Peripherals Tool: "unsupported version of the I2C CMSISDriver in the toolchain/IDE project"

[danielholala]

Hi there,

using Peripheral Tools, I just wanted to add an "universal i2c driver" (i.e., CMSIS based driver) to my project:

However, in the window where I get to "Select configuration component", I see a warning a FLEXCOM_I2C_CMSIS:

"Unsupported version of the I2C CMSIS Driver in the toolchain/IDE project. Required:2.2.0, actual 2.3.0"

Why is this and how do I resolve this issue?

FYI, this is my project setup:

Installed SDKs:

Theses are CMSIS SDK components in my project:

Running MCUXpresso IDE V11.6.1.

Thanks!

Hello @danielholala,

Unsupported version happens because SDK has a different version than the one Config Tools expects; nevertheless, for this case, it should not be a problem to proceed with your configuration.

Could you please add the FLEXCOMM_I2C_CMSIS driver and try to configure it out?

Best regards, Raul.

Ignoring the warning seems ok.

I'm now also trying to add the FLEXCOMM_USART_CMSIS driver via Peripheral Tools to my project.

Here, the same warning ("unsupported version ...") appears:

Hello @danielholala,

Like the last warning, this happens because the ConfigTools is expecting a different version than the SDK has; but the warning should not be a problem to stop your configuration.

Being that said, older SDKs should meet the version ConfigTools is asking for. SDK v9.0 for example, has the required: 2.2.0.

The recommendation is to go ahead with your configuration; but if your goal is to eliminate the warnings, you could try with older versions of the SDKs like v9.0 to meet the ConfigTools.

Best regards, Raul.

Hello @RaRo ,

Thank you for your comment.

I don't want to install an older SDK just to meet the SDK version which Config Tools are asking for. Most of all because documentation and NXP support always suggest to install the most recent version of an SDK. For example, the page https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/welcome states: "NXP strongly recommends you update to the latest version of MCUXpresso SDK that contains essential security updates for Bluetooth Low Energy software stack implementations."

I therefore expect Config Tools to be compatible with the latest version of the MCUXpresso SDK.

Doesn't that make sense?

Best regards,
Dan

Hi, 

Unfortunately, the support of the newest SDK driver is yet in progress. The warning will be fixed along with next release of the config tools. For now, as a workaround, it should be fine to ignore the warning.
