Porocessor Expert: ERROR: Not possible to run ...

[marcinmazur]

Hi.

Finally i got KDS installed and updated to newest version 3.1.0, PEx 3.0.2b, KSDS 1.3.0.

I'm trying to start new simple project with PEx for processor: mkl03z8vfg4

Every time I add one of those components:

Component: i2cCom1 of type fsl_i2c<br/>Description: Kinetis SDK

Peripheral Driver (i2c)

Repository: KSDK 1.3.0

Component: spiCom1 of type fsl_spi<br/>Description: Kinetis SDK

Peripheral Driver (spi)

Repository: KSDK 1.3.0

Component: adConv1 of type fsl_adc16<br/>Description: Kinetis SDK

Peripheral Driver (adc16)

Repository: KSDK 1.3.0

Component: voltageRef1 of type fsl_vref<br/>Description: Kinetis SDK

Peripheral Driver (vref)

Repository: KSDK 1.3.0

and press the Generate PEx code button (Cant remember the right name) I get a following ERROR:

ERROR: Not possible to run: Drivers\Kinetis\printConfigs.js.javax.script.ScriptException:
sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot find
function getEditorData in object
com.processorexpert.core.service.api.internal.PExInspectorIntegerItemAPI@404e93.
(<Unknown source>#89) in <Unknown source> at line number 89

Components are configured,  and I can not see any errors.

Other components added (and dependent of those) are working fine.

What i'm doing wrong ?

Marek & Jennie  thanks or your involvement in my problem, but that was a wrong way. The problem was much deeper.

So.

After 2 days of investigation, dozens of attemps to install, update and repair etc. the problem has been identified and I found a solution (workaround).

The BUG:

When trying to update KDS to 3.1.0 it fails with following message:

An error occurred while uninstalling

session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Uninstall, operand=[R]com.somniumtech.kds.executable.win32.win32.x86 3.0.0 --> null, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.CleanupzipAction).

Backup of file D:\nxp\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\kinetis-design-studio.exe failed.

File that was copied to backup could not be deleted: D:\nxp\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\kinetis-design-studio.exe

At this point the KSD is BROKEN. Any attempt to rescue or repair does not give expected result - even if you get everything looking fine. If You will continue using KDS, it will be unpredictable, You will not be able to update or install addons or you will get lot of very strange errors.

The ONLY solution is to install KDS from scratch!!

Trust me, I spend 2 days trying dozens of different solutions.

The problem exists ONLY under Windows. Linux and probably MAC should not be affected.

It is derectly related to this:Unable to update KDS from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0

ant it has source in ECLIPSE bug under windows: Bug 427148 – Unable to update from one version to the next, on Windows only - can not remove eclipse...

Solution: (workaround)

• Uninstall KDS
• The KSDK is unaffected !! so if you got it installed, dont touch it. It is OK.
• Do a fresh Install of KDS 3.0.0
• BEFORE you attempt to update KDS to 3.1.0 you HAVE TO rename KDS executable and INI file:
  • Exit KDS
  • rename your KDS executable file located usualy at:
  • C:\Freescale\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\kinetis-design-studio.exe
  • to something like this:
  • C:\Freescale\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\__kinetis-design-studio__.exe
  • rename your KDS.ini file located in same folder:
  • "C:\Freescale\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\kinetis-design-studio.ini"
  • to something like this:
  • "C:\Freescale\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\__kinetis-design-studio__.ini"
  • Both file file SHOULD have same filename but different extension.
• Now you have to start KDS by running the renamed exe file. Do not use shotrcut - it bassically do not work at this moment.
• Update KDS to 3.1.0 using standard procedure from KDS_3.1.0_Release_Notes.pdf.
• KDS will ask you to restart.
• Enjoy your fully working bug free(hope) KSD 3.1.0 with PEx 3.0.2b
• Now you can search for updates, install KSDK 1.3.0 plugin etc.
• Enjoy.

I hope it will be helpfull for many (all ?) Windows users :smileywink:

My conclusion is:

   Have developers had tested update procedure under Windows ?

Could you please update KSD 3.1.0 release note? Or maybe better, release a full 3.1.0 installation package?

That was my 3rd (and last for sure) attempt to start development for Kinets devices ... and I'am sure I'am not the only one who dropped Kinetis devices because of broken tools...

Best Regards

Marcin.

Hi Marcin,

sorry for the problem. We're now releasing full installer of KDS 3.2. This will include KDS3.1 and several additional P&E and Segger updates.

Regards,Marek

So, there is my project.

It is ... empty. Just Clock, and I2c.

[MarekTrmac]

Hi, I've tried your project "test_1" in KDS 3 and I can generate the code without any error.

Can you go to Window - Preferences - Processor Expert - Repositories and Paths and checkl if KSDK1.3 repository is listed and enabled?

Attached is a screenshot, what I have installed on my computer I've highlighted row that should be mandatory for your project.

Regards, Marek

[MarekTrmac]

Hi,

what operating system do you use?

I've created the project based on your description and I do not see any problem with code generation.

Can you double check, if you have the Processor Expert 3.0.2 fully installed, using Help - About - Installation details (see attached picture).

Regards

Marek

Hi.

I'am using Windows 7 Pro, 64bit.

Today I reindtalled whole KDS + KSDK ... and the problem still exists (new project)

My installed components seems to be pretty same as Yours:

Any idea ?

Hi Marek,

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang
