EDIT: changed topic to reflect that this issue apparently also affects some Ubuntu users, see replies by Z Wheeler below.

I've tried to use Simplicity Studio on my laptop running debian sid, as well as inside the debian stretch (9) container I've made for Simplicity Studio v4 (which doesn't work in later releases).  All packages listed in setup.sh exist in both releases (except "wine32" should be "wine32:i386", even on Ubuntu) and I've installed them in both environments.  The debian stretch container also has all the packages that were needed to get Simplicity Studio v4 working.  In both environments I run into essentially the same roadblock.

After the splash screen, the workspace window looks normal (albeit barren, but this is expected with no tools installed yet).  On top of this I get a modal dialog box which is completely empty.  This is accompanied by the following log message:

(Simplicity Studio™:864269): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:49:10.381: Negative content width -12 (allocation 1, extents 6x7) while allocating gadget (node separator, owner GtkSeparatorToolItem)

I've tried resizing the dialog box to see if that would convince it to render any content, but it does not.  After dismissing the empty dialog box using the escape key the behaviour differs between debian sid and stretch.  On sid I get the following log messages and Simplicity Studio exits:

On stretch I get the following log messages and Simplicity Studio continues to run:

The resulting environment is mostly useless however since no tools are installed.  Clicking the Install button results in a normal-looking progress dialog while it's checking for installation options, but then it again shows an empty dialog box.  Dismissing this one using escape results in the following log messages:

Exception in thread "pool-8-thread-2" java.lang.NullPointerException

Here's an inventory of some actions I've tried and their results:

• File menu -> only has Exit and Switch Workspace
• Help menu -> License Manager:  empty dialog box
• Help menu -> Show Active Keybindings:  works normally
• Help menu -> Update Software:  empty dialog box
• Help menu -> About Simplicity Studio:  does nothing
• Welcome button:  does nothing
• Tools button:  works normally
• Tools button -> Add/Remove Tools:  empty dialog box
• Install button:  empty dialog box
• Preferences button:  works normally
• Log in button -> Log in:  does nothing
• Log in button -> Change user:  does nothing

Is there a way to just download the Gecko SDK directly?  I think that's the only part of Simplicity Studio that I currently use anyway since I really don't like using Eclipse, so I build from the commandline and use openocd+gdb for debugging.

How to write delay function in simplicity studio using assembly it C language. I am using version4 simplicity studio

I got the error below when trying to program one of my dev boards, I have other boards that works fine.
How can I fix that error?

Device
  Board Name: Thunderboard EFR32BG22
  MCU Name: EFR32BG22C224F512IM40
Error while reading 64 bytes from 0x00015fc0 Could not get MCU info, some functions may not function properly.
Adapter
  Name: J-Link Silicon Labs (440167694)

-----
Update 1:
I clicked on "Unlock Debug" and now I can re-program the board with other projects.
For test I'm programming the Demo project "Bluetooth - SoC Thunderboard EFR32BG22 (BRD4184A)" but the board doesn't came up on "EFR Connect" app

-----
Update 2:
After performing a full-erase on the chip and then re-programming the desired software I had to wait about 10~15 seconds to be able to see the BT show up on the "EFR Connect", after BT detected for the 1st it detects on next tries within 1 second.

Dear all,

 

When I open a C example code (blinking) for MCU C8051F38x from simplicity studio and compile this example code I have no error and it compile correctly.

I wanted to add U8 and U16 variable in this C example code and I got error C129

I think that the compiler don't know what is U8 and U16...

But in some other C code that I created long time ago, I know that all my C code compiled with U8 and U16 var.

I will try to describe my problem with a example, I will use the blinking example C code provided by simplicity studio for MCU C8051F38x :

When I create a new blinking example C code, and, I change nothing, it compile correctly.

After, I add variable "U8 tmp = 5;" for example, I try to compile and I got compilation error.

When I replace "U8 tmp = 5;" by "uint8_t tmp = 5;", I try to compile and it compile correctly.

When I want to add for example variable "U16 tmp = 10;" I have compilation error too.

What can be the problem ?

Why U8 and U16 is an error for this C compiler ?

Is U8 and uint8_t same/equivalent ?

Hi All,

I'm working on a BGAPI UART-DFU-Botloader project. I'm using Hardware configurator to edit the custom_efr32xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.hwconf file, using another .hwconf file as a reference.

In the reference file, I have a line as given below, which I'm not able to replicate in my .hwconf file.

<property object="PF0" propertyId="ABPeripheral.included" value="true"/>

Please guide me on how to add the above property to the custom_efr32xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.hwconf using the Hardware Configurator.

Thanks,

Vaishnavi

I'm using Simplicity studio 5 . and I use "installation manager/install by connecting devices" to get tool which I want。 My SDK is EFR32xG22 2.4 GHz 6 dBm RB, WSTK Mainboard , system is win10 64bit  .  when I started installation, it worked for a few minutes ,then it stopped at "Installing com.silabs.sdk.gecko_platform.v3.1.feature.feature.group" and can't continue. why?

Hi,

I've designed a custom PCB using the EFM32TG11 processor.

I'm able to flash the processor with the "Micrium OS Blink" example and it works correctly. However I would like to use the pin tool in order to define the peripherals that I'm using for each of the pins.

If I convert the project to a Configurable Project (slcp) then I can access the pin tool, but the project no longer builds (even if I dont change anything).

I've read through the user guides (Start a Project - v1.0 - Simplicity Studio API Documentation Silicon Labs (silabs.com)) and the pictures seem to suggest that creating a new project should produce a .slcp file (without needing to convert the project to a configurable project), but this isn't what happens for me when I follow the instructions.

What is the correct workflow to generate a new Micrium OS project for custom hardware?

I'm using energy profiler at simplicity studio 4 .but it work bad. It is easy to hang up and can't be resume. when it is hang up ,I can't close simplicty studio 4 too. I must use task-manager of win 10 to close simplicty studio 4 . only I close simplicty studio 4 and open it , and open energy profiler, energy profiler can be use again. what reason?

Hi,

We're running CI builds based on "AN1121: Headless Builds with Simplicity Studio v4" like below.

/SiliconLabs/SimplicityStudio/v4/developer/scripting/runScript.sh -data /Users/userA/SimplicityStudio/v4_workspace /Users/userA/MyProject/BuildExistingProject_v2.py MyProject

Is there any way to pass chosen defined-symbols to C compiler on CLI when using BuildExistingProject_v2.py so that CI can automatically build 2 flavors with OPTION1=1 (w/ sequence A) and not (w/ sequence B) with the C code like below?  

#if OPTION1
// Run sequence A
#else
// Run sequence B
#endif

I know symbols can be defined for C compiler on Simplicity Studio GUI , but I want to know how to pass defined symbols dynamically for every single headless build (probably with "-D" option).

Using Simplicity Studio SV4.1.13.9

I'd like to use a Workspace relative path in "Other objects"

"./BL652/autorun.o" doesn't work.

${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/BL652/autorun.o} fails at the link stage with:

arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe: error: D:DocumentsProductsForceDecksFDV2FirmwareWorkingFDV2BL652autorun.o: No such file or directory

Hi All,

I have a task in which I need to

1. create a project

2. replace few files so that the code matches the original code (but .cproject file of the projects is different)

3. build the project to generate .s37

But when a file comparison is done on the resultant .s37 binary with the original .s37 binary, both are not same.

Is this expected behavior, if so, will this affect the functionality of the resultant binary?

Thanks a lot,

Vaishnavi

Hello,

I would like the Simplicity Studio 5 IDE to show the current changes compared to the code committed in git (within the same branch). After doing some quick search I found this link:
https://www.systutorials.com/how-to-make-eclipse-to-highlight-changed-lines-compared-to-git-commit/

However, under "Use this reference source" I could only find "Version on disk" as the available option. Do you know what I need to do so "A Git Revision" can be selected instead?

For version control, I currently navigate to the project folder and Git Bash there to manage the changes.

Thank you all in advance for helping!

 

When I installed Simplicity Studio, I successfully logged in for the first time, but the software prompted me to log in again, otherwise I would not have permission to access the SDK. But the login interface can't come out, just like the following, what's the matter? I installed it in a virtual machine.There is no problem with the network and you can go online.No anti-virus software installed. The firewall is also turned off.
