Help with K70 tower board

[vladcarpiuc]

Hello everyone!

I have a K70 tower board with a Cortex M4. I have installed CodeWarrior 10.4 and MQX 4.0.2. I tried to configure my CodeWarrior to work with MQX but I cannot get it working.

This is what I have done:

1. Installed CW 10.4.

2. Installed MQX 4.0.2.

3. Updated CW with Kernel Awareness SDK package.

4. Update CW with MQX plugin 4.0.x and MQX plugin 4.0.x for ARM.

5. Ran install_cw10.2_plugin.bat "path to Freescale CW installation folder" in cmd.

The problem is that the bat gives some errors regarding the version of the eclipse suite.

Here is the entire log:

So, what is wrong here?

Thank you very much, in advance.

Hi Vlad,

I am not sure what could be wrong with your installation but to create an MQX or MQX Lite project you dont need to install all what you installed.

1) In both cases you must first install CW, I recopmmend to download CW10.5(latest version) from www.freescale.com/CWMCU10

2) For MQX Lite projects you dont need to install anything else. You must be able to see the option to create a new MQX Lite project in menu File > New. You can also downlaod Microcontrollers Driver Suite v10.2 from www.freescale.com/processorexpert but for MQX Lite it is not necessary.

3) For MQX projects install MQX4.0.2, you can download from www.freescale.com/mqx Once you install MQX you should be able tocreate a new MQX project using TWR-K70

Follow this steps and create the project you need to be sure the installation was successful. After this install the plugins.

Please note that it you already installed MQX4.0.2 and then you install CW10.5, then CW must recognize MQX installation

Hope this helps!
