How do you compile one file in KDS?

[aerodame]

I notice that you can clean, build project, build all in KDS, but just right clicking and compiling ONE source code file seems to be missing?  Or is it hidden in some menu somewhere?

How do I send zipped project files to this forum?

Yes, got it this time.  Thanks.  I've successfully created working sets now although I'm still unsure of whether this is the preferred way to create a project file for the IDE or whether this method is becoming deprecated.  Either way I can work with it now.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Hi Stephen,

make sure you have 'build automatically' disabled. See https://mcuoneclipse.com/2016/05/26/build-and-clean-selected-files-in-eclipse-cdt/ and the trouble shooting section.

I hope this helps,

Erich

Good tips all...  I'm racing up on a holiday 4 day weekend.  I did make a little progress today by setting up both a Mac and Windows8 computer.  The Windows 8 computer doesn't seem to have the debug issue (I think...)  but I'm still investigating.

The tip for disabling the automatic build works so that now I can just compile one file.  This is what I need to try and figure out how to incorporate the DSP CMSIS files and get them compiled.   If I have a lot of errors I need to narrow down to which file is causing me grief.

One question... I seem to be missing the kds/*.wsd file on any project that is created from scratch.

But this file is present in all of the board/demo files in the SDK.  

How do I create this and do I need it in my projects?

Hi,

I attached a video of how to create a working set.normally one working set can include several projects.

Users can refer attached video to create their own .wsd file

Have a great day,

Hi Stephen,

the .wsd files are simple xml files describing project dependencies. The origin is from MQX projects and they are used in some of the SDK projects. They are used by the 'projects of projects' plugin you have in KDS. Usually you do not need them in your projects.

But how do you save a project and then reopen it on a separate machine without a project file for KDS?

[aerodame]

So it sounds like they are being deprecated?   It confused me because I started with the demo files and discovered that you needed to open up the wsd file as the "main project file".  What's the equivalent with non-wsd projects?

OK, I struggled through figuring out how to create Working Sets and then exporting the files such that I can use the working set as my "project file" for importing to other platforms.  Not a straightforward process at all, very confusing where there is no default IDE project file, but maybe I'm missing something simple.  I used (https://community.nxp.com/message/551614#comment-551614 ) as my guide and that seemed to work out.  I didn't realize there were these hidden options.

Anyway, now I'm left with a very confusing situation.  I have created three identical projects to blink the tricolor LED.   (project foo, bar and ban).  Only Foo will actually load into the debugger.  Bar and Ban go through the motions to load, but they just come up running already and don't seem to load their code.  I have double checked all of the debugger options and they are identical between all three projects.

Can someone with a K22F FRDM board try this out?  I have workset set files in each of these project zips, so you should be able to import them.

I need to figure out how to upload these as three files in attachment.

Hello Stephen

To compile one signal source file, user can run the GNU Tools for ARM Embedded for compiling. The compiler tool is “arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe” which is under KDS installation folder:

C:\Freescale\KDS_v3\Toolchain\bin

The compiler command and options can be found from either Project Properties or the consol when building the project.

The KDS supports auto build, manual build, incremental build. May I know why you need to compile one single file? For its disassembly output? 

Best Regards
