Error during FVP_MPS2_Cortex-M55 connection

Hi again Ronen,

I notice now that there are two errors... the incompatibility of plugin versions, but also a license error:

Error: license error: License checkout for feature ds_suite_rowan with version 0.0202209 has been denied by FlexDynamic back-end. Error code: -83
Version of vendor daemon is too old.

Is your DS license on the server specified in that license path, or is it local? This is picked up by two environment variables, ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE, as well as the FlexNet original LMD_LICENSE_FILE. It may be that this is used for other tools you use. I see from the license path, that this is checked before what appears to be your DS license.

As for the plugin error, can you run the FVP from the command line (find FVP_MPS2_Cortex-M55.exe in your DS bin directory). Do you still get errors?

Hi Ronan,

Appreciating your help a lot.

>> Is your DS license on the server specified in that license path, or is it local?
If you are referring to:
"License path:  C:\Users\Rwinogra\AppData\Roaming\arm\ds\licenses\*.lic;12200@misc-ip-sjc.synaptics.com;c:\program files\arm\licenses\license.dat;"

Then only 12200@misc-ip-sjc.synaptics.com; is valid from my point of view, the two others are not exist at my PC (so i guess the answer is Remote and not local).

Here are the only two environment variables i have regarding of ARM:

As you can see "LMD_LICENSE_FILE" is not there but instead i have "ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE"

>>It may be that this is used for other tools you use
I'm not using any other ARM tools

>> Do you still get errors?
Yes, the result is just the same, pls see below snapshot:

Thanks,
Ronen

Hi Ronen,

Is the license issue only with the FVP? Do you have compiler issues too?

Could you try the following from the command line:

set FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS=3
armclang ==version

What does it report?

Is the license server is indeed out of date, you will need to ask your license admins to update to the latest version of the license server software:

Hi Ronan,

Correct the issue is only with the FVP. I have no compilation issues.

Here is the output for command line attempt:

Will ask our admin for updating the license server sw.

Thanks,

Ronen

See the comment at the top of the prompt - you need to first run `select_toolchain` to set up the compiler within this prompt.

You are right, i didn't notice that.
Here you go:

What is the correct option for the Cortex-M55,AArch64 or AArch32?

OK, its taking the license from the server. Please ask your admin team up upgrade.

You would use "--target=arm-arm-none-eabi -mcpu=cortex-m55". You will see these in your DS project properties (Build Settings)

Hi Ronan,

My admin did an upgrade for the license server software and now it is all working.
Many thanks for your great help.

Thanks and cheers!
Ronen

Awesome - thanks for confirming... sorry it took so long to resolve.
