BSP cloning wizard fails when MQX install path contains a dash character

[keno]

There is a problem with the BSP Cloning Wizard when the MQX install path contains a "-" (dash) character.

In the image below the actual installation path of MQX is "c:\dev-tools\freescale\mqx_4_1", however the Cloning Wizard incorrectly parses the path to "C:\dev-".  I copied MQX to a different folder name and the Cloning Wizard operates normally.

I know from bitter experience that there is also a problem if the chosen "custom board name" contains a dash. This is because that name is used in many places, including in generated code, and dash is not valid in a C identifier. The cloning wizard doesn't warn about this and generates code that won't compile.

Note: Thank you for notification. It was fixed – it will not possible create board name with dash character (change will be applied from MQX 4.1.2).

Thank you for your bug report.

I will report it.

Just for sure, did you install “MQX 4.1.1 Cloning Wizard Patch”?

I'm presently using MQX 4.1 and have not applied the “MQX 4.1.1 Cloning Wizard Patch”.

I'm using a custom BSP and it seems migrating to a newer version of MQX is not a trivial task.  I'm in the process of reviewing release notes and the MQX forum to gain a better understanding of how to migrate.

Note: In fact problem wasn't with dash character in MQX installation path, but with word "tools" (BSP Cloning Wizard is located in "../MQX_4_x/tools/" directory) and this caused problem in wrong parsing of the MQX location. It was fixed (change will be applied from MQX 4.1.2).

I hope it helps you.

Have a great day,
