I have just acquired a CY8CPROTO-062-4343W kit and downloaded Modus Toolbox 2.0 (and rebooted my system several times since then).. I am running WIndows 10.

I have tried following along with the videos Modus Toolbox 101 Lessons 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2.

The screens are somewhat different- I attribute that to a difference between 2.0 and earlier versions.

One of the problems is there is no "Blinky" application in the list. So I thought I would try the "Hello World" application. It results in 2 errors which you can see below- however if they are illegible in the picture they read:

Error creating Eclipse launch configurations: Makefile:162: *** Unable to find any of the available CY_TOOLS_PATHS --  .  Stop.

Unable to find configurator information: Makefile:162: *** Unable to find any of the available CY_TOOLS_PATHS --  .  Stop.

And there are few of the files that I expected to see based on the videos including  the ability to look at the configuration

Based on my earlier work with Eclipse and Android, I am wondering if I need to add entries to my parh.

Anybody have any clue as to what to do.

Yes the videos are for ModusToolbox 1.1. Though the application code remains mostly the same , the flow in ModusToolbox 2.0 is slightly different. Please refer to the following documents on ModusToolbox 2.0 to get you started:

When you were installing ModusToolbox, did you change the default folder name "ModusToolbox" to something else? Please note that when you create the application it tries to locate the "tools_2.0" folder present in the installation directory.  If you installed ModusToolbox to a custom location, please add the path in "CY_TOOLS_PATHS+=" as shown below:

makefile.PNG

Or if you changed the name of the default folder to "ModusToolbox_20" for example, then just change the name in the "CY_TOOLS_PATHS ?=" to "$(CY_WIN_HOME)/ModusToolbox_20/tools_* \"

Let me know if this solves your issue.
