Questions about SPC5 Studio Install and eco system for SPC58 devices

[mkrug]

Dear all,

I just ordered the SPC58EC-DISP eval kit and thought it's time to start to setup my first program. I downloaded and installed the SPC5 studio and run immediately into the following problems:

• When I try to install the GNU CC compiler from the 'market place' I get the following error message:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

 Software being installed: Gnu GCC feature 4.9.4.201809141314 (com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.gcc.feature.feature.group 4.9.4.201809141314)

 Missing requirement: Gnu GCC feature 4.9.4.201809141314 (com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.gcc.feature.feature.group 4.9.4.201809141314) requires 'com.st.tools.spc5.compiler 1.1.0' but it could not be found

Although I have some experience with Eclipsed based SDK's I cannot figure out how to solve that

• The version of SPC5 Studio that I downloaded and installed is 5.8. I found in a reason question here that there is a 5.8.1. available. However, if I select 'Check for Updates' I get the reply 'No updates found'. So the question is how to update to 5.8.1
• How can I get support for the SPC58xxx family. Currently they are not included in the platform selection dialog box while creating a new project.
• Is it correct to say that there is no free of charge compiler available for the SPC58xxx devices?

Best Regards

Markus

I had the same problem as You Markus. First I added site: http://download.spc5studio.com/updates to the upgrade library and choosed only my microcontroller family SPC56BCxx_Device_Feature from the devices tree. After I installed the dedicated for the SPC560BC family software The GCC compiler installed properly.
