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 the 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 dialogue asking for overwriting files appears even if the option is on. [MCUXCON-7813, MCUXCON-9274]

    • After switching to the Dark theme, the view is not using 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.

  • Pins tool

    • It can happen that when a cell is edited in the Routing Details view, another cell is incorrectly updated. The workaround is to put the edited routing at the end of the table in Routing Details. The affected MPUs are MIMX 8UX, MIMX 8QX, MIMX 8DX, MIMX 8QM, MIMX 8SL, MIMX 8DL, MIMX 8QM.

    • 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 the Routed pins table are missing on some Linux systems.

  • Pins tool for i.MX

    • Import pins configuration from the Processor Expert Project (.pe) does not correctly import all values of SPEED and DSE bit fields for i.MX legacy devices - 6DQ, 6SDL, and 6SL. There is an invalid value reported after the import operation is finished.

    • Import operation of large pins configuration from existing source files over existing opened configuration (>10 functions) might remarkably affect the tool performance and cause display of potentially incorrect pins configuration content within the tool UI views. Workaround: Recommended performing import from sources into a clean (empty) configuration to avoid performance penalties and potential UI content issues.

      Workaround: It is recommended to perform import from sources into a clean (empty) configuration to avoid performance penalties and potential UI content issues.

  • Peripherals tool

    • 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.

  • DDR tool

    • The DDR tool is not supported on macOS.

    • Optimization scenario (odt and drv) does not sweep the configuration when a user imports the RPA script.

  • SerDes tool

    • The SerDes tool is not supported on Linux and macOS.

    • When multiple tests are selected, only the last result is registered.

  • Installer:

    • The tool does 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.
