CodeWarrior for LA1224

[NigelP]

Hi,

I have an LA1224-RDB-BHS development board and 'CodeWarrior Development Studio for QorIQ LS series - ARM V8 ISA' (version 11.5.15) with e200 tools add on. But when I try and setup a new project for the LA1224 (e200 side, rather than VSPA), via 'File' - 'New' - 'QorIQ Configuration Project' when I get to the device selection page it does not list the LA1224 device:

How do I configure a project for the LA1224 processor?

Thanks

Nigel

Please download and install Config_Tools_for_i.MX_v16_x64_b240506.exe from the following link.

https://support.nxp.com/s/case/500Tg00000KW12ZIAT/community-codewarrior-for-la1224?language=en_US

LA12xx is listed under processor.

Thanks for the reply, but the download link is blocked, I've updated the case as well.

This version software cannot be downloaded from the NXP public Website.

Please ask your IT to help to fix your firewall problem to access the download link.

Hi,

It's not our firewall blocking it, the blocked message is coming from an NXP site:

I uploaded the installation file to sharepoint, please pay attention to your email box to receive the download invitation.

[NigelP]

Thanks, I've downloaded, installed and run that but it's not clear how that lets me generate a new LA1224 based project within the Code Warrior IDE.

Is there some information on how to do this?

[yipingwang]

Please refer to the attached use guide for configure tools for i.MX.

[NigelP]

Thanks for the documents but none of these explain how to configure Code Warrior for the LA1224 (or LA1235 more specifically). 

I think something is missing from the Code Warrior installation preventing us from creating a new project for the required device (or fully debugging it). 

We are using version 11.5.14 of CodeWarrior Development Studio for QorIQ LS series - ARM V8 ISA.  It has an update installed to provide the e200 compiler. We have an NXP supplied example project which builds for the LA1235 but we cannot create a new project for this device or correctly debug it (it uses the wrong gdb). So it looks like something is missing from the default installation that allows full support of the LA1224/1235 devices.

Please download and install the following service package from the above link.

com.freescale.armv8.11.5.15.E200.INT.Win.updatesite.230810 1.zip

[NigelP]

Thanks, I already have that installed, was required to get the e200 compilation working.

I went back to try and install everything in a clean environment (Windows Sandbox) to see if I did something wrong.

I installed CodeWarrior from CW_ARMv8_v2020.06_b200629GA_Win_Offline.exe. Once complete I check for updates, once requested all available updates to be installed it fails part way through with this error:

An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=epp.package.cpp, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=[R]com.freescale.core.debugger.fsl_gdb 13.0.0.202003111126 --> [R]com.freescale.core.debugger.fsl_gdb 14.0.0.202204131357, action=com.freescale.updater.customactions.actions.FreescaleProcessCheck).
NLS missing message: param_not_set in: com.freescale.updater.customactions.Messages

If I then try to install updates from com.freescale.armv8.11.5.15.E200.INT.Win.updatesite.230810.zip it takes me to a 'Install Remediation Page' (see attached image). If I go with it's recommendations it eventually returns with this error:

An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=epp.package.cpp, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]com.freescale.core.debugger.fsl_gdb 14.0.0.202204131357, action=com.freescale.updater.customactions.actions.FreescaleProcessCheck).
NLS missing message: param_not_set in: com.freescale.updater.customactions.Messages

If I try again and instead select 'Show original error and build my own solution' from the install remediation page it shows these details:

Any ideas how to fix any of this?

Can you install a version of Code Warrior that supports the LA12xx family of devices? And if so what images and steps are required.

It's 2 weeks since my original question and we still haven't got a development environment that we can build, debug and create new projects in, which is not great considering the cost of the development platform.

Thanks

Nigel

Please install CW_ARMv8_v2020.06_b200629GA_Win_Offline.exe in a new path.

Then install the service pack com.freescale.armv8.11.5.15.E200.INT.Win.updatesite.230810 1.zip from Help->Install New Software->Add->Archive in CodeWarrior IDE.

[NigelP]

Sorry that does not work, see attached image 

[yipingwang]

I have verified the installation on my side, there is no problem.

Please prepare a clean installation environment.

Please install CW_ARMv8_v2020.06_b200629GA_Win_Offline.exe first.

Then open CodeWarrior IDE in a new worksapce path.

Then install the service pack com.freescale.armv8.11.5.15.E200.INT.Win.updatesite.230810 1.zip from Help->Install New Software->Add->Archive in CodeWarrior IDE.

As mentioned in one of my previous posts I'm using Windows Sandbox to test this. Windows Sandbox is a VM that provides a clean Windows 11 install to allow testing of applications in a clean environment. If it does not work in that then there is something missing as it is not dependant on anything I have on the host machine.
