Cannot open .mex file on new version of MCUXpresso

Hi,

I open project create with MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.0 [Build 3209] [2019-12-12] on new version

MCUXpresso IDE v11.2.1 [Build 4149] [2020-10-07].

All works well except for .mex file that does not open correctly in the new version (blank screen).

Why? What can I do to avoid having to recreate the .mex file from scratch?

 

Thank you very much!

Hi all,

Thanks a lot @ErichStyger .After you use Configure Tools,it will generate .mex file.And all its settings were stored in the source files. When you open the project ,it will read the information from the sources and the .mex will be recreated.

 

Jianyu: 

Have a great day,
TIC

Hi @LArmstrong1985 ,

The .mex file is kind of redundant: all its settings get stored in the source files too in YAML format.

So you can simply delete the .mex and start the pins tool: it will read the information from the sources and the .mex will be recreated.

The .mex is useful if you don't want to send the sources files to someone else, if you just want to send the settings.

 

I hope this helps,

Erich
