Hi,

I am struggling to configure tasking v6.2r2p4 license for BIFACES.
I adapted Config.xml to select tasking toolset and given tasking binary path in Config_Tasking.mk
Still i am getting below error :

Now Build started !!!
Building source file Ifx_Cfg_SswBmhd.c for Tricore
No valid license found for
Building source file Cpu4_Main.c for Tricore
ctc F104: protection error: No valid license found for
make[1]: *** [1_ToolEnv/0_Build/9_Make/0_Src/AppSw/Tricore/Cfg_Ssw/SubDirectory.mk:61: 2_Out/Tricore_Tasking/Tasking_Files/0_Src/AppSw/Tricore/Cfg_Ssw/Ifx_Cfg_SswBmhd.o] Error 2,

Note : I can use tasking v6.2r2p4 license in other build environment with no problem but don't know how to use it with BIFACES TC3xx.

Kindly Support

Best Regards,
Naresh

Hello Naresh,

please verify if the Windows environment variable named:

TSK_OPTIONS_FILE_SW160800v6_2r2

is set on your PC and if it's set, does it point to the licopt.txt file of the TASKING TrICore tools license you would like to use? The licopt.txt file is typically located in the \etc subdirectory of the TASKING tools installation folder.

If you used the default installation folder of TriCore v6.2r2, the value of that variable should be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\TASKING\TriCore v6.2r2\etc\licopt.txt

You can determine the value e.g. using:

set TSK_OPTIONS_FILE_SW160800v6_2r2

executed in a command prompt window.

Best regards,
Ulrich Kloidt

Maybe there is a link to the path of the license in the other environment which is missing in BIFACES. Check the path to your license and how the compiler check it, maybe a system variable must be set.
