Freescale MQX 3.8.x not installing -- not recognizing CW10.3?

admin · ‎12-04-2012

I am hoping this is an easy question and I'm just missing something simple.

I have Codewarrior 10.3 installed in the following directory:

"C:\Freescale\CW MCU v10.3"

When I attempt to install either Freescale MQX 3.8.0 (or the newer release 3.8.1), to the following directory:

"C:\Freescale\Freescale MQX 3.8"

I am prompted with following error message:

I have no previous versions of either CW OR MQX installed, and so no <MQX install dir> exists and so I can't check the suggested README.txt file. I only have the versions listed above.

Am I missing something simple? Thanks for your help!

Hey Markku,

So, I figured out the solution. So, I reverted to CW10.2 ( CodeWarrior Development Suite - Special Product Summary Page) and after that I was able to successfully install Freescale MQX 3.8.

I noticed that installation is indeed dependent on the version of Codewarrior being used, that is, Freescale 3.8 depends on CW 10.2. Also, the CW directory that it checks is hardcoded in the wizard it appears, so that directory must exist exactly as it's spelled out since it's not configurable from the wizard (geez).

The release notes specify CW 10.1 to be the earliest supported version, but I'm guessing since CW10.3 is still in it's beta phase, the MQX 3.8 installer does not check for this.

However, on the bright side, once MQX3.8 is installed, it can be used in the latest version of CW10.3 and installing "MCU v10.3 Updates for MQX" from: http://freescale.com/lgfiles/updates/Eclipse/MCU10_3/com.freescale.mcu.updatesite

seems to add some pretty useful features.

Thanks again for your help,

Richard

Try uninstalling CW 10.3 and install CW10.2.

Then install again CW10.3 and finally install MQX 3.8.1

Soledad,

There's no need to uninstall CW10.3. CW10.2 just needed to be installed so that the Freescale MQX3.8 installer could find the dependencies.

Hello Richard,

attached files from MQX3.8 (C:\Freescale\Freescale MQX 3.8\tools\codewarrior_extensions\CW MCU v10.2)

Installation is easy, just run the bat.

Hey Mark,

It looks like the attached batch script is meant to work with Codewarrior 10.2. I'm using Codewarrior 10.3 and when I run that batch script from CW root, I get a slew of errors such as:

And there are also complaints of missing mqx repositories, such as:

Do I need to downgrade to CW 10.2?

Thanks for your help,
