A new version of the PEx template is available for testing.

It is using the PEx 10.4 new wizard invocation method. Please be sure you select 'GNU C' as toolchain, otherwise the project will not compile with GCC.

As other changes, there were many settings added, both for C and C++ projects.

Special care was considered when enabling the warning checking options (since Freescale code is unfortunately full of warnings, enable 'Check most warnings' and you can see yourself).

Another notable addition was the use of newlib nano.

The tests that I could perform were minimal, with empty projects. Except adding a led to a KL25 project, all other attempts to bring more code failed with various errors and exceptions. I don't know if the problems are related to using the PEx on OS X or rather the general quality of PEx is pretty low (user-friendly is NOT for sure).

Any help in testing the template plug-in will be highly appreciated.

    Unfortunately I do not have a board with me I could try (I have a K64F, but I have not enabled that in stock Kepler and not downloaded the Processor Expert 10.4 yet). But I created a few projects and compiled them, and they look fine to me.
    Multumesc mult!

      not downloaded the Processor Expert 10.4 yet

      please test again when you'll have 10.4, with real projects, to be sure everything is fine.

      as I found out later, PEx is still not functional on OS X, so my tests were minimal.

    I'm sucessfully using the FRDM-KL25Z with PEx 10.4, and it works :-)
