CMSIS Configuration Wizard v0.0.2 Released

[robert.palmer]

So, as another reader indicated, I'm not the only idiot that was trying to figure out what all those comments mean. Maybe something in a FAQ, in a Readme, or wait for it... in the file itself, that says, these comments are for Keil compilers (well, maybe that's now wrong since this tool is available). Bottom line is - a little more documentation would certainly be nice.

I downloaded 0.0.6 and installed Java on my WinXP SP 2 machine, but I get an exception when I try to run it. If I copy the JAR file to my Mac, it runs fine. I installed Java 7.5 from Java.com

Hi Robert,

What exception do you get when you try to run the program on XP?

Could you try running the program from the command line and pasting the output here? To run it, simply open a command prompt and type the following:

java -jar "Path_To_Jar"

Replace Path_To_Jar with the path to the CMSIS jar file (simply drag the jar file over the command window to let Windows fill that in for you). For example:

java -jar "C:\CMSIS_Configuration_Wizard.har"

Many thanks for this tool.

I add my vote to the Eclipse plugin suggestion.

Great tool!
+1 for the Eclipse plugin.

Well, it took a while, but I'm back to this. I tried the 'java -jar "path to jar"' and it launches successfully, however, if I double click the .jar file and select to open it with Java, it fails. I'm guessing the issue is the '-jar' parameter. How about including a "launcher command file" that will allow you to double click launch it.

If I attempt to run it from the command line like it is double clicked e.g. "path/file.jar" it returns with:

Error: Could not find or load main class C:\Program Files\CMSISConfigWizard\CMSIS_Configuration_Wizard .jar

So it's trying to load a class file (the default if you don't have -jar on the command line) instead of loading a .jar file. I can launch it from the command line, but I can't figure out how to launch it by double clicking

Hi Robert,

You could easily create a "launcher" by writing a simple bat file with the same command you used to launch the program from the command line.

However, the fact that you are unable to launch the program by double clicking is more likely an issue with your installation of Java rather than being a problem with the program. I've found the following links after doing a google search for "windows double click jar". They might be useful.

Interestingly, on the first link you provided, it said one of the fixes was to install the JRE again. Well, I had JUST installed it for the first time on this WinXP installation, but I figured, I'll try the fix application anyway. That did it - fixed it and now I can double click to make it work.

Thanks for your help.

Great Work!

I also would vote for having this packages as an Eclipse plugin...
