Unable to see examples in the 'Examples' Tab on selecting a specific device

[avi-77]

Hi @edriouk,

In the CMSIS pack manager plugin version 2.8.0, I'm unable to see the examples in the 'Examples' Tab on selecting a specific device.

Although, I'm able to see the examples in the 'Examples' Tab on selecting All Devices as shown in the figure below.

Please note, I have installed the com.arm.cmsis.pack.refclient plugin. It was working fine in version 2.7.0. Could you please look into this issue for the next release?

Hi,
that is a problem of comparing board IDs
Board description:
<board name="RSL10 Evaluation Board" revision="1.0" vendor="ONSemiconductor">
Board ID:
board description is ONSemiconductor::RSL10 Evaluation Board (1.0)
example board description:
<board name="RSL10 Evaluation Board" vendor="ONSemiconductor"/>
example board ID :
ONSemiconductor::RSL10 Evaluation Board

Boards of different revisions are treated as incompatible => check fails for a selected board/device on that board
This rule has been enforced in 2.8.0 because of adding Board Support functionality.
I agree that it can be made less restrictive to display available examples.
Will be planned for the next release

Seeing this issue too. It's a noticable difference from previous releases and therefore looks like a severe bug.

Easy though to update the Examples with a revision tag.

<board name="myBoard" vendor="myVendor" revision="Rev. A"/>

Fixed in 2.9.0
