Does Codewarrior support the Cortex M4 as coprocessor (imx7s)?

I am considering what IDE I get for my M4 coprocessor. ARM based microcontrollers are supported e.g. the Kinetis K1x... see https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/software-development-tools/codewarrior-development-tools/codewarrior-legacy/codewarrior-development-studios/codewarrior-for-microcontrollers/codewarrior-for-mcus-eclipse-ide-coldfire-56800-e-dsc-kinetis-qorivva-56xx-rs08-s08-s12z-v11.0:CW-MCU10.

So in my imx7s, there is an ARM Cortex m4 too. I guess there sure are some differences but, would it be possible to use Codewarrior on this MCU? If not, what are good, maybe free, alternatives besides the GNU MCU plugin for Eclipse.

Thanks

Hi Erik,

Unfortunately CodeWarrior does not support i.MX7S, but in www.nxp.com/imx7d > SOFTWARE & TOOLS tab >Board Support Packages you will find FeeRTOS BSP for i.MX7D. Here you can find examples created on IAR, DS5 and using GCC in command line. You could use these projects as reference.

Thank you for your answer.

So, the Eclipse with GNU MCU plugins are the only solution to get to the M4 inside the imx7s? Or are there other IDE's?
