LS1043ARDB Missing Target Connections in CodeWarrior Connections View

[btibrad]

I am unable to see any target connections following the Getting Started Guide. I've been able to install CW and build Hello World bare, but attempting to deploy via Connections View comes up with empty list.

The first day I installed this software the list was available and looked like the list in the getting started guide. I wanted to note CCS binary is also not starting automatically and I believe it may be related.

Ultimately, I have a CodeWarrior Tap but would like to use the CMSIS-DAP connection for day-to-day work.

Just following "3.2 Working with bareboard application" in ARM V8 ISA Hardware Board Getting Getting Started Guide. We've already established a functional RCW and the CW Tap is in case I brick things badly. We've already validated our board design with an LS1023A and this is purely a software effort using the RDB as a convenient dev platform.

The DDR controller configuration in the default LS1043ARDB project is for LS1043ARDB only, these parameters are not suitable for your custom board. So the bare board hello world program cannot run on your custom board without customize DDR controller configuration parameters.

Please run diagnostics task in CodeWarrior IDE  to check whether it is possible to access OCRAM.

First, please enable hard-coded RCW through JTAG.

Please open CodeWarrior IDE from C:\Freescale\CW4NET_v2020.06\CW_ARMv8\fsl_eclipse.bat. in "Target Connections" panel, please right click "LS1043A_RDB" to duplicate it to generate LS1043A_RDB(1), double click it to open "Target Initialization File" panel to do the following modification and click "File->Save" to save the modification.
USE_SAFE_RCW = False
=>
USE_SAFE_RCW = True
Then click "Diagnose Connection" icon(marked in read in the attached screenshot) to connect to the target board to do testing.

I'm afraid the extra context I gave confused the issue. I am running on a LS1043ARDB, not a custom board.

As my previous screenshots show my Connections View has nothing in it and shows Disconnected. The CCS server is not running. My target is booting just fine as I can show in this screenshot

I feel like this is a more basic issue with how I installed the software or how CodeWarrior is launching. I did try launching via fsl_eclipse.bat.

Please download CW_ARMv8_v2020.06_b200629GA_Win_Offline.exe and com.freescale.armv8.11.5.12.GA.Win.updatesite.221209.zip from the following link.

https://support.nxp.com/s/case/500KA000002GiinYAC/community-ls1043ardb-missing-target-connections-in...

Please install CW_ARMv8_v2020.06_b200629GA_Win_Offline.exe first, then open CodeWarrior IDE and install service pack com.freescale.armv8.11.5.12.GA.Win.updatesite.221209.zip from Help->Install New Software->Add->Archive.

After installing CodeWarrior for ARMV8 11.5.12, please put your "license.dat" file in folder C:\Freescale\CW4NET_v2020.06\Common.

Then refer to the section “3.2 Working with bareboard application” in C:\Freescale\CW4NET_v2020.06\CW_ARMv8\ARMv8\Help\Getting_Started_for_CW_ARMv8.pdf

I'm afraid the download link you provided doesn't work

I installed the service pack available here, is this the same?

[yipingwang]

Yes, the same.

[btibrad]

Yes, the service pack is installed, no Target Connections.

I have launched using my standard account, and also as administrator. In desperation, I logged in as administrator (my IT department doesn't allow this). When logged in as an admin, I see the target connections again. This also worked on my standard account the first time the program was launched after install.

I'm at a loss, I will not be able to login as admin to use CodeWarrior.

Please refer to the attached screenshot, please click the "C/C++" icon marked in red at the top right of the panel.

Are you using a QCVS DDR project? If yes, please double click "DDR_mc1:DDR", LS1043A processor with CodeWarrior TAP probe will be listed. Please refer to the following.

In addition, CMSIS-DAP connection is not supported in QCVS DDRv project.
