I can't seem to interact with the Radio Configuration tab of the AppBuilder in Simplicity Studio SV4.1.13.4.

I opened two example codes, Simple RAIL without HAL and Simple RAIL with HAL, to try and flash an example application to an evaluation board. However, I can't seem to interact with the Radio Configuration tab of the AppBuilder at all. Interestingly enough, I can interact with all the other tabs and global buttons of the AppBuilder without issue.

Also, I noticed that generating a configuration by clicking Generate in the AppBuilder does not result in the generation of rail_config.c/h files. 

Attempted Solutions:

1) Using more than one example project

2) Uninstalling old versions of Simplicity Studio

3) Reinstalling Simplicity Studio SV4.1.13.4

 

I'm not sure what could be the issue. This was not happening the first time I opened the Simplicity Studio software. Everything actually worked just fine the first time I attempted to create a project (Simple RAIL without HAL example). All following projects have shown this issue, though. 

Hi,

The latest update for Flex to update from 2.7.2 to 2.7.3 does not start after I click Update and accept the license.

So the next time I start Simplicity Studio I get a notice about the update again.

Hi all,

I wanted to try Simplicity Studio on debian linux, but I ran into multiple problems while trying to install its dependencies.

The most serious is that it depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0.  This package has been removed from debian about 2 years ago because hasn't been maintained in many years and as a result has over 100 known security vulnerabilities.  I've tried starting Simplicity Studio without it and it will not work at all without it: no GUI appears after the splash screen, it just sits and does nothing rather than reporting an error and exiting (this is an annoying habit java applications seem to have). Running it with strace shows the first problem encountered is that it tries (and fails) to load libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0, and nothing more happens after that.

Some other issues I've identified among the dependencies that setup.sh wants to install:

• They include both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries from three different GUI toolkits (gtk2, qt4, qt5).  That's in total 6 GUI toolkits it seems to want to install (7 if you include SDL), which seems extremely excessive.  Moreover, qt4 is no longer packaged by debian.
• There are a few pre-multiarch packages that install 32-bit libraries into the non-standard location /lib32 (instead of /lib/i386-linux-gnu):
  • libc6-i386 => should be replaced by libc6:i386
  • lib32z1 => should be replaced by zlib1g:i386
  • lib32ncurses5 => no longer exists (since debian buster), should be replaced by libncurses5:i386
• There are two development packages, which are inappropriate to use as runtime dependencies for an application:
  • libgles2-mesa-dev:i386  (only appropriate when compiling 32-bit OpenGL ES 2 applications)
  • qtbase5-dev:i386  (only appropriate when compiling 32-bit Qt5 applications)
• They include a java runtime environment (openjdk-8-jre) even though Simplicity Studio uses a bundled JRE.
• Several packages are typically used for games and seem very odd to be needed by an IDE:
  • libopenal1  ("for playing audio in a virtual 3D environment")
  • libphysfs1  ("filesystem abstraction library for game programmers")
  • libsdl1.2debian
  • libsdl-image1.2

I know there are two ways to add post-build script.

1:write script directly in IDE .like this picture

2:write Makefile.targets

all: $(PRN).axf post-build
.NOTPARALLEL:
 
post-build:
	-@echo 'PRN =' $(PRN)
	-"C:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe" ..\\rename_get_version.py;
	-"C:\GCC\gcc\bin\g++.exe" ..\\get_version.c;
	-a.exe ${PRN};
	-"C:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe" ..\\revertname_get_version.py

 

BUT! the same project .It spend about 40s by the first way .

spend 1min 42s(102s) by the second way.  spend more 60s than the first way

so why?

Hi,

I just wanted to look at the CPACR and was quite confused that I could not find it. Yes, I can add "(SCB_Type*)0xE000ED00" in the expressions view, but I'm not a big fan of that, because the registers view is much more eye friendly. This is why I added the missing register myself (see attachment). Of course, these changes may get lost with the next update. So, is there any chance that you (SiLabs) add the missing register as well?

Thanks,

Rene

When I try to create a new project, where I need to choose project name and the location at the project configuration it's always show me the same error:  "The path is not absolute."  , so I can't click next.

I have try to change the location, and to reinstall the software, bus it not solved the problem.

There is anything else to solve it?

Thanks.

Hi All,

I am puzzled by the behaviour of breakpoints in Simplicity Studio.

I am setting breakpoints in my code but they are not being hit. I am trying to catch interrupts and the steps in communication, particularly UART and SMBUS.

I can't seem to be able to delete breakpoints. I can only disable them. Sometimes I try to disable them and they come back and stop the code unnecessarily.

Is there a command that continues execution after a breakpoint until the next breakpoint is hit. I click resume (or push F8) and the code starts and never stops again regardless of breakpoints.

Is this normal for Simplicity Studio. If not, how do I get it to work?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

I want to buy a C8051F500DK development kit, but the kit does not contain CD-ROM, and my development environment cannot be connected to the Internet. Do you have a stand-alone (non connected) software support for C8051F500DK?

Hi All,

I am using Simplicity Studio with the EFM8SB2 Sleepy Bee development board.

Is there a means of getting debug messages, say when an interrupt is fired? I have been trying to send messages out of the UART but it is comparatively slow and the messages are garbled. I have looked for a function to log messages but can't find anything. If it doesn't exist I can stop looking.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Simplicity Studio does not detect the debug adapter (tried more versions, but also latest update does not work (SV4.1.13.3))

MacOS, however, shows the device, and even Commander can connect to it. Moreover, the serial port is there. And also the USB monitor of Simplicity Studio (adapter_packs/usb/usb_monitor) shows that a device has been plugged in.

The issues does seem to be related to Simplicity Studio itself. 

We have also tried the workaround proposed here, but that did not help:

Does anybody know how to fix that?

 

Thanks a lot!

 

 

I am using Simplicity Studio 4 and have inherited a project with 100-150 source files, distributed among dozens of directories and sub-directories going down 4-5 levels deep. If there is a logic to this distribution, I haven't figured it out yet.  I noticed that the structure matches the directory structure of my working copy on disk, and when I have to find a particular file I leave Simplicity Studio and locate it with Windows tools. Then I go back to Simplicity Studio and open it.

I am getting tired of this back and forth.  Is there an easy way to get Simplicity Studio to show me where a file is located if I know its name?  How about if I know only the name of a function inside the file?

Hope somebody has mastered this.  Thanks.

Hello,

In the Launcher perspective of Simplicity Studio if I select the  'Documentation' tab I do not see anything listed in the column 'All Documents'.  I have a Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard with xGM210P032 Wireless Gecko Radio Board connected and these are visible in the list of Debug Adapters.  I am under the impression that there should be a collection of documentation visible that is relevant to the WSTK and Radio board.  However, that is not the case.  I have not been able to find and install any packages that might contain the missing documentation.

Could you suggest how I might fix that?  I have installed installed Simplicity Studio version SV4.1.13.4 on a Windows 10 Pro machine.  My colleague also installed Simplicity Studio and was not able to get the documentation to appear.

Thank you.

After the latest update from simplicity studio, the examples, including the blinking example for micrium, no longer compile. Creating an example again does not work; diverse include files are no longer found.

Manually changing the paths from 2.5 to 2.7 brings an improvement, but now e.g. "sl_sleeptimer.h" no longer found.

How can we proceed?

 

Best regards

Ralf
