile the Code Warrior projects. I am able to get them to work if I start a new project, however if I use the project file that comes with the example (including a simulator option which again does not exist I am told) the project fails.

You may also want to try rebuilding the project.

Hello

I am not familiar with the AN2865SW Code Cookbook, but according to the message you are seeing, it seems that the format of the simulator.out file is not  what the debugger expects.

What is this simulator.out file exactly?

Is it a S record file? An ELF executable file?

How did you generate it?
