[RESOLVED] RA6M3 FSP Application Example r11an0497 with RA6M3 EK Board (FSP v5.4.0) app_ra6m3_primary Not buildable (Check Python Linkage)

Did you follow the app-notes instructions from section 3.2 to configure the Python environment?

Hi JimB, thank you for the prompt response and helping me with this.
Yes I have.


Still same issue



Wilson Quah

The Python signing script is failing, as the text doesn't wrap to show the full invocation of the script, I cannot tell what might be the problem with this step.

JimB,
Have you check out the project and do a compilation on your side?
Is this issue hardware/OS dependent?
Or is this issue happening in the git repository Renesas provided?

Wilson Quah

I have not tried to build this project myself. The issue with the Python script is configuration issue.

I am sure that someone tested the code before uploading to the repository.

Can you copy / paste the invocation of that script that I highlighted above that would show the arguments to the script?

JimB,
Thank you for following up.
Here is my build output:

JimB,
Apologies for the confusion. I ran the same code in another platform and it works fine.
The issue was mainly due to my e2studio not using the correct python (I have more than 1 python version).
This is my successful build log from another platform
