Has support for IoT_Expert examples in ModusToolbox been dropped?

[GrCa_1363456]

After a fresh install of ModusToolbox 3, I attempted to create every application for CY8CPROTO-062-4343W.

All applications that start with "IoT_Expert_", produced an "ERROR:Failed to create and export"

The end of the console report after running the "Create" is as follows.

...

In general, the IOT_Expert_ examples continue to be supported in the version of ModusToolbox for which they were created. They should work with version 2.3 or 2.4, for example. I am not that familiar with them.

So, I would not say support was "dropped" so much as there were a bunch of changes in ModusToolbox 3.0 tools and infrastructure, but the IOT_Expert_ examples were not updated to accommodate those changes.

It might be possible to convert those examples to 3.0 format, but as I mentioned I am not that familiar with them.

Here's the KBA about it: https://community.infineon.com/t5/Knowledge-Base-Articles/Migrating-ModusToolbox-applications-from-v...

However, as I am sure you have discovered by now, the default example applications for the CY8CPROTO-062-4343W BSP work out of the box. It might be a more productive experience using those examples and modifying the source code as appropriate to achieve the desired results.

Good luck!
