Hi
in this step: Configure BSP Connection in MicroEJ Application

I followed all the steps in (Configure BSP Connection in MicroEJ Application) and I got the following error:

=============== [ Initialization Stage ] ===============
WARNING: This OS version (Windows 11) has not been tested at the time this package as been built… some functionnalities may not work.

FAIL

The information is:

What’s the solution?
Thanks

Hello @hussam,

First I think your deploy.bsp.root.dir property in the emb.properties file is wrong, it should be set to an absolute path. For example:

deploy.bsp.root.dir=C:\\Users\\yourusername\\yourproject\\FreeRTOS\\FreeRTOS\\Demo\\CORTEX_LM3S811_GCC

I think your error is caused by the version of Java used to build and launch your project. Could you please:

• Tell me what version of the MicroEJ SDK Dist. you are using.
• Tell me what MicroEJ architecture you are using.
• Right-click on your Java project, go to Properties > Java Compiler and make sure that the JDK Compliance is set to Java 1.7.

Regards,

Alexis

• my version of the MicroEJ SDK Dist is:
  

  

• my MicroEJ architecture is:
  latest MicroEJ Architecture for Arm® Cortex®-M0 (flopi0G22-7.14.0-eval.xpf)

• the JDK Compliance is:
  

  

note:
The distribution I use for MicroEJ SDK is 23.07.
But In the tutorial the prerequisites for the distribution are 20.10

Does it have an effect?

Hello @hussam,

I see that you are launching your application using Java 11 but you use an architecture 7.14.x. Java 11 is supported only with architecture 7.18.x and more and with MicroEJ SDK Dist. 22.06 and more.

You should either upgrade your architecture or use Java 8.

Here is how you can ensure that you are using the right Java version:

• Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs, make sure that a JDK 8 is selected:
  
  
• Before launching your application go to Run > Run Configurations..., select your launcher and go to the JRE tab, make sure that a JDK 8 is selected:
