FRDM-KL43Z : Cannot compile the ksdk_platform_lib and get the ksdk_platform_lib.a

[antoineeniotna]

Hello everyone.

I purchased the FRDM-KL43Z and I try to compile the platform driver library in Kinetis Design Studio IDE using the "Kinetis SDK FRDM-KL43Z Freescale Freedom Development Board Platform User's Guide.pdf" (4.4 section).

But unfortunately, I have a problem when I reach the end of the compilation and I am stuck right now with the following error :

Dis someone already encounter this problem ?

Thank you for your answers.

I found and solved this issue. I hope it will help maybe other people who want to use linux to code.

It's a really common mistake on Linux which is case sensitive.

Under Kinetis Design Studio, in the ksdk_platform_lib_KL43Z4 project properties, when you check the "C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Buld Artifact" tab, you can see the artifact name is "${ProjDirPath}/debug/ksdk_platform_lib" or "${ProjDirPath}/release/ksdk_platform_lib". But it looks in fact for Debug or Release folders and not for debug and release. So you have to change the value of the folder in this text field.

I hope I have been clear.

Antoine.

Hello Antoine:

I am glad you found the cause. And thanks a lot for sharing the solution, this might help others with the same situation.

Hello Antoine Eniotna:

Are you using Windows OS? There is an issue mentioned in KSDK release notes about maximum length for file paths.

Try installing KSDK in the default directory: C:\Freescale.

Thank you for your answer.

I program on linux. I tried on Windows 7 ans it works perfectly but I would like to make it works on Linux Debian. I installed again the KSDK on the root folder of Linux but I still have the same error. I really don't understand. It's quite the same configuration on the two OS.
