How to separate the core code from the application

[sushmasan]

Hello Team,

As part of my application, I am using LPC55S69 microcontroller. At this moment, I am developing the code based on the LPC55S69 SDK code.

When I pulled the SDK code, it also contained the core code. But I would like to separate it into 2 separate folders like shown below,

myapplication -> Contains my application code, I will link to core code for the required header files and other sources on the MCUXpresso IDE

core -> Contains the core code, includes pin configurations and many other

Can someone please let me know, how to do this?

I already tried doing it, but I am seeing and error, so don't know what I am missing.

#error SERIAL_PORT_TYPE_UART, SERIAL_PORT_TYPE_USBCDC, SERIAL_PORT_TYPE_SWO, SERIAL_PORT_TYPE_VIRTUAL, and SERIAL_PORT_TYPE_BLE_WU should not be cleared at same time.

Regards,
San

@xiangjun_rong , Sorry, that's now what I was looking for.
But I was able to separate LPC55S69 core, and Free RTOS code from my application and able to build it.

Hello Team,

Let me clarify with few more details.

I would like to see the directory structure like this, let's say 3 folders

<my_application>

<LPC55S69_Core>

<freeRTOS>

my_application requires core (contains pin configuration, clock configuration changes) and freeRTOS.

So the question is, how can I achieve by keeping LPC55S69_core/freeRTOS code separately?

Hi,

You can add the group like the fig.

The red means right-mouse clicking.

Hope it can help you

Hi @xiangjun_rong,

Sorry, yesterday while posting the query I missed to add one thing.

I mentioned 3 separate folders, but they are 3 separate projects in one workspace.

My application can be build independently but dependent on LPC_core and FreeRTOS.

LPC core can be build independently.

FreeRTOS can be build independently.

In order to do this, what are all the specific components needs to be considered for LPC core and FreeRTOS from the SDK?

Do you mean myapplication is in a completely different directory from the other code?

In MCUXpressoIDE, you can make an SDK example project, and then import the myapplication folder as a `linked folder` and it will compile, but not be copied into the core folder.

You also have to set the paths and symbols so the myapplication folder is in the list of include directories so the core code can find it.

Hi,

Can you clarify your question?

do you want to create a directory which includes multiple *.c and *.h. If it is the case, it is okay, you can add the path in the project as the following fig.

Hope it can help you
