Cannot create a launch configuration

[RogerDavisWork]

We were running with the latest 11.8 version of MCUXpresso but needed to revert to 11.4.1 to have a particular version of GCC.  I was able to install it into a new directory and import and build the projects without any problems, but now that I want to set up a launch configuration, it gives a series of error messages that I cannot get past.

"The launch configuration 'xxx my project name xxx' is incompatible with this version of MCUXpresso IDE. Migrate the launch configuration to the supported format?

If I say 'yes', it says 'Deprecated launch configuration attributes will not be migrated to the new attributes; the new attributes will be set to their default values!"

It then gives me the normal dialog where I can fill out details.  When I select 'Debug' it gives me the same message as above that its incompatible and asks to migrate the configuration.  Then it says that it could not be migrated and should be deleted.

It's an endless cycle.  First, I never supplied a launch config in the first place and would be happy to create a new one but there seems to be no way to do that. Second, there is no way out of this endless cycle.  I have tried deleting any config that I can find, but it keeps coming back and pretending that I have already set it up and it needs to be migrated, etc.

When I installed version 11.4, I put it in its own directory, so it should not be finding launch config files from the 11.8 version.  So, I have no idea what is happening.

Additionally, the 'Debug' button is almost always grayed out, but when its not grayed out, if I click it, I get the error messages described above.  How is it that I should have to migrate a launch configuration that I just created?

Hello, my name is Pavel, and I will be supporting your case, I found the release notes of the IDE v11.8 and 11.8.11 and I found the version of the GCC below.

• Upgraded: GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain to version 12.2.Rel1.

MCUXpresso IDE v11.8.0 Now Available - NXP Community

But I can find the version of the GCC on the 11.4

What is the version do you need?

Best regards,

I don't need a version of MCUXpresso. As my question says, I downloaded 11.4.1 and have been able to import and build my projects.  The issue that I am having is that it will not let me create a launch configuration. When I try to create one, it always says that it does not support the format and it needs to migrate it to the new version.  But, this is a launch configuration that IT CREATED, so why does it think that it needs to migrate the version?  Additionally, when I agree and let it migrate it, it says that it failed and tells me to delete the launch configuration.  I can only guess that it is confused because I have two versions of MCUXpresso on my computer and maybe that is confusing it.  I can still create and use launch configurations for the 11.8 version, just not the 11.4 version.  I believe this is a bug somehow and have no way to fix it.

Hello, I found a similar thread I suggest following the steps mentioned on this.

Could you elaborate further on these questions, I saw on the image you have a K81, is this a custom board or EVK? On the same image have the configuration for the J-Link, are you using an external debugger or the debugger on the board?

When you import the project on the 11.4 the launch configuration was created by you or by the tool? I mean the bug blue or green. did you erase the debug file? Did you clean the project and refresh it? Did you erase the old launch configuration?
