Project Creator 2.0 (BSP) has a problem with the firewall

[NXTY_Tatebayasi]

Dear Community,

Please give me some advice on my problem.

Project Creator 2.0 (BSP) has a problem with the firewall, the Source Template is blank. As the picture show bellow Fig1-2. 

I understand Modus tool Box version 3.0 has an option to run in offline mode, and I need install the Offline development package(KBA236233 ).

On the other hand, I also understand that in version 2.x there is a way around this problem in the proxy settings.

So,I have two quesutions.

1. Will version 3.0 implement a way to work around firewall issues with proxy settings?

2. Is there any solution other than offline mode to solve this problem?

Hello,

The Project Creator and Library Manager tools have a Settings menu with an option to set the Proxy. That should resolve the issue.

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

I tried Proxy server settings and switched manual mode.

But, the probrem still occurs, I can now only launch BPS in offline mode.

We checked the proxy and there was no problem with the hostname and port id.

I consider that entering BPS offline mode requires the PC to be in airplane mode or offline.
Is this correct?

Please let me know if there is anything I should try other than offline mode.

Hello,

If you can open this URL in a web browser, then you should be able to set the proxy setting to Direct: https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-super-manifest/blob/v2.X/mtb-super-manifest-fv2.xml

If not, you need to set the proxy value as appropriate. Another option is to use HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. If those aren't working, then here's an article about connectivity problems: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-github/troubleshooting-connectivity-problems

If you want to use offline content, please read section 6.3 in the user guide: https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-ModusToolbox_3.0_Tools_Package_User_Guide-GettingStarted-v13_...

If you are using ModusToolbox version 2.4, please make sure you have installed the patch https://softwaretools.infineon.com/tools/com.ifx.tb.tool.modustoolboxpatch24

In Project Creator or Library Manager, when you switch to Offline mode, you should see a message like this:

Getting manifests from offline contents...

#################################################################################################### 100%

Hope this helps!

Hello, ChristopherF_51 san

Thank you for your reply and resolving this issue.

I was able to open this link.

However, from BSP2.0, it was not opened when going through.

https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-super-manifest/blob/v2.X/mtb-super-manifest-fv2.xml

I wasn't using ModusToolbox 2.4, but installed it additionally to the patch it.

And,  I was able to install the older version of the BSP(Project Creator 1.41.0.3849).

Since I can't use two different BSP versions( BSP 2.0 and 1.4 ) while booting ModusToolbox 3.0, I adopted the old version of BSP to use it online.

I referred how to select a different BSP version, that "1.4.4 Specifying alternate tools version" in the ModusToolbox tools  package  user guide( AN29893 ).

Valiable name : CY_TOOLS_PATHS

Valiable value : C:/Users/xxx/ModusToolbox\tools_2.4

This issue was solved by your advice.

Hi,

Try following the link below:
https://community.infineon.com/t5/Code-Examples/ModusToolbox-URL-Modifier/td-p/366015

It should set you free.

Hi,

Thank you for your help and posting the link.

Despite running the command, the problem did not go away.

I understand that I should add the script below,

url "https://ghproxy.com/https://github.com"]
insteadOf = https://github.com　　

Which file can I refer to to confirm that the path has changed?

Regards,

[Charles_Lai]

In Modus-shell, run the command below to add it to ModusToolbox system:

git config --system url."https://ghproxy.com/https://github.com".insteadOf https://github.com

You can use "git config -l" to confirm it.

Hi, Charles_Lai san

Thank you for your reply.
I was able to confirm the following.

$ git config -l
url.https://ghproxy.com/https://github.com.insteadof=https://github.com

However, I was unable to reach the GitHub repository in Direct mode.

Therefore, I think that it is necessary to solve this problem other than the method you taught me.

I will install the MTB version to 2.4 and apply a patch to see if the problem of connecting to GitHub can be resolved.

Hi,

You're using an out-of-date offline package that isn't suitable for MTB 3.0. So it can't provide the 'device-db' content for you.

Did you have to use MTB in offline mode only?

Best regards

[NXTY_Tatebayasi]

Hi, Charles_Lai san

It was as you pointed out.

My confirmation was lacking, MTB3.0 could not create projects with older BSP versions.

So I modified the environment variables to launch BSP 2.0.

Due to my company's firewall, I can only create new projects in offline mode.

However, I have confirmed that BSP2.0 can access the repository without problems in Direct mode on an external network(eg. my home) .

Best regards,

Just as a note, new offline content is out now.
