MQX 3.8 problem

[Teckna]

Hi everyone

I'm not sure if this is the right place where report my problem.

I've dowloaded and installed MQX 3.8 on my PC with Windows 7 64 bit and Codewarrior 10.1 with no error. But if I try to create a new project, there is no "MQX 3.8 Project" menu item. I tried to repair the installation many times, but with no success.

I tried even on another PC with Windows XP 32 bit, everything is ok.

What can I do now?

Many thanks

Hi Teckna,

there is folder in MQX directory

MQX 3.8\tools\codewarrior_extensions\cw_mcu_v10.1  (for 10.1 codewarrior)

This batch file re-installs CW10 Task Aware Debugging and New Project wizard plugins
    Usage:   install_cw10_plugin.bat "<Path to CW10.1 installation>"
    Example  install_cw10_plugin.bat "c:\Program Files\Freescale\CW MCU v10.1"

Use example and paste it to the command line.

Regards,

Hi,

             I also had a similar kind of issue. While installing the MQX3.8 I got the following message:

"CodeWarrior and/or its extensions are not installed. CodeWarrior extensions can be manually installed. The installation procedure is described in <MQX install dir>/tools/codewarrior_extensions/README.txt"

The readme file says to copy the contents of the file but not to run the batch file:

"Manual installation of CodeWarrior extensions:
Copy content of "<MQX install dir>/tools/codewarrior_extensions/<your CW version>"
directory into installation directory. CodeWarrior is located in "Program Files/Freescale/<your CW version>"" by default.

Supported compillers:
  - CodeWarrior for ColdFire V7.1
  - CodeWarrior for ColdFire V7.2
  - CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers V6.2
  - CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers V6.3
  - CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers v10.0 (eclipse based)
 
 
Installation contains:
   - CodeWarrior for ColdFire 7.2 and CodeWarrior for Microcontrellers 6.3 project stationeries
   - CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers v10.0 New Project Wizard
   - Task Aware Debugger (TAD) plugin*
   
*TAD is availale only for "CodeWarrior for ColdFire 7.x and CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers v10.x"
"

But if we look at <MQX install dir>/tools/codewarrior_extensions/CW MCU v10.2/install.txt, it states to run the batch file

"Execute the install_cw10_plugin.bat <CW_INSTAL_DIR> command to install MQX TAD and Project Wizard into CW10.2.
All required data files are  copied into CW10.2 automatically during this installation."

Which one is correct ?

Hi,

You run the .bat file from the MQX installation directory running it from the code warrior directory didnt work for me  (not installed to default location below) :

C:\dev\Freescale\MQX 3.8\tools\codewarrior_extensions\CW MCU v10.2>install_cw10.
2_plugin.bat "c:\dev\Freescale\CW MCU v10.2"

Make it sure that mqx 3.8 is installed in the same directory as CW MCU v10.1. This works for me. 

[Teckna]

Codewarrior is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Freescale\CW MCU v10.1" directory, while MQX is installed in "C:\Dati\Freescale\Freescale MQX 3.8" directory.

In Windows 7 you cannot modify the files inside the program installation directory, this is why MQX is not installed in the same directory as Codewarrior.

The old MQX 3.7 works fine.

for the same reason I have installed Code warrior at location other than program installation directory, where mqx 3.8 and CW are installed. Remember that while installing mqx 3.8 the installer displayed the location of CW MCU. I think if your code warrior is installed location other than what is prompted, you have to manually link mqx files and directory to code warrior. I am not sure how to do that since I use Keil as my IDE. Code warrior is backup and it works fine for me.
