Using Config Tools via MCUXpresso for VS code

[CktDesigner]

I converted a project from the MCUXpresso IDE to MCUXpresso for VS code.

The project is for a custom board that uses the MIMXRT1062CVL5B processor.

The project compiles using the MCUXpresso IDE.

I'm using MCUXpresso Config Tools Version 15.0

I'm using Visual Studio Code Version 1.90.2 with Version 1.9 of MCUXpresso for VS Code extension

After importing the project into VScode (and manually modifying a couple of things that didn't convert properly), it now compiles in VScode.

I configured the project pins and peripherals using the Config Tool in MCUXpresso IDE.

When I open the Config Tool via VScode, I get errors stating that some drivers are not found in the toolchain/IDE project. These errors don't show up when using the IDE version.

The drivers are there and the code compiles!

The Errors can be resolved by clicking Edit->Undo Custom toolchain project link (although the Information item "No toolchain project is detected" still shows up in the Problems tab!!

I then save the Configuration File (.mex). But if I close the Config Tool, then later re-open it, the same error exists.

Also, if I want to add a new component to the project, I can click on the Config Tool Peripheral driver tab and add the component, but the driver doesn't get added to the project. (This can be done when using the "IDE" version.) Is there a different procedure to do this in the "VS code" version?

Thanks!

The MCUXpresso Config Tool in VS Code does not fully integrate with the VS Code project like it does in the full IDE. Informational errors about missing drivers can be ignored if the project compiles. Similar to how users rely on mods like GTA SA Mod Apk for additional features, to add new components you need to use the full MCUXpresso IDE to generate the driver files and then manually copy them into your VS Code project, as the VS Code version cannot automatically update the project with new drivers.
