Known issues and limitations

Known issues and limitations#

  • General

    • Cut, Paste, and Delete commands may not work properly when selected from the Edit menu.

    • The Select all button inside “Find dialog” does not work in the Code Preview view (Eclipse limitation).

    • The ‘Find dialog’ in the Code Preview view searches only in the tab where it was opened. [MCUXCON-11341]

    • [Safari] The Web version of the tool might freeze when using the Safari browser. Recommended workaround: Use another browser or the desktop version.

    • [MacOS] Some of the main tool menu items are shown in English even if the locale is set to Chinese.

    • [MacOS, Windows] The “Always Overwrite Files Without Asking” option does not work, a dialog asking for overwriting files appears even if the option is on. [MCUXCON-7813, MCUXCON-9274]

    • After switching to the Dark theme, the view does not use Dark colors. Usually, one or more restarts of the application fix the issue permanently.

    • Color theme might not work correctly when a different one is selected in the operating system (for example, Light vs Dark).

    • HTML documentation. Search and Contents menus do not work in Firefox version 68 and later. The workaround is to use a different browser or to set privacy.file_unique_origin=false in Firefox about:config page, then restart the browser.

    • Problems with setting up a project link may occur if the toolchain project and the .mex file are on different disk drives. Recommended workaround: Use the same disk drive for the toolchain project and the .mex file. [MCUXCON-13267]

    • Sources marked for deletion in the Update Code dialog are not automatically removed in SDK West projects only. Recommended workaround: Manually delete the files from the disk and from the build or update code without showing the Update Code dialog that removes the files. [MCUXCON-14605]

  • Creation of projects from the SDK package (see File | New)

    • Creation of a project based on SDK for multicore examples with TrustZone is not supported, only examples with a maximum of two projects can be cloned.

    • Standalone multicore applications created for Keil or the ArmGcc toolchain could not be built due to an incorrect link between different build configurations, such as flexspi_nor_debug in the first and debug in the second.

  • Pins tool

    • Tooltips in the Target processor view and drop-down menus are not supported in the web version.

    • The Package view blinks in the web version.

    • [Ubuntu] Horizontal scrollbars in the Peripheral and Pins view and in the Routed pins table are missing on some Linux systems.

  • Clocks tool

    • When multiple outputs have frequency locks and an error is found, the error is reported for all the locks that are fed from the same clock source.

  • Peripherals tool

    • Pins and Clocks tool must be enabled if the Peripherals tool is used, otherwise some configuration components have limited functionality.

    • Only certain drivers and processors are supported. See the MCUXpresso Config Tools webpage for more details.

    • When the core of a functional group on a multicore MCU is changed, the component instance might get a conflicting automatic name and report an error. This issue can be solved by using the “Resolve duplicate names errors” action in the Peripherals menu.

    • When the structure is shown by clicking the enabling checkbox and it contains tabs, the selected tab might not render its content. To render it, select one of the other tabs and then select the previous one to render it or use the menu Peripherals -> Refresh. [MCUXCON-11201]

    • The Peripherals tool is enabled for MIMX9596xxxxN MPU but no components are supported now. A subscription will be necessary for purchasing configuration components for this MPU when these components are publicly released.

  • Memory Validation tool

    • Apply to DCD option is available only for processors with Memory validation support.

  • PLU tool

    • The tool is supported only on LPC804, LPC55xx, and some MCXN families.

    • Imported files have to be UTF-8 formatted.

    • Mapping comment does not work with escaped identifiers in the Verilog code.

  • Kinetis specific issues:

    • UART/FTM modulation functionality is covered by not clear special signals of the System Integration Module.

    • [MKM34] Potential errors in the Route to selection are not correct for multipath connections.

  • Desktop installer:

    • The tool will not work when the installation path contains the following characters “!@#$%^&”. It is a Java limitation and the mentioned characters are invalid for Java

    • [Ubuntu/Debian] For reinstalling the tool using dpkg, first uninstall the tool and then install again.
