Configtools Pins tool not working for specific package (MK22FN256VLH12)

[carloslop]

I created a new project for the MK22FN256VLH12.  I'm trying to use Configtools to create an initial configuration, but the pins tool doesn't work (it doesn't show any information, see image).

This is very weird because I have projects for this device that I was using a few weeks ago on the same VM and they present this problem now (this is how I noticed this issue). They were working before since I always use Configtools for pinouts and clocks.

In case it helps, the only thing that I did to this VM after working with those projects was installing the ESP32 toolchain. However, I have reinstalled MCUXpresso IDE a few times after this to see if this solves the issue and it doesn't.

The issue is only for this package (LQFP 64). I have tried with other packages and they all work. This is what I have tried:

- Reinstalled MCUXpresso IDE

- Reinstalled SDK

- Tried with other SDK version (2.16). Same issue, just for this package

- Created new workspace/blank project

- Tried with another PC. This worked!

The last test is odd. I installed exactly the same IDE/SDK version in another PC and it doesn't present this issue. I compared the installation files and there are several differences under the C:\nxp\MCUXpressoIDE_25.6.136\ide\configuration directory. But, I don't know if this is a red flag or not.

I'm using MCUXpresso IDE v25.6 in Windows 11 with SDK version 25.06.00.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Carlos

Hello Carlos,

to get faster and proper answer, could you please provide information about version of Config Tools?

See Help | About

Also check <workspace>/.metadata/.log file if there is related exception. Either attach the log, or at least the stack trace (if any).

Hello Libor,

ConfigTools version is 25.6.0.202506181310.

I'm attaching my workspace/.metadata/.log file.

Hello Carlos,

it seems as either corrupted data/low disk space or permission issue. I cannot reproduce issue on my side, so the first thing you can try is to simply delete cached processor data - it will be downloaded again (if you have internet access).

In your case on Windows you can delete (or move somewhere) this folder c:\ProgramData\NXP\mcu_data_25.06\processors\MK22FN256xxx12

Restart IDE and open Config Tools configuration. it should download data again.

Hello Libor,

Thank you, this fixed the issue.

I was not aware of the existence of C:\ProgramData, since it is a hidden folder. As I mentioned, I had uninstalled and reinstalled the IDE several times. However, based on the timestamps of the processor folders inside C:\ProgramData, those files were not removed during uninstallation. It therefore seems that corrupted processor data can persist across IDE reinstallations. IMO these folders should be automatically deleted either when uninstallng or reinstalling the IDE to prevent this case.

Best regards,
Carlos
