KDS crash on adding 10th DMAChannel_LDD (using same DMAController)

[andrewparlane]

Hi,

I was working on a project for the MK12DX128VLK5, using processor expert. I have a single DMAController component, and 9 DMAChannel_LDD components that all reference the DMAController component. I now need to add another DMAChannel (the chip supports up to 16) however whenever I do this, I get the pop up asking which DMAController component to use, if I say the pre-existing one, everything immediately stops responding and I have to end the task.

I then created a new test project for the same CPU, and added 10 DMAChannel_LDD components (all referencing the same Controller) and nothing else. On the 10th KDS crashed again.

Further more I've tried copy and pasting components and editing them later. Also I've created the channel to use a new component, then edited it. Both cases crash as soon as I change the channel / controller to the setup I need.

I was initially running KDS v1.2 when I found this. I uninstalled and installed v2.0.0 which didn't help.

Windows 7 64bit.

I can provide other details on request.

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Alice, thanks for getting back to me.

I'm attaching a newly created test project.

For reference it's a KDS project with processor expert, standalone, for MK12D128xxx5.

Using the default settings, I added 9 DMAChannel_LDDs, the first auto created a DMAController, the rest share the same controller.

I did nothing more, no code, no compiling, no code generation, etc...

To see the crash, simply extract the attached zip into your workspace. Import the project if necessary (I think KDS auto imports anything in it's workspace?). Then add one more DMAChannel_LDD, when prompted choose to use the DMA1 controller. After pressing OK, KDS should crash.

I created this zip first, and then tested the crash, so I can guarantee that the crash hasn't left the project attached corrupt in some way.

I couldn't figure out how to attach zips, so I put it on my dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53739216/test.zip

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for reporting of this issue. I have reproduced the problem - it will be fixed by Processor Expert development team.

Hi Marek,

Awesome, glad to help.

Do you have a rough idea on when the update will be live? I know bug fixing is unpredictable, and what not, but this issue is holding me back from finishing my project off. I've worked around it for now, but it's not a neat fix. I mostly just don't want to miss the update and not realise it's fixed until I next think to check.

Thanks again,

Andy

Hi Andrew,

We have prepared a hot fix for the KDS 2.0.0. See the attached hot fix package.

(the hot fix package has been updated 04/20/2015 due to another issue).

Hi Marek,

I am still using Driver Suite 10.4, which seems to have the exact same problem. Is there a way to fix this in Driver Suite 10.4? (I only need the code generator, since I don't use eclipse as an IDE)

[andrewparlane]

That works great.

Thanks for your quick work, it's much appreciated.

Andy
