Hi.
I'm now diving into the world of PEx/CDE, and having trouble using my component with older CW (CW for HCS12 v5.1, with PEx v3.02).
The problem is that it takes nearly 30minutes to install even a small (~20KB) PEupd file. It kind of works after that, but is simply a pain to use. Strange part is that the same PEupd file installs instantly and works fine on CW v10.5.
This only happens with the component I packaged, and does not happen with other PEupd files. For example, following installs and works just fine:
To troubleshoot this, I grabbed above S19 PEupd, imported into CDE on v10.5, and simply re-exported it. It doesn't work (works with v10.5, but painfully slow on v5.1).
Now, I re-imported above "painfully slow, re-packaged S19 PEupd" into CDE on v5.1 (this v5.1 is an eval edition, so CDE is enabled), and again did a re-re-export. Surprisingly, now it installs instantly and works fine on both v10.5 and v5.1 CW.
Whenever this "slow installation" issue occurs, PEx keeps showing a dialog with a progress meter saying "Gathering data about component".
After some investigations, I found that
- For those that have this installation issue, they seem to go into "System" PEx folder (C:\Program Files\Freescale\CWS12v5.1\ProcessorExpert).
- For others that install instantly, they go into "User" PXe folder (C:\ProgramData\Processor Expert\CW12_PE3_02).
My guess is installation to "System" PEx folder causes whole rebuild of component database, which takes time.
Is there any configuration I need to do to control this behavior?
I know CW v5.1 is outdated, but I'm still using HCS12 and I'm also wondering what I'm missing with my PEupd file, as other PEupd files installs just fine.
Best Regards,
