Processor Expert problem

[dporada]

Anyone know what would cause the following error and how to fix it?  I have been using processor expert for the project and I got the following error.

Program "-E" not found in PATH

I'm guessing it is some compiler option that was set incorrectly.

Can you post the console log output produced by the compiler/linker/etc?

You might hit a path length limitation maybe? Is your project deep down in folder on your machine?

I don't speak console, but here you go.

Oh! I do not speak *that* console language too. I have never seen that kind of output. It seems that the GNU ARM Eclipse plugins have a problem or are not properly installed.

Looks like panic messages from the plugin.

What host are you using (Windows?, Linux?).

And it looks like this is from the Processor Expert console. I'm interested in the CDT Global Build Console:

[dporada]

Windows 7.

All I can get is "Nothing to build for project Riley".

In Codewarrior, it seems that I could always force a build by using the Clean command.  This does not work on KDS.  How can I force a rebuild?

[BlackNight]

Hmm, Clean should work in any case. But you can delete the output folder (usually named 'FLASH' in your project root).

[dporada]

Can you decode this message?  This could be the problem.

[BlackNight]

Yes, that sounds like the wrong or no tool chain. Have you created this project with KDS?

[dporada]

Yes.  My first with KDS and MQXLITE.  I switched controllers midstream, could this have caused the problem?

P.S.  I'm good at breaking things.

[BlackNight]

can you share your project,

or at least the

Properties > C/C++ > Settings

[dporada]

I was also wondering....

If you use the Solution Adviser and get the Pin Muxing results, is there a way to bring the results into your project?

[BlackNight]

Yes, I'm aware of that long standing wish (to import the solution advisor data and settings into projects), but this does not exist (yet?).

I am also having similar problems related to Processor Expert

None of the projects that I try to build will build successfully, they all say "Nothing to Build"

What is the right way to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks,

Hello,

your screenshot indicates that this is *not* Kinetis Design Studio you are using? This is a screenshot of the Processor Expert Driver Suite v10.4, and not KDS. And then it makes sense that you do have nothing to build: The Driver Suite does not come with a tool chain, but interacts with tools like IAR or Keil (or your choice of GNU tools). So if you want to build inside the tool, then I suggest that you use KDS?

Below is what you should see from KDS V1.1.0 about box:

[dporada]

Do you want the project zipped, or a snapshot of the settings?  Right now, the "Tool Settings" are empty.

[BlackNight]

The project zipped would be fine.

Maybe something bad happened during project creation or afterwards. Does it happen if you create a new project again?

[dporada]

Well, this is the second time it happened.

[BlackNight]

Hello,

I had a look at this project.

I read that you say above that you have created this project with KDS. But entries in it let me believe that this is a CodeWarrior for MCU project (originally, maybe?).

Or have you opened/modified it with CodeWarrior, or converted it otherwise.

What I see is that the toolchain configuration in it is brocken. This happens for example if a project is using incompatible or orphaned/old tool chains.

So at this stage this is my best guess what happened.

[dporada]

Well, I have re-created the problem, and you are correct.  This happens when I open CodeWarrior.  I use the same workspace, so the project opens automatically when CodeWarrior is launched.  Even though I get a warning about updating the settings for processor expert and cancel, the change still happens.  When I re-open KDS, I get the Program "-E" error.

I guess I need to have separate work spaces to get around this problem.

Thanks for your help.

[BlackNight · Accepted solution]

Oh, you are sharing a workspace with different Eclipse versions/distributions?

That explains all the strange things.

This is even mentioned in the release notes if I remember right.

I even use different workspaces for each Eclipse project I'm using, otherwise this simply will cause a lot of troubles, sooner or later.

So keep things separate, as they are *really* separate.

Erich

[dporada]

My projects are in different folders, but in the same workspace.

Release notes???  Who reads those? 

I may have missed that one.
