Compiling issue with HFCLK1

[SaGa_4641021]

Hi

I have a recurrent problem that happens randomly with PSoC Creator 4.4, and happens with several project (I attached one of them for reference).

A project is compiling and working normally, then after closing the project and opening again, it throws an error as shown:

and no matter that I do to the clock configuration, I can't make it work again, and I have to create a new project and copy all files to the new blank project.

I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I failed to identify it.

Any clue ?

thanks a lot

You have to enable the HFCLK1 in the "Configure System Clocks" window, High Frequency Clocks Tab.

Hi Rodolf, yes I did, I followed all the errors and still it doesn't compile.

The last error i get is this:

so I tried removing and adding the clocks in the PDL window, but this didn't help.

This problem happens when I save-as the project or change its name.

Rather than using the low level cy_mxs40_i2s component, can you use the I2S component directly? If you don't need the APIs generated by the component, you can disable it by double clicking on the component, Built-in tab, check Suppress API Generation box.

[SaGa_4641021]

I am  using the I2S component (I2S_PDL_v2_0) directly from the "TopDesign.cysch" window. I am not sure if this  is what you are referring to or not.

[RodolfoGL]

Oh, I think I know what's your problem. You have enabled the "Clock from terminal" in the I2S component.

If you do that, the only thing you can connect to the "clk_if" is the P5_0 pin. Anything else will cause an error, including HFCLK1.

[SaGa_4641021]

So if I use clock from terminal with the I2S, i have to avoid using P5.0 ?

[RodolfoGL · Accepted solution]

The opposite. If you enable that, you have to use P5.0.

But I see you haven't enable the "Clock from terminal", so it doesn't matter. Can you share the project? It would be easier to see what's going on.

for some reason, after restarting the PSoC Creator and the laptop, this error doesn't show again at this time. I can't replicate it at the moment. I will close this ticket and post again if it occurs. thanks a lot

Hi @RodolfoGL , the same issue occurred again after loading a project that was working.

I attached the project folder. I tried to clean the build with no luck.

My best wishes for a happy new year.

[RodolfoGL]

Happy new year!

The project you attached contains the layout/schematic. No project files.

Hi Rodolf

I attached the project folder again, it is the whole project folder.

There is something wrong with your Design Wide Resources file in the project. 

Try to remove it like this. Right mouse button over the file above, choose "Remove from RespirationMonitor_SD..."

Re-add it by clicking right mouse button over the Project, choose Add > New Item > Design Wide Resource File.

This would fix the "?" interrogation issue above on the Design Wide Resource File.

But the project you shared doesn't configure the Clk_HFCLK1. You need to edit the clock settings. Once you enable the HFCLK1 clock, the compilation error will go away.

[SaGa_4641021]

after re-enabling ClkHF1, this is what I got:

The modified project is attached.

I need to add that ClkHF1 was enabled and the project was working, until I closed the project and loaded again. This pattern (ClkHF1 is removed and the project fails) happens frequently. So far, the around is create a new project project and copy all file.

[RodolfoGL]

I'm able to reproduce the problem.

After following the steps from my previous post (remove it and re-add it), I no longer can reproduce it, so it seems that it is an easy fix in case it occurs again.

I think the root cause of this problem is because you have two CYDWR files in the project.

RespirationMonitor_SDCard_19.cydwr

RespirationMonitor_SDCard_19_RefDsgn.cydwr

Delete the "RespirationMonitor_SDCard_19.cydwr" from the file system (through windows explorer).

[SaGa_4641021]

I am still struggling with it. After I corrected the filenames, I am left with this error:

But, I realized this problem happens only when I rename the project or duplicate with save-as. Usually I right click on the "Project" and choose save-as pr Rename. Then I rename the "Workspace" name as well.

I also check-all the

Am I missing a step 

thanks

Update: I found the problem, was able to reverse it, but don't know how to avoid it:

In the project properties, the "Name" points to .cydwr file which does not match the Project or Workspace names:

The project name (after renaming it) is "RespirationMonitor_SDCard_19_RefDsgn.cyprj"

while the one pointed to is "RespirationMonitor_SDCard_19.cyprj", and it is fixed, I can't change it from the properties window.

Renaming the files manually (in windows explorer) did not fix it, so I "save-as" the project back to the old name "RespirationMonitor_SDCard_19" instead of "RespirationMonitor_SDCard_19_RefDsgn" to match the .cydwr name in the properties window, and it worked.

So I think I am doing something wrong with the save-as or rename steps

Questions:

1. What is the right way to rename or save-as a project ?

2. Also what is the proper way to share projects with others without having to change the settings on their PSoC Creator ?

thanks
