MCUXpresso IDE vs Config

JK_265 — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 20:02:40 GMT

I have to say I am a little confused about the MCUXpresso IDE and Config tools.

The IDE will not let me select IAR as the toolchain, so the auto-generated code contains the 'portable' code for GCC. I manually have to copy a few .C modules and a .ICF file from an IAR-specific example project.

On the other hand, the Config tool allows me to configure the toolchain to IAR, but does not allow SDK management activities. So the auto-generated code from the Config tool does not include any components/drivers, etc... Again, this would result in me manually copying files into my project.

Am I confused or is it not currently possible to auto-generate everything? If not, are there plans to remedy this?

Thanks!
