Error during FVP_MPS2_Cortex-M55 connection

Hi again Ronen,

I've hit this one before... the FVP from your Development Studio install is a different version (11.19.14) to a full Fast Models install you must have.

If you unset MAXCORE_HOME (possibly also MAXVIEW_HOME) does that fix the issue?

Ronan

Hi Ronan,

I've renamed these two variables into _MAXCORE_HOME and _MAXVIEW_HOME.
I've closed the DS and re-opened however it didn't help so far. The same issue still appears.

Ronen

Can you also rename PVLIB_HOME?

Sorry, I hit this a long time ago... I don't remember exactly how I fixed it :)

Hi Ronan,

I've renamed PVLIB_HOME into _PVLIB_HOME, exit the DS and restarted but still same error arrived when trying to establish the FVP connection.

I really found an old reply of you to a very same issue. Pls see the below link:
error encountered when try to connect FVP

Thanks,
Ronen

That was an actual issue in the installer of that version.

It may be extreme, but could you rename the Fast Model install folder? I don't think it is on the path, but the issue is (almost!) definitely related to the FVP and Fast Models install mismatch.

Or do you have the standalone FVP library installed?

Hi Ronan,

Can you pls let me know where is the "Fast Model install folder" located?
Is it "C:\Program Files\Arm\Development Studio 2022.2\bin" ?

Thanks,
Ronen

Hi Ronan,

How can i verify that? maybe i have it. I can't really remember.
During my evaluation period i tried lots of things.

Thanks,
Ronen

Hi Ronan,

Yes, i've the standalone FVP library installed under "C:\Program Files\Arm\FVP_ARM_Std_Library"
Should i remove it?

I actually have the following installed as well:

FastModelsPortfolio_11.20

FastModelsTools_11.20

FVP_ARM_Std_Library

FVP_Corstone_SSE-300

Thanks,
Ronen

You can just rename the folder (xFVP_ARM_Std_Library).. I now see on my laptop that is how I fixed it :)

If you have a full Fast Models install, it would be at the location that MAXVIEW_HOME pointed to.

Hi Ronan,

I've completely uninstall all other related Arm components and left only with the Arm DS installed on my PC.
Still the result is the same - error on connecting to the FVP.

Any other idea from your side?

Thanks,
Ronen

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:
https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/download-flexnet-publisher

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
