MCUExpresso IDE not supporting peripheral selection - MK22FX512VMD12

phanids — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 14:13:50 GMT

Hi All,

I am using MK22FX512VMD12 controller and trying to configure few port pins and a serial port to begin with. I was able to create a new project for MK22FX512VMD12 (as there are no specific boards available for this controller) and able to configure the GPIO, and then trying to configure the UART and when I tried, I am seeing a message that "The tool does not support the selected processor". If any of you have any suggestions please let me know.

With best regards,

//P

Hi @phanids,

Unfortunately, the Periferals Tool does not support the MK22FX512xxx12, as you can see from this picture of the "Data Manager" window:

Please proceed with a manual implementation of the peripherals rather than relying on Peripherals Tool.

BR,
Edwin.

Hi Edwin,

Thanks a lot for this information (where is this list by the way?)

1. I was looking for alternative IDE's. Saw KDS (Kinetis Design Studio) - seems basically for Kinetis family of controllers. Do you think, it would be able to support - MK22FX512VMD12 for Clock, Peripheral/ device configuration?

2. Without peripheral/ Device configuration capability, seems MCUExpresso does not suit development MK22FX512VMD12 controller (Or we need to start from scratch - seems time consuming - but doable).

Thanks again and with best regards,

//P

Hi @phanids,

The list can be found by opening the "ConfigTools" option on the top bar menu of MCUXpresso, and then selecting "Data Manager":

1. Unfortunately, no. Kinetis Design Studio was released before ConfigTools, so KDS does not support it.

Do note that your part number does support Clock tool, from ConfigTools, just not Peripherals tool.

2. Manual initialization of the required peripherals is still an option. As you mention, a bit more time consuming but doable.

BR,
Edwin.
