linux fedora install

Hi,

Has anyone install the IDE on Linux fedora?

I don't really need a fancy IDE, so I'm wondering if I can just pull the bootloader from the debian install package and use that from the command line along with the GNU ARM compiler and code from the SDK. Any tips for how to go about this will be appreciated.

Honestly I don't understand why everyone needs a complex IDE and why I can't find a simple set of instructions for using the command line on Linux. Again any help will be appreciated.

Hi Brooke,

Officially MCUXpresso IDE installer only supports Ubuntu Linux (64bit). but doesn't support fedora.

These are MCUXpresso IDE officially supports systems:

You should be able to extract the deb package using bsdtar. I don't have Fedora installed at the moment to try it, but it should be something like this:

 chmod +x mcuxpressoide-10.0.2_411.x86_64.deb.bin
 ./mcuxpressoide-10.0.2_411.x86_64.deb.bin --noexec --keep --target ~/mcuxpresso_deb
 cd ~/mcuxpresso_deb
 mkdir mcuxpressoide
 bsdtar -x -f mcuxpressoide-10.0.2_411.x86_64.deb -C mcuxpressoide/
 bsdtar -x -f mcuxpressoide/data.tar.gz -C mcuxpressoide/
 mkdir -p ~/mcuxpresso_deb/mcuxpressoide/usr/share/NXPLPCXpresso;
 mv ~/mcuxpresso_deb/mcuxpressoide/usr /;
 mv ~/mcuxpresso_deb/mcuxpressoide/lib/udev /usr/lib/;
