CMSIS build problems with LPCXpresso v4.2.3 [Build 292]

[lpcware]

Hi!

I'm new with the LPCxpresso software. A few weeks ago I bought a LPCXpresso Motor Control Kit from Embedded Artists.
During this week I have tried to explore the board.Unfortunately I cannot even build something as basic as the CMSIS library.
The error message is always the same:

arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
make: *** [src/core_cm0.o] Error 1

I'm using the latest version of LPCxpresso (v4.2.3 [Build 292]) on windows 7 (64bits).

I have searched this forum but I didn't find a clear solution to this problem. 

Please I really need help.

The build log content is:

**** Build of configuration Debug for project CMSISv1p30_LPC11xx ****

Hi RedCode Team,

I have added the full paths to system32 and system32\wbem in the Additional Path Directories and  now the debugger is accepting above 8K limit.

Thanks for all.

Zero,

Your tips were also precious.


TheFallGuy,

Yes it is true. I can´t blame anyone for the problems on my windows installation.

Thanks.

As TheFallGuy says, these should be on your path by default. You must have something in you login that is removing these from your path (autoexec is one candidate).

You should be able to add them in LPCXpresso like this:
Windows-Preferences
-->LPCXpresso
---->Paths and Directories
and add the full paths to system32 and system32\wbem in the Additional Path Directories

However, I would recommend sorting your installation out as we don't know what else is going to be wrong with it...

You are asking question about the setup of your Windows. You can't blame anybody but yourself for a bad installation... As we have already seen, you have some strange setup on your computer (i.e. GCC_EXEC_PREFIX).

The most likely problem is that you have an autoexec.bat that is setting the path without preserving the previous value:
set PATH=<my path additions>;%PATH%

TheFallGuy,


I have added C:\Windows\System32 to the path. But for some reason it is not visible to lpcxpresso. You can see the result below.

Why?

Any idea?

(CodeRed team is there any explication for this?)

I beg to differ. In an earlier posting, you showed us your environment (env.txt). It showed your PATH as

No sign of system32 in there...

The"system variable" path already contains %systemsoot%\system32.
The symptom persists.

Can I introduce the path directly on lpcxpresso?

[lpcware]

Add %systemtoot%\system32 to your path - it should be there by default.

The only way to execute cscript or ipconfig is typing as follows:

%systemroot%\system32\cscript

%systemroot%\system32\ipconfig

Is there any way to force this approach when the debugger is running?

Below  we are informed the ipconfig.exe and cscript.exe are not recognized.

So you are missing two standard Windows utilities which are required for LPCXpresso to run. You will need to fix your Windows installation.

This project is compiling without problems to a nice little 16.5k bin file, so the project is not the problem :)

Zero,

The project I'm trying to download is a demo application for controlling a brushless DC motor.
You can check the demo if you want.

Yes, it is a license of 128k.

Sorry, can't read this license files. I assume your license is 'FULL' =128k ?

Perhaps you want to post your (hopefully simple) project, so problems with project settings could be excluded :)

The lpcxpresso ide is finally performing well. I have to confess the installation is painful for a guy like me with a background in electromechanical engineering. Anyway I'm not a virgin to this area. I have been working for two years with CCS and IAR tools. And my primary goal is improving my skills on digital control to implement robust power electronics designs.
  So I would like to thank Zero and the Code Red team for helping me.


  Nevertheless the story is not yet a happy ending…



Now I have a problem with the flash memory. The message is classic: License restriction: Flash image too large for this license.


  I have posted the “.log” file and the content of c:\users\public\lpcxpresso directory in a zip file as recommended.

Ask your Admin?

Try undefining the environment variable "GCC_EXEC_PREFIX".
