The Processor Expert generates examples how to configure IOMUX for different
pins functionality. But these examples are relatively independent and are not intended

for direct insertion, say, to Linux. Customers should adapt Linux codes manually.

In the same time, it is possible to use common Eclipse-based IDE for Processor
Expert and ARM C toolchains. In particular, the following sequence may be implemented
for both Linux and Windows hosts.

1.

Install Eclipse (Kepler release) IDE for C/C++ Developers.

https://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/keplersr2

Add Eclipse Processor Expert plugin, as recommended in the documentation.

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=PROCESSOR-EXPERT-IMX

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-101470

Add GNU ARM Eclipse :

It contains configurations for different toolchains, including Linux ones.

Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi Yuri,

I am habituate to work with codewarrior and PEX. It is quite easy starting a new project because one can configurate the core and pheriferals very quick.

Now i am working with an IMX6UL so i have changed to IAR IDE (we already got installed) which supports cortex-A7 cores. The fact is that now i don't have the facility that PEX gave me in CW, and when i start a new project i do not have start up, nor anything as i had in CW. I only have an empty folder.

I have installed PEX for I.MX Processors v1.1.0 with the intent of generate these initialitations and then import the generated code to my project in IAR but:

1- I find so wierd that in the CPU processor component, one can't configurate any parameter. Only Soc type and compiler (GNU or keil)

2- In Components Library there is only one component "PinSettings"

Is this tool only for configuring IOMUX?

Thanks and best regards

Hi Alberto Lubeiro

Yes, only for IOMUX.
