June 2023 Release Issues

[ConWalsh]

Hello!

SDK was updated to the latest version (June 23 release) and a number of issues were encountered:

1. No File -> New -> Maxim Microcontrollers. in Eclipse anymore.
   

2. New build errors for previously building projects. It looks like some Source/Include folders were removed in Libraries/Boards/MAX_XXXXX that contained high level board code such as pb.c/.h for pushbuttons and led.c/.h for LEDs.
   

Code builds fine once references to these files is removed. Workaround is just to reimplement these functions.

Thanks

Following these steps I was able to rectify the first problem.

Thanks @ConWalsh

1. I can replicate this. Reinstalling the Eclipse Plugin component gets the wizard to show up again, but not in the right spot. I pinged the team to look into this asap.

2. As of MiscDrivers: Update all boards to use PB, LED, and stdio source files in MiscDrivers. #587 these files have been consolidated to the Libraries/MiscDrivers folder.

   To resolve the build error above, update IPATH and VPATH to load the files from the new location inside your board.mk file. Ex:

# Locate MiscDrivers directory
MISC_DRIVERS_DIR ?= $(MAXIM_PATH)/Libraries/MiscDrivers

# Add MiscDrivers folders to search for source files
VPATH += $(MISC_DRIVERS_DIR)/PushButton

# Add MiscDrivers folder to search for header files
IPATH += $(MISC_DRIVERS_DIR)/PushButton

I've just updated our release notes to highlight this change under "Driver Files for Board Support Packages Move".

@Jacob-Scheiffler we should consider adding passthrough files to avoid breaking existing BSPs. I missed this in my review.

Thanks @Jake-Carter , missed that note.

[Jake-Carter]

@ConWalsh you didn't miss it, I added it to the release notes thanks to your findings. So thanks again for your report!

We just pushed a hotfix for the Eclipse plugin as well.

As of 1.0.4-31 the new project wizard should be fixed as well and visible in the usual spot.
