need basic support to IDE

Ben — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 13:28:09 GMT

Hello

I am new to MCUXpresso IDE. All the demo video and documents ref. to demo boards. Where can I see detailed explanation how to create a project on bare board? I am using my own design board with KV46.

I tried creating KV46 zip with the SDK, and importing it to the IDE, but I am got strange error messages without writing a single code line!

Please help...

TIA

Hi TIA,

First KV46 needs to be supported by both MCUXpresso IDE and SDK.

when download SDK , we must be attention to set Toolchain as MCUXpresso IDE. I know many customers met build error because didn't define the correct toolchain.

after you install SDK, you can create a new project with referring attached video. this this not for KV but the method is the same.

Have a great day,

Hi Jennie

After several weeks of trying a lot of solutions, I found-out that the IDE needs Internet connectivity to define the MKV46,

I installed the IDE on another computer which has Internet connection, and it works.

On the off-line computer I got messages that no MPU selected. (although I installed the SDK for the MKV46, pins and clock files). On the online computer it works good.

Is there a way to work off-line?

Hi Ben,

There is no absolute offline versions. If we need update the IDE or download SDK or purchase/active Pro edition features, an internet connection is necessary.

This is mentioned in MCUXpresso_IDE_Installation_Guide.pdf under the MCUXpresso install folder:

Thank you for the information. Does NXP have any offline solution like the CW I used for several years?

Hi Ben,

NO, not exactly same as CodeWarrior.

For MCUXpresso IDE, all the available install/patch packages are listed as below
