Component BitsIO Safe Mode: not supported after last upgrade?

[f_m]

Hello everyone.

I can't understand what's going on with my Codewarrior project.

I wrote, build, and debugged a project, using my Freedom Freescale Board FRDM-KL25Z, on Codewarrior 10.3 Beta, and everything worked fine.

Then, i downloaded Codewarrior 10.3, uninstalled the beta version, installed the non-beta one, imported the project and tried to build it, finding out that it has an error: the component called BitsIO, which i used, build and tested without any issue, has its "Safe Mode" property flagged red saying that it's "Not Supported".

I googled a bit but I couldn't find anything about that, so I am there asking for your help.

Any ideas on how to solve that problem, other than using multiple BitIO components (i would like to avoid that)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you switching back and forward between input and output mode?

If not, then you simply could use either input or output direction.

Or are you saying that your software does not work any more if you change the 'safe mode' to 'no'?

Typically this setting is important e.g. if you write a value to a port pin, then switch to input mode and you expect to read-in that value again with the input mode pin.

Typically I have that 'safe mode' switched off as I do not need it, and as it is adding additional overhead with saving the register values which (at least in my applications) is not necessary.

Thank you for your answer.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I was talking about the high level component: the problem resided in the inherited component.

Now I have solved that: I forgot about the "Exper"t visibility, and hence I couldn't find how to change the Safe Mode to no, then I started panicking because I was in a hurry to finish the program.

Thank you again.
