i.MX RT600 Evaluation Kit Ubuntu tutorial

Jianan_Li — Mon, 19 May 2025 18:11:26 GMT

Hi,

I've followed the i.MX RT600 Evaluation Kit Getting started page on Windows and I could build and run the example on board. But once I switched to Linux(Ubuntu) system, I could not link the board to Xplorer. Do we have a full Getting starter video for linux environment?

Also in Executorch page in shows it could run on i.MX RT600. But when I try to build the model, it shows "can not find -lcadence_kernels". Does NXP also support the Executorch officially?

Thanks

Jianan

Hi @Jianan_Li

I am sorry for the delayed response.

We currently do not have a guide for Linux. We are currently investigating the issue you report to us.

Hi @Jianan_Li ,

Are you still facing the error with Xplorer IDE? if so, which version of the getting started guide are you following? which version of Ubuntu are you using?
You can follow the next documentation which is the latest version Getting Started with Xplorer for EVK-MIMXRT685 — MCUXpresso SDK Documentation .

Note: Regarding The Xtensa Software Tools these are officially supported in the Linux version: RHEL 6 64-bit (with ‘Desktop’ package installed), so there may be compatibility issues with other versions of Linux, especially when using the IDE.
