I'm struggling to use Simplicity Studio on Fedora 29 (64 bit).   The problem comes when trying to install the Bluetooth SDK (also when opening the internal web browser.)

Initially the error message was the oft reported:

Failed to execute runnable (org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)])

I saw the advice about using libwebkit.  Both versions 1 and 2 are installed on my OS:

ls -l /usr/lib64/libwebkit*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       28 Feb 11 19:49 /usr/lib64/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 -> libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.33.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 46471648 Feb 11 20:05 /usr/lib64/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.33.7
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       44 Feb 15 15:00 /usr/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so -> /usr/local/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       44 Feb 15 15:00 /usr/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 -> /usr/local/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       44 Feb 15 14:59 /usr/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17 -> /usr/local/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17

However, SimplicityStudio doesn't seem to be able to find these library files.  The error message remains the same.

So, I thought I'd try downloading xulrunner from here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.19/sdk/

However, no 64 bit version exists.  Just to confirm I pointed MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME at the xulrunner and added the xulrunner bin directory to the library path.  The result was this error message:

[snip]/SimplicityStudio_v4/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/196/0/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-4528.so: libxpcom.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

So three questions:

1) How do I get SimplicityStudio to work?

2) How is a "manual" installation of the SDK, as suggested actually done?

2) When will there be a version of SimplicityStudio that doesn't rely on these libraries? After all xulrunner has been dead for a long time, and version 1 of libwebkit is considered a security risk by the maintainers of version 2.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi 

I am using a wireless STK to measure the power consumption of a target board. The AEM has a 10kHz sample rate, but I can't get all these samples via the board controller and I would also like to capture the data realtime. I noticed the Energy profiler tool in Simplicity Studio (which captures all the samples) can be used when the WSTK is only connected via ethernet to my PC(Windows 10). So I captured the communication with Wireshark between the energy profiler and the WSTK:

-- IP of my PC is 192.168.2.101, IP of WSTK is 192.2.103 (fixed IP's), this is with Simplicity Studio, WSTK is directly connected to my PC

I tried to reconstruct the TCP_SYN packet (3) and send it to the WSTK with scapy (python). It responded with a TCP_SYN_ACK packet (4), so I'm able to communicate with it, So I sent a TCP_ACK packet (5) back, but  the WSTK waited for a second and then reset the connection. 

-- This is with Scapy

Does anyone know how the protocol exactly works or what I'm goes wrong here?

Thanks,

Stijn

May I exclude the files in folder ".metadata" and the build foders like "...Debug" from my git repository?

Also the folder "outgoing", may it be excluded. 

Just trying to have a "clean" repository.

Hello,

I am using the wireless starter kit mainboard development board for the BGM111, after uninstalling Simplicity Studio and getting the update of December 2019 the programming of my modules became really slow! Either for external modules (programmed through the the debug adapter and mini interface) or the onboard module from the starter kit.

I tried on several computers and the same thing is happening all the time: instead of loading the program on the BGM111 in instants, it taking every time exactly 2 minutes...

On another computer with an older version of Simplicity Studio, everything is running just fine, how can I solve that issue?

I tried to get back to older version of Simplicity but it seems impossible due to the installer downloading the IDE online, is it even possible to get back to an older version?

Thank you.

Hi,

Viewing the callstack is a really important feature and when using Micrium OS, I see that I only get to see the current function in the callstack. This makes it really difficult to debug applications.

Is there no way to see the entire callstack? 

Thanks 

Hello

I have imported one of our projects into simplicity studio and although it builds without error and generates the .hex and bin files I get the following message in the Problems window;

DESCRIPTION                                              Location                                                                                 Type

Program "gcc" not found in Path             [Discovery options] page in project properties               C/C++ Problem

I am using the latest version of Simplicity Studio and do not understand why I am getting this error, could someone please help with this.

Hi! Previously Simplicity Studio was almost unusable, continuously hanging and crashing on Mac. I've found a fix on this forum (editing the hosts file):
https://www.silabs.com/community/mcu/32-bit/forum.topic.html/start_of_debug_sessi-DsbH

Now Simplicity Studio is running smooth but "Uploading to Device" takes a very long time. It can be sitting idle for 5 minutes, after which it connects and programs the device within 2 seconds. I don't have this issue on a Windows machine at all. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Changing Wi-Fi networks sometimes seems to help? 

Other relevant posts I've found:

Hello everybody,

I'm getting started with multiprotocol examples. I read that GCC support for Dynamic Multi-Protocol was beeing developed, has it already been released? if not, there is a date for this release? 

Thank you!

Gorka.

I have SLWSTK6060B Flex Gecko ERF-32 PCB-4001 Rev A03 boards and both of them have the same USB driver issue.  Windows 10 Pro (V1909) is stating that the boards are not responding to a device descriptor request.   These boards are straight out of the box and they both confuse Windows about what driver should be loaded.  Both boards power up on USB plug in and both show a rapidly flashing (5Hz) blue LED near the USB port and the Segger logo.

I have tried manually pointing windows to the drivers as described in this post.  That yields the error code 10 in Device Manager, "This device could not start."

https://www.silabs.com/community/software/simplicity-studio/forum.topic.html/j-link_ob_driver-Sxnu

When I run this installer:

C:\SiliconLabs\SimplicityStudio\v4\developer\adapter_packs\installers\Segger_JLink\dpinst_x64.exe

it claims that segger jlink and SEGGER JLinkCDC_X64 devices are ready.

I have also downloaded drivers from Segger, JLink_Windows_V662a.  These seem to be the same ones included with the Simplicity Studio download.

I have Simplicity Studio 4 installed as seemingly running fine, SV4.1.13.2. 

I recently make the mistake of updating Simplicity studio ... Now multi-gigabyte log files are filling my hard disk.  I'm currently debugging a problem which occurs once or twice a day so I *NEED* to fix this issue!

For example in ~/SimplicityStudio_v4/developer/adapter_packs/exx32 I find:

Short of restoring an older version of Simplicity studio from a backup does anyone know how to fix this or disable logging?

The log is full of stuff like this:

Other than filling my hard disk the debugger seems to be working just fine.  

Help!

I am using the EFM8SB2 development board with Simplicity Studio and the Keil compiler. I am working with the EFM8SB2_WakeOnUART example.

I am trying to get he UART to output arrays of bytes as hex strings using the RETARGET_PRINTF function. I can get the bytes to be sent as characters correctly, or decimal numbers. However, when I try to encode the bytes as hex, the come out with two trailing zeros. For example, the array [52, 53, 54, 55] will come out as:

With the encoding "%c " it is as you would expect: 4 5 6 7

With hex encoding "%X" it is 3400 3500 3600 3700. Each Hex pair of bytes is followed by a pair of zero characters, which I do not want. the UART is actually outputting the extra bytes.

Even stranger, with "%u " I get back 13312 13568 13824 14080  

All I really want is to be able to send arrays of bytes out the UART as hex characters as I would normally expect using the "%02X" encoding.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob

I freshly installed simplicity studio. Got it OK.

I wish to make use of it for development work for EFM8SB10 processor.

When I want to add 8051 part to it, there is no device in the device selection.

The product update stop at loading metadata.

I could not add any SDK nor do I find any device or Kit in device list.

I am behind corporate proxy server, I added manual network setting with IP, Port, User Name & Password.

The test website are working ok for network connection.

Please help me resolve the issue to let me start my development work.
