Hi Stanislav,

it's great to hear the news:smileyhappy:, I have downloaded and installed the IDE with no any errors.

I created a simple project of MPC5748G with the IDE for test, all configurations are the defaults, builded to be finished with no error and warining.

but when I started to download and debug the project with Multilink-Universal FX and MPC5748G EVB(MPC574xG-256DS + X-MPC574xG-MB), I got the following errors:

Connection from "127.0.0.1" via 127.0.0.1

PE-ERROR: CAN'T READ REGISTERS. TARGET IS RUNNING

Error Resetting device for programming.

PE-ERROR: Error downloading to the device.

PE-ERROR: CAN'T READ REGISTERS. TARGET IS RUNNING

I'm sure the driver of Multilink-Universal FX is correctly installed and the IDE automatally update its firmware when I first time plug it and launch the debug.

from the error information, it seems the reset script not found, which file is it under the path--C:\Freescale\S32_Power_v1.0\eclipse\plugins\com.pemicro.debug.gdbjtag.ppc_1.1.6.201511041643\win32\gdi\P&E\, should I add it manually(how to do it?).  could you help to fix the issue?

thanks~!

Enwei Hu.

Hello Enwei,

Thanks for your post!

The issue you describe is probably caused by a higher capacitance of the reset pin on certain versions of X-MPC574xG-MB EVBs.

I have figured out that boards with S/N AX15xxxxxxx may cause this issue.

Anyway there is an easy workaround: just add "Delay after Reset...." in the main core debug configuration.

I tested 250ms on multiple boards and debug works fine now.

We are going to fix this issue by adding a default delay into MPC5748G project in the next release.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Stanislav

Hi Stanislav,

thanks very much for your timely reply, I can debug the board now.

I find the  perpheral register value cannot be modified directly in EmbSys Registers window, can the EmbSys Registers  support the feature of online edit? if so, how can I enable it?

I think the feature of CodeWarrior 10.6 register window is very good, for it not only support online edit the register values but can display the details/functions of of peripleral and e200z core register bits.

Has access to this been pulled? I just went to the listed link. The power architecture version is not listed there.

Hi Norm,

Thanks for the heads-up!

Indeed S32 Design Studio for Power is missing on NXP web.

Currently there is Freescale->NXP migration in progress so you may observe some glitches on the web.

We apologize about inconveniences.

I'll let you know once it's available again.
