MCUXPresso for vscode build project failed

yhc123 — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:35:43 GMT

I want to try MCUXPresso for vscode

Firstly, I use "MCUXpresso Installer" to install MCUXpresso SDK Developer、Zephyr Developer、Matter Developer、ARM GNU ToolChain、Standalone Toolchain Add-ons and all debug probes softwares successfully。

Secondly, I create “SDK_25.03.00_FRDM-MCXN236” with all tool-chain

Third, I install "MCUXPresso for vscode" and install the sdk successfully, and I import a "hello world" demo,however，when I try to build the hello_world project，software output that

"arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1': CreateProcess: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
build finished with error(s). "

What‘s the problem of this?

Hi @yhc123,

Could you please try uninstalling the MCUXpresso extension for VSCode and reinstalling it but making sure that you enable administrator privileges, as well as disable your antivirus to ensure that the installation is completed without any restrictions?

Thanks for your reply. I have solved this problem by install the "ARM GNU Toolchain" Agian. Maybe I install the "ARM GNU Toolchain" failed in the last time.

Now I have another question, could you please help me ? The MCUpresso Installer just show intall function but do not show how to uninstall or update the toolchain, so how uninstall or update the toolchain、developer such as "ARM GNU Toolchain"、“MCUXpresso SDK Developer”、“Zephyr Developer” so on with the MCUpresso Installer.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @yhc123,

There is no way of uninstalling these dependencies from the MCUXpresso Intaller. You would have to uninstall them individually and manually using command line, similar to how they are installed on this page: Dependency Installation · nxp-mcuxpresso/vscode-for-mcux Wiki · GitHub

BR,
Edwin.
