Annoying that such a small mistake can lead to this issue. Thanks again SEGGER - Johannes for all the help! 🙂

I was missing the space between " and &quot, adding the space results in the GUI popup working! Thank you everyone for your persistence!

henryh Could you double check this & let us know if it works? I also had a space between the " &quot. I tested this quickly by removing the space, saving the tools.xml file, closing my SES project, reopening the project & then trying to open CMSIS Config Wizard. Then, the GUI popup did not appear. When I added the space again, saved the tools.xml file, closed the SES project, reopened the project & opened CMSIS Config Wizard, the GUI popped up.

Thank you SEGGER - Johannes for all of the help. :)

Hi,

You are missing a space between the two parameters.
It should be: java -jar "$(CMSIS_CONFIG_TOOL)" "$(InputPath)&quote;

The project MACRO's are correct. I ran the video again and everything looks good. Java is installed and I have been able to bring up the wizard GUI by invoking the command line from a console window (in Windows 7 Professional). I do not get a GUI window after calling CMSIS configuration manager in SES using the right hand click on the "sdk_config.h" file in the project window. The output window does show the following, which makes me believe it has run but was unable to open a new window:

CMSIS Config
CMSIS Config sdk_config.h
Finished CMSIS Config

Any idea how to resolve this?

You can find the Project Macros, by right clicking on your Project (e.g. Project 'ble_app_blinky_pca10040_s132') in the top left hand corner of SES -> Edit Options ... -> Code tab -> Build tab -> Choosing the Common Configuration -> click on Project Macros.

See the picture below for more info:

In your devzone post, you mention that you have "followed the instructions for installing the CMSIS configuration tool". Did you follow this youtube video?

Sorry for the long break, I was moved to a different project for a while but am now back. I just updated to SES 3.40 today but problem still exists as previously described. Below is my tools.xml file. Looking back to the previous comment by Bjorn Kvaale, where do I find the macro settings?

Hi,

"CMSIS config - completed" indicates that the command has been run.

Could you post your tools.xml and the content of the Output Window from when you change Tasks to Output in the dropdown?

Have you made sure that the project macros for the config wizard jar file are correct (see link)? My path was:

CMSIS_CONFIG_TOOL=../../../../../../external_tools/cmsisconfig/CMSIS_Configuration_Wizard.jar

Java is installed. Running the command line from the modified tools.xml brings up the CMSIS tool window but it does not come up when I run the tool in SES; the was done in the Nordic_Semi directory of the SDK (15.0.0) using a command window. Sounds like a path problem but I have been unable to locate anything wrong in the project parameters.

Are you sure that you have installed Java? You can check by writing the command:

java

in a command prompt window. I have heard of a similar situation to yours where the solution was to install java.

I provided incorrect information in my post. The CMSIS configuration tool does not come up in the examples either; each time I try to open it I get the following in the output window but no GUI to make changes.

CMSIS config - completed

Finished CMSIS config - completed

I finished testing this by taking a copy of the ble_app_blinky example located in sdk15/examples/ble_peripheral/ & renaming it. Then, I deleted all of the pca folders that I didn't need inside the renamed folder. The only files left for me were pca10040, ble_app_blinky.eww & the main.c file. Inside pca10040/s132/, I then deleted all of the folders except for config & ses. Lastly, I opened up the ble_app_blinky_pca10040_s132 EMPROJECT file & the CMSIS manager still worked.

I just used the ble_app_blinky example as an example, but you can base your code upon whichever Nordic example works best for you, make a copy of the example folder & then make changes to the code.

I am not sure if this is a satisfactory answer regarding you wanting to use a "custom project directory", but at least this way you can make all the changes you want to the example code & still use CMSIS.

These two links were useful for setting up the CMSIS wizard (link 1, link 2).
