DS-5 Can't compile MQX 4.0.2 psp_twrvf65gs10_m4

[Nouchi]

Hello,

With DS-5 on Ubuntu 13.10, I can't compile the MQX psp for vybrid M4 core, on a fresh MQX install.

"../../../../source/psp/cortex_m/core/M4/support.S", line 29: Error:  #5: cannot open source input file "asm_mac.h": File name too long

#include <asm_mac.h>

../../../../source/psp/cortex_m/core/M4/support.S: 0 warnings, 1 error

Fatal error: A1905U: Pre-processor step failed for '../../../../source/psp/cortex_m/core/M4/support.S'

I can compile BSP with some warnings, but it compiles.

any ideas?

For those of you having issues building MQX, in particular the PSP component, with ARM DS-5 v5.17.x, check out this thread:  DS-5 release 5.17(.1) compatibility issues with MQX

This resolved it for me and I built all of MQX (v4.0.2) with no issues using DS-5.

[torstencoym]

This seems to be an issue with the DS-5 5.17 release.

I had the same error message when compiling on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS both 32-bit and 64-bit as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 6.5 32-bit.

However, after removing DS-5 and installing a fresh DS-5 5.16, the compilation of the PSP went smoothly on my Computer.

Can anyone confirm?

[karine_fernandez]

I confirm, it seems to be a DS5 v5.17 issue: I had the exact same compilation issue on DS5 v5.17 and also on v5.17.1.

I removed DS-5 and installed DS-5 v5.16, and then I didn't get any compilation error.

[jackblather]

Ah! That might be the reason why I haven't seen that problem. I'm still on 5.16. I wonder if v5.17 installs some bogus include paths or something in the projects. I was going to install 5.17 today, but after seeing this, I'll wait. The bug fix list in v5.17 isn't enough for me to really want to install it anyway.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Win7 neither Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bits

"../../../../source/psp/cortex_m/core/M4/boot.S", line 31: Error:  #5: cannot open source input file "asm_mac.h": No such file or directory

If I apply the Pato Three's trick, I get :

"../../../../source/psp/cortex_m/core/M4/dispatch.S", line 32: Error:  #5: cannot open source input file "asm_mac.h": File name too long

I don't know, if it's DS-5 problem or MQX PSP/BSP problem, but now, I'm stuck for a week.

What a waste of time!

You also need to replace all the:

#include <....>

with

#include "..."

in your .s files.

It's a little bit quick and dirty, but it works fine :smileyhappy:.

"It's a little bit quick and dirty, but it works fine"

That's what I said in my earlier post, feel free to come up with a better fix. AFAIAC this and other problems as well quickly convinced me to get away from DS-5.

[jackblather]

Interestingly, I have not had this problem. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit with DS-5 5.16, MQX 4.0.2-GA.

The instructions in Freescale's "Vybrid Getting Started Guide with Linux-MQX" document starting on page 30 about importing the BSP and PSP for Vybrid were a big help.

How did you guys install the MQX source tree into Ubuntu? This is how I did it, following the instructions in that guide: I downloaded MQX Linux installer from http://www.freescale.com/webapp/connect/displayPartnerProfile.sp?partnerId=1-2AE4-11&tid=vanTIMESYS . There's a link "https://community.nxp.com/" name="MQX Linux Installer" title="https://community.freescale.com///MQX Linux Installer" on that page. It's a shell script. I installed it and it was ready for DS-5 to import and build. However, the .wsd file (working set) was goofed up and wouldn't import the projects properly. The XML script is broken so I had to import the eight projects individually and then put them all into my own working set. After resolving that, the BSP and PSP compiled. I didn't have to change the source files to alter the include file lines.

I hope that helps.

Hi Jack,

I cannot talk about Ubuntu, I just tried with Win7. The thing I hated the most was that it took 1h26mn on my system to build the complete MQX (BSP/PSP/MFS/RTCS/SHELL/USBD/USBH) from scratch. Just change a config parameter and again that long break before being able to test it. Really glad it's over and now I use DS-5 just to confirm if I find something that doesn't work as expected.

[jackblather]

Wow, that's a long time. How long does it take to compile all that on, say, IAR or CW?

[pato3]

8min with Crossworks (AMD-A4-5300 3.40GHz Win7-32bit)

How long does it take on Linux ?

[jackblather]

179 seconds with DS-5 on AMD A8-5600K 3.6 GHz Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit. I didn't believe this number so I did it three times. Cleaned before each build run. Then checked the build logs.

That's quite a difference from 1.5 hours. Apparently, something is up with your Win7/DS-5 setup. No wonder you're frustrated with it. Maybe you're running out of memory and it's thrashing? I had to give DS-5/Ubuntu 3.5 GBytes of RAM. Anything less than 3 Gig and it started to thrash and things took longer and longer. With 3.5 Gig, it seems to be happy. I found that DS-5 is kind of a memory pig. So is Ubuntu.

[pato3]

3min, that's excellent !!

I recently upgraded my PC hardware (and did a fresh win7 re-install) and my other apps seem to be running fine. The system's got 4GB of ram but only 2.47 can be used on WIN32.

Still I can live with 8min, besides I'm new to MQX so I learned a lot while creating the solution files for the Crossworks toolchain.

[jackblather]

8 minutes isn't bad at all.

[pato3]

Thanks Jack.

[jackblather]

What is the path to where you have the MQX source installed? I'm running DS-5 on Ubuntu 12.10 (32-bit). I have not seen this compile error. Maybe the path name to the include file is just too long?

My install path is "~/timesys/FSL-MQX/FreescaleMQXRTOS4.0.2-GA" and thus the path to the asm_mac.h file is "~/timesys/FSL-MQX/FreescaleMQXRTOS4.0.2-GA/mqx/source/psp/cortex_m/compiler/rv_ds5/asm_mac.h". So the pathnames are pretty short.

FYI, I used to run DS-5 on Ubuntu 64-bit (12.10), but found it problematic and switched to 32-bit. Problems evaporated.

[Nouchi]

First I use Ubuntu 13.10 64 bits, and MQX, DS-5 are installed into their default path.

It's really weird, because path are short.

Could it be a JAVA issue?

[jackblather]

You might want to try switching to 32-bit Ubuntu if you can. I had problems trying to get DS-5 to work properly in 64-bit Ubuntu.

Also, I'm using 12.10. I don't think 13.10 is supported yet.

For 64-bit DS-5, ARM DS-5 supports these OSes:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Desktop with Workstation option
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Workstation
• Ubuntu Desktop Edition 12.04 LTS

As you can see, 13.10 is not supported.For 32-bit DS-5, ARM DS-5 supports these OSes:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Desktop with Workstation option
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Workstation
• Ubuntu Desktop Edition 12.04 LTS
• Ubuntu Desktop Edition 10.04 LTS

13.10 is not there, either. I wonder if your problem is that your OS is too new?

I got this information from ds.arm.com/downloads .

[Nouchi]

Ok, I will try to downgrade my system

Edit: I try to compile with Window 7 SP1 32bits, and I get similar error :

"..\..\..\..\source\psp\cortex_m\core\M4\boot.S", line 31: Error:  #5: cannot open source input file "asm_mac.h": No such file or directory

  #include "asm_mac.h"

Fatal error: A1905U: Pre-processor step failed for '..\..\..\..\source\psp\cortex_m\core\M4\boot.S'

I checked path setting, and everything seems to be OK.
