Fail to generate a .srec file in CodeWarrior v. 10.6

[MAPC]

Hello,

I need to generate a .srec from a MQX 4.2 project, but I can't. I went to Project Properties and tried to enable this, as you can see in the following images bellow. I don't know if I missed something. Can anybody help me, please?

Thanks and best regards,

Marco Coelho

Hi Marco,

the Console view (with the build messages/command line output) should show you more what the problem is. Can you share this?

Hello, Erich

Here it is:

**** Build of configuration int flash debug for project mfs_usb_twrk20d72m ****

"C:\\Freescale\\CW MCU v10.6.4\\gnu\\bin\\mingw32-make" -j8 pre-build main-build

mingw32-make: *** [mfs_usb_twrk20d72m.hex] Error 1

Every time I enable Flash Image generation in Project Properties, this error comes up and the *.elf file that was in "Int Flash Debug" folder simply disappears. The same happens for other MQX 4.2 demos.

Hi Marco,

that 'pre-build' and 'main-build' looks strange.

And what is this makedir.bat doing?

The other thought I have is that you might have 'options per file', see http://mcuoneclipse.com/2013/06/12/traps-and-pitfalls-no-hexbins19-file-created-with-gnu/

I hope this helps,

Hello, Erich

I really don't know what are these pre-build and make.bat doing in the project. Actually, I just loaded the ".wsd file" which includes "mfs_usb" project with all the libraries, selected all the libraries, went to "Build Configurations", "Build Selected" options, cleaned and built all them together. After, I built only the demo itself. And I didn't change anything. I just enabled "Flash Image File" Generation in "Project Properties" and selected the srec format. We are taking this demo as our reference and a start point for our project.

If I repeat the same procedure for other demos, I have the same problem.

Regarding "options per file", I checked my makefile and it looks like those macros are ok, but I found something strange at line 70. There is a pre-build that shouldn't be there? And there is a warning at the line bellow it. I don't know if it means something.

There is no "Reset to Default" option for "Sources" and "Int Flash Debug" folders in "Resources Configuration", in context menu.

I've never imagined that could be so complicated!

Hi Marco,

I've performed some tests on my side.

I'm using CW for MCU V10.6.4 + patch V10.6.5  and MQX V4.2.

I've create a MQX project using the Project Wizard for:

    File + New + MQX v4.2 Project

    Give a project name + TWRK20D72M + Example application + MFS Examples + MFS_USB.

Now the example project was created but I can not build it as MQX libs were required.

MQX libs - import the wsd files for:

    bsp_twrk20d72m.wsd under \Freescale_MQX_4_2\mqx\build\cw10gcc\bsp_twrk20d72m

    psp_twrk20d72m.wsd under \Freescale_MQX_4_2\mqx\build\cw10gcc\psp_twrk20d72m

    mfs_twrk20d72m.wsd under \Freescale_MQX_4_2\mfs\build\cw10gcc\mfs_twrk20d72m

    usbh_twrk20d72m.wsd under \Freescale_MQX_4_2\usb\host\build\cw10gcc\usbh_twrk20d72m

    shell_twrk20d72m.wsd under \Freescale_MQX_4_2\shell\build\cw10gcc\shell_twrk20d72m

After to have build the MQX libs I can build the MQX example project without problem.

Now I selected Create Flash Image in Additionnal Tools and define the Output to srec.

When I build the project it's working fine.

Below extract of my console:

...

'Building target: test_mqx_20D72M.elf'

Hi, Pascal

Thanks for your response.

We found that .hex file is enough for generating images into Cyclone Pro. Now, it is just a matter of curiosity, because that is intriguing me. I haven't tested it with the separate libraries wsd files yet. I just took the .wsd file from C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_2\mfs\examples\mfs_usb\build\kds\mfs_usb_twrk70f120m. That brings out all the libraries together.

Also, I still don't know if 10.6.5 patch has something to fix it, because I didn't install it yet.

But I will repeat the tests following your steps and I let you know the results.

Thanks and best regards,

Marco Coelho
