Hello.
Work with the MQX in Linux is easy.
Requirements:
- MQX 3.6.2 Windows version.
- CodeWarrior 10.0 Linux version (! not CodeWarrior 10.1, the plugin not working)
- Ubuntu 10.10 or similar.
Step1:
Install CW10.0.
{$CW_INSTALL_PATH} - your installation path.
Step2:
Install MQX 3.6.2 in your configuration.
Install use windows hosted machine or Linux hosted machine use Wine.
{$MQX_INSTALL_PATH} - your installation path.
Step 3:
If required, copy you MQX directory into your work directory.
{$MQX_INSTALL_PATH} - your MQX path.
Step 4:
Copy all *.jar files from
“{$MQX_INSTALL_PATH}/tools/codewarrior_extensions/CW MCU v10.0/eclipse/dropins”
to
“{$CW_INSTALL_PATH}/eclipse/plugins” and extract the contents of plugin name directory.
Example:
copy:
{$MQX_INSTALL_PATH}/tools/codewarrior_extensions/CW MCU v10.0/eclipse/dropins/com.freescale.mcu.mqxprojectwizard1.mqx3.6_1.0.0.jar
{$CW_INSTALL_PATH}/eclipse/plugins/com.freescale.mcu.mqxprojectwizard1.mqx3.6_1.0.0.jar
extract into:
{$CW_INSTALL_PATH}/eclipse/plugins/com.freescale.mcu.mqxprojectwizard1.mqx3.6_1.0.0/
Step 5:
Copy directory
“{$MQX_INSTALL_PATH}/tools/codewarrior_extensions/CW MCU v10.0/MCU”
into
“{$CW_INSTALL_PATH}/MCU/”
Step 6:
Open in gedit
“{$CW_INSTALL_PATH}/eclipse/plugins/com.freescale.mcu.mqxprojectwizard1.mqx3.6_1.0.0/plugin.xml
CTRL+H, for simplicity replase ALL “\” to “/”.
Step 7:
Open in gedit
“{$CW_INSTALL_PATH}/MCU/lib/wizard_data/mqx/3.6/cw_mqx_path.xml”
replase <variable name="mqx_path" value="C:\Program Files\Freescale\Freescale MQX 3.6" />
value=”your valid MQX full path” <- your valid MQX path {$MQX_INSTALL_PATH}
Example:
<variable name="mqx_path" value="/home/ryslan/Freescale/Freescale MQX 3.6" />
Step 8:
Remove directory:
“{$CW_INSTALL_PATH}/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime”
Result:
You can correctly create and build the MQX project.
If you want to edit an existing MQX project (created in Windows wersion), you must:
Step 1:
Open file in gedit
“{$YOU_CW10.0_PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/.project”
CTRL+H, for simplicity replase ALL “\” to “/”.
replase MQX_PATH value your valid MQX path <value> {$MQX_INSTALL_PATH} </value>
<variable>
<name>MQX_PATH</name>
<value>/home/ryslan/Freescale/Freescale MQX 3.6</value>
</variable>
Step 2:
Open file in gedit
“{$YOU_CW10.0_PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/.cproject”
CTRL+H, for simplicity replase ALL “\” to “/”.
Full rebuild MQX libraries currently only supported in Windows version, simple rebild work in Linux.
For use Windows rebuild libraries, only copy build (!!!CW10) MQX lib derictory into {$MQX_INSTALL_PATH}/lib
Plans:
- Create project for Full rebuild MQX libraries in Linux (requires correction postbuild scripts).
- Create CW auto tune script.
- Create MQX build for Linux (rebuild windows version).
say questions and comments.
P.S. Sorry for bad English.
