MCUXpresso - Tools Overview BUG

[danielkrol]

Hi,
I would like to report a BUG in MCUXpresso for macOS in the Apple Silicon version. The Tools Overview window is not visible. Clicking the Open Tools Overview button has no effect. I downloaded the Intel version and ran it via Rosetta - everything works!

Have a nice day!

Hi @danielkrol,

Thanks for reporting this issue!

Could you please provide the IDE release where you see this bug, as well as the macOS version if possible?

This would be great information to fix this issue more efficiently. Thanks!

BR,
Edwin.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. Yes of course - I see the problem in MCUXpresso 11.8.1 and 11.9.0 on macOS 14.3.1. Three different computers (one with Apple silicon M1 and two with M2 Max). Maybe the problem exists in older versions but I noticed it recently when I needed to enable Peripherals tool for FRDM-MCXN947. Other MCUs which I using have the Peripherals tool enabled by default, so I didn't pay attention to the Tools Overview window.

Have a nice day!

Hello Daniel,

I confirm the issue for M1/M2. This will be fixed in a Config Tools v15 update. The workaround (may be for other users as you've already installed x86 version) is to open created *.MEX file (inside the Eclipse project) using text editor and find the XML element for the particular tool that should be enabled/disabled and manually edit the "enable" attribute. For example enabling Peripherals tool can be done changing from:

<periphs name="Peripherals" version="14.0" enabled="false" update_project_code="true">

to

<periphs name="Peripherals" version="14.0" enabled="true" update_project_code="true"> 

save *.MEX and re-open the Config Tools configuration.

Regards,

Libor
