Problem in MQX KDS plug-ins

[troide]

Hello community,

I try to add MQX plug-ins using "MQX_KDS_Getting_Started.pdf" section2. I updated the related packages but there is neither MQX menu nor "New Project option". I imported the Hello_world sample project but I get the following warning:

It seems KDS doesn't know where is the library files. Any idea?

Hello

Did you imported the "build_lib.wsd" file corresponding to your board successfully  before add the sample ?

Or when you did  according to the "MQX_KDS_Getting_Started.pdf" section2 ,  any errors ? If have error , where ?

And in kds, indeed no MQX wizard like CW.  We can use the sample or copy&paste the folder Project use to work. But some paths need to be modified.

Hope it helps

Alice

Alice

Hello Alice,

yes, I use TWR-K60F120 and I imported the related "build_lib.wsd" and I built the whole BSP without any error.

So if there is no MQX wizard how can I crerate a new project for MQX and add related middlewares like file system or rtcs?

I used to use MQX wizard and I liked it.

Another question. I use P&E multilink. Is it still supported in kds? if so, where can I download the driver?

right now in debug config I don't have any choise for this programmer!

Cheers!

Hi  S M,

Create MQX project on KDS , you can refer to :

1. Copy from the example folder a MQX project (i.e. C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_1\mqx\examples\hello) and paste in any other folder.
2. I remove the projects I don't need for other toolchains or other boards.
3. Open for editing the .cproject with any text editor
4. Search in file for "MQX_ROOT_DIR"  and change the value like this : "MQX_ROOT_DIR" type="VALUE_TEXT" value="C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_1"/>
5. Replace the string '${ProjDirPath}/../../../../../..' by ‘{MQX_ROOT_DIR}'  (All the matches)
6. Save the changes
7. Import the project into KDS and build. You should build without errors.
8. Change the project name if you want and now you have a MQX Template project that you can copy&paste any times and add the new sources.

(This is refer Luis )

About anythings else , Erich said is good !

Hope it helps

Hello Alice,

In .cproject I found two lines with "MQX_ROOT_DIR" and I changed them as follow:

<stringMacro name="MQX_ROOT_DIR" type="VALUE_TEXT" value="${ProjDirPath}/../../../../../.."/>

to

<stringMacro name="MQX_ROOT_DIR" type="VALUE_TEXT" value="C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_1"/>

Then I imported hello example using file--> Import --> Existing Projects into Workspace

once I build the project I got the following error:

Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
fatal error: mqx.h: No such file or directory	hello.c	/hello_twrk60f120m/Source	line 28	C/C++ Problem

It seems the link to bsp is broken!

Do you have any suggestion?

[Alice_Yang]

Hello S M

I'm sorry i said not clear above, now , i say again.

first, search ''MQX_ROOT_DIR'' , and change the only first one,   change   <stringMacro name="MQX_ROOT_DIR" value="${ProjDirPath}/../../../../../..">     to  <stringMacro name="MQX_ROOT_DIR" value="C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_1"> ;

second, search       ${ProjDirPath}/../../../../../..        and change all of to   ${MQX_ROOT_DIR}

last   save the file .

the attachment is  i modified .   please change Freescale_MQX_4_1_1  to Freescale_MQX_4_1  , (my MQX install in   Freescale_MQX_4_1_1 )

hope it helps

Hello Alice,

unfortunately, I can not unzip your project (I got a damaged archive error). Would you please send just .cproject file.

Sina

hello S M

This is the .cproject file , hope it helps .

[troide]

Hello Alice,

Yes, it works now. I was able to build the project without error. but I wonder if there is any plan to add the New project wizard to KDS anytime soon? That's very handy feature.

Also, I noticed that the source files are imported as "link files" rather than copy files once I import the project. Is there any way to change them to real files?

Cheers,

Sina

[Alice_Yang]

Hi SM,

About change the "link file" to copy file :

1,New a new folder use KDS,  "Source"

2, New some new c files under the "Source" , the name as the same as the  link file names . be careful use KDS, not create in the folder directly .

3, Find the link files' location , and put the link fies to replace the new C files in the Source folder directly.

4. refresh the project in KDS.

Perhaps there is an easier path, but this one works for me.

Alice

Hi S M,

Official support of KDS in MQX is planned in MQX 4.2 & MQX 5.0 coming later this year. 

At that time MQX plug-ins for KDS (e.g. Task Aware Debug & New Project Wizard) will be available.  Also, MQX project files for all libraries and examples will be available for KDS. 

Alice

Yes, the P&E Multilink is supported, see

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-101845

see GDB PEMicro GDB Debugging

>>if so, where can I download the driver?

They are installed by the KDS installer. Otherwise you can download the drivers from the PEMicro.com web site too.
