Hi all
I am evaluating 7-days license for Keil-MDK Pro for Kinetis. I have a TWR-K60F120M tower Kit and I was trying to set up a USB CDC device on that board, with a simple echo program.
But when I try to select Software Components, I add USB Core and then USB Device set to 1, I receive an error saying "require 2.00:CMSIS Driver:USB Device".
But there is not such Driver available! The list of CMSIS Drivers available is just Ethernet, Ethernet PHY, Flash, NAND and USART. By the way, similar problem when I add File System based on Memory Card: SPI and MCI Drivers are missing. And for Ethernet, SPI
Does this mean that if I pay the more than 7000 euros of full license, I can't use this components? MDK-pro version is supposed to include some middleware like USB, Network, FileSystem and Graphics, but..... it seems some of them are not really usable!
I was hoping the forum thread 3707 "MDK MIDDLEWARE: How to resolve a missing CMSIS-Driver" could be updated with a recent list of microcontroller families which have had CMSIS drivers added. Also, I would love to understand the future of CMSIS drivers. Are we all as a community on the hook to develop CMSIS drivers as the silicon vendors are all pouring efforts into their own 'free' IDE environments to lock users into their tools and chips? Is ARM going to invest in developers to flesh out the CMSIS drivers for thousands of targets so that MDK 5 can enable the folks who pay real money for a professional tool suite to be productive?
I am still using Legacy pack, and RTX from 4.77 because I simply can't take the time to digest and port all the detailed driver abstraction needed for every controller project.
It seems like we have a problem here, and it may take a "Real" community and discussion to clear it up. Either that, or I am a complete twit, Which I am willing to believe.
