Hi, I’m running into an issue trying to build with the latest BSP for WEC2013 (1.4b2). Firstly, I ran this build error:

_filesys.dll C:\Users\zach.hannum\Documents\E371_SVN\software\control_module\trunk_maybe_branch\os\IMX6_Core2013\RelDir\TORADEXIMX6BIN_ARMV7_Release\_filesys.dll NK SHK

So I noticed the line _filesys.dll $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\_filesys.dll NK SHK in platform.bib. I modified this line to be filesys.dll $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\filesys.dll NK SHK. Now, build outputs this:

I’m assuming using the underscore with filesys.dll and using registry.fdf are a part of the speed optimizations, but what exactly is going on here? Is there a fix? Thank you in advance!

By the way, I get these same errors with the provided IMX6 pbxml project (1.4b2), BSP, the latest Windows Embedded Compact 2013 updates from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42027

Hi,

I found the issue and we will fix it in next release.
For now please rename file

TORADEXIMX6-preri.bat

to

TORADEXIMX6BIN-preri.bat

The OS now builds, but fails in the bootloader. This is the output while booting:

I just tested this and it works OK for me. Do you maybe have config block changes? What is your bootloader version? Do you do any changes to OS design?

In the 1.4b2 release we changed the way drivers are loaded at boot, to reduce boot time. You can find more information about this here:

If you did not update platform.reg in your or design this may not work.
