MCUXpresso is based on Eclipse Oxygen and for the most part it seems fine with Darkest Dark, but the Debugger Console view (which normally lets you interact with gdb) breaks completely. I get a bunch of errors like this:

Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: “org.eclipse.ui.console”.

After that it gets some unhandled event loop exceptions like this:

I’m not sure if either of those directly relates to the debugger console, but the errors aren’t there when I try it without the theme active.

Any ideas? I’ve really come to like the Darkest Dark theme but I do need to be able to use that console.

Thanks!

madsci,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue with Darkest Dark. Thank you for sharing the error details.
I see the same errors being logged at my end when I switch to using the Darkest Dark theme and the Debugger Console is just blank.

Do you also see a blank Debugger Console? If you are seeing different results, then please share with us the screenshot of the Debugger Console view to help us get a visual. I have filed a bug for the dev team to look into this problem. We will keep you posted when we have more details about what is breaking the view.

Apologies for inconvenience caused. Thank you once again for reporting it.

Yes, I’m seeing a blank console – it has the ‘terminate’ button but no console text.

madsci,

We are trying to replicate this problem again at our end but unable to.
Can you please share with us the detailed steps right from creating the project to configuring it further to get the blank Debugger Console?

Thank you for your help.

@madsci, It would be great if you can provide step-by-step guide to configure a project and be able to replicate the errors (just displaying the console view did not do the trick). For instance I don’t know where to get the required SDK’s for a project, etc.

We have a DevStyle release coming this week but without proper information today we will not be able to include a fix this time.

Cheers!

My install notes say that last time I set it up, I installed MCUX 10.3.0, Darkest Dark, Eclipse Web Developer Tools, the Overview plugin, and eclox. SDKs are obtained from https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/dashboard (good luck figuring that out in a hurry if you just start at nxp.com), but here’s a ‘hello world’ project for the TWRK21F120: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vlmdths9pf6u0ba/hello_world.zip?dl=0

Not sure if that still requires the SDK installed. If it doesn’t import, let me know and I’ll find the SDK archive.

Thanks,

Scott

Thank you very much! I will give it a try.

@madsci, I imported the project but I’m still unable to create a Debgger Console. It shows No MCU associated. Do you think you can spare a few minutes for a call with us so we can investigate with your setup? Let me know if you have time today and at what time is better for you.

Thanks!
Aaron Lara

[madsci]

I’m likely to be busy until late tonight. Might be able to do a call tomorrow sometime. You can reach me directly at scott@*removed* and I can try to find time to set something up.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,

Thank you very much for your help on solving this issue over GoToMeeting! You will be happy to know we went ahead and fixed a couple more places where we noticed weird coloring (Import SDK dialog, for instance had an unreadable blue foreground in a tree). You can do help > check for updates to update your DevStyle and bring over those fixes as well :).

Cheers!
Aaron Lara
