OS Awareness and MQX Lite

[marcbunyard]

What do I need to do to get OS awareness active with MQXLite?  I am using Code Warrior 10.4 Professional Edition with the K20D72M in the TWR-K20D72M, and have the MQXLite component in my project.  I don't know how to get the OS awareness working.  I don't see the OS Awareness Tab under Run->Debug Configurations->Debugger.  During debugging none of the MQX tools is functional.

see attached screenshot of where to enable OS awareness.

The "OS Awareness" tab doesn't exist on the debugger tab.  I think something is wrong with my installation.  I started with the Special Suite and upgraded to professional.  Could that be blocking the "OS Awareness" tab?

I think that may be the case since I see the option and tried it out successfully on a K60 board. If you don't have a professional license installed properly, then the OS Awareness feature wouldn't available.

Also make sure you have any updates for it installed:

• Select Install New Software in the Help menu.
• Select “FSL MCU Eclipse Update Site – http://freescale.com/lgfiles/updates/Eclipse/MCU10_4/com.freescale.mcu.updatesite”
• Select MCU v10.4 Updates for MQX.

Thank you Anthony.  I just tried the site, and it's down.  I'll try later.

I am working with an FAE, and still can't get my installation working correctly.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  Firewall?

Thank you.  I did use the webapp site, and downloaded the updates.  Everything went according to the instructions, but I still don't see the "OS Awareness" tab.  I'm working with someone with the premise that it's a licensing issue.  We'll see.

I finally uninstalled Both CodeWarrior and MQX 4.0, then re-installed them starting with CodeWarrior.  Now I have "OS Awareness".  It works for both MQX and MQX Lite.  I don't know what went wrong before, but I was trying to get the MQX 3.8 patch for The AR4100 WiFi board in, and I don't have to do that since it's already in.  So, I don't think I will be touching the environment for a while now.
