Updating OSE5.3 to add BSPs
Q: In OSE5.3 the BSPs aren't delivered in the CD, and I have to install them separately myself. How to do this?
A: If you have a CD for your BSP, you can install it like any other. If you have a zip file then:
1) unzip the packed file somewhere in a temporary location.
2) Go into bsp_target_xxxx/image
3) run install.bat (windows) or install.sh (anything else).
4) When it asks you for an encryption key, just leave it blank.
5) Then it will ask you where to install. Put the directory as your $OSE_ROOT, e.g. c:/OSE/OSE5.3 .
6) During the install, if you already had OSE5.3 there then you'll get a lot of requests to overwrite files. Just say "Yes to all" since the files being overwritten are identical. (if you find that's not the case, contact support.)
7) Now your new BSP is installed in OSE5.3/refsys/rtose along with any others, and you can proceed to build is as you did for previous releases.
Q: I'm installed some OSE5.3 BSPs. I don't see the pre-built rtose.elf or rtose.exe for soft kernel in there anymore.
A: Correct. The pre-built binaries are no longer delivered.

Startup errors in Optima 1.5
Q: I'm firing up Optima 1.5 for the first time and getting this error:
Could not check out a FLEXlm license for OSE Events plugin (com.ose.event.ui)
Reason:
No such feature exists(-5,116)
Also a similar error follows for OSE Profiler plugin (com.ose.prof.ui). What gives?
A: Like most releases, the Optima tools have their own license per release. If you forgot to replace your Optima 1.4 (a.k.a. Tools 1.4) license with the 1.5 version, then you'll get errors related to missing license keys for these new features for 1.5. The errors are harmless if you don't need those features, and Optima will proceed to start without them.
Q: Okay, now I've done that and when I restart Optima 1.5 again, it's complaining that I need to select a new workspace. What is wrong now?
A: There is a minor "quirk" with this release of Eclipse that does not fully shut down the Eclipse process in Windows XP when you back out of an Eclipse launch, like you may have done previously if you canceled it (after seeing an error, for instance). Go to the Windows Task Manager and check if the Eclipse process is still up. If so, just kill it there and start up again.
