Renamed MCUXpresso project keeps some old filenames

[laszlo_hars]

MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.0_2516, SDK_2.6.0_FRDM-K28F

I copied, then renamed the "hello_world" SDK example, to "cycles", with updating its references. Still, a few file names retained the old project name "hello_world". How could I rename these files to change the old "hello_world" string to "cycles"?

A simple right-click rename does not help: the next build recreates and uses these old file names.

I found the problem. it is a bug in MCUXpresso project renaming. In top level of the project directory, in the workspace there is a file ".cproject" (in case of a C project). It is a normal text based xml file. In there we find a few references to the original project name, which were not updated at renaming the project.

   The fix is easy. Using any text editor (which does not change line ends) search for the old project name occurrences and replace them all with the new project name. Be carful, some short strings as project name might accidentally occur in unexpected places - so do the replace operation one-by-one, and check for validity.

Hello Laszlo Hars,

Right click your project, choose "Clean project", also delete those old named files below:

Build your project again.

Have a great day,
TIC

Thanks, Alice, but these don't fix the problem (clean, delete, build). The next build still recreates the old filenames.

You probably need to change the build artefact names. See the responses in this thread:

Thanks, Con, but you can see on the screen shot that the artifact name is already correct. Your linked discussions are about changing that. The three file names in error are *.ld. I could not find, when and where they are created, and how to change their filenames.
