This post will include a history of releases for the MCUXpresso Config Tools.    Most Recent Release: MCUXpresso Config Tools v11 - Released on January 17, 2022   Download Links: MCUXpresso IDE with integrated Config Tools Standalone MCUXpresso Config Tool   Standalone MCUXpresso Config Tool vs MCUXpresso IDE integrated version The functionality of the MCUXpresso Config Tools is integrated directly within the MCUXpresso IDE as tool perspectives (Pins, Clock, Peripheral, etc).  The configuration tools/perspective will provide a seamless way to configure and modify projects developed within MCUXpresso IDE.  The MCUXpresso Config Tools are also provided as a standalone installation for use with other IDEs (IAR and Keil).  Additionally these tools can be used without an IDE for generating configuration files and generated source file for use without an IDE.   Receive email notification for new releases: If you would like to receive email notifications when a new version of the MCUXpresso Config Tools is released, consider adding an "Email Watch" to this post.   Previous Release History: MCUXpresso Config Tools v10 - Released on July 15, 2021 MCUXpresso Config Tools v9 - Released on January 15, 2021 MCUXpresso Config Tools v8 - Released on July 21, 2020 MCUXpresso Config Tools v7 - Released on Dec 19, 2019  MCUXpresso Config Tools v6 - Released on June 13, 2019 MCUXpresso Config Tools v5 - Released on January 10, 2019

The MCUXpresso Config Tools is installed without the data for MCUs and boards, and the data are download on demand via internet. So this article describes how to use MCUXpresso Config Tools with offline Computer. There are two methods: - Copy and paste the data on computer; - Connect the internet when first using. About the detail steps, please have a look at attachment . Thanks for the suggestion from Petr Hradsky . Alice Yang

This tip will show you how to use MCUXpresso Config Tools V4.1 generate codes for KV5x with 50MHz external reference clock. The fec_extal in datasheet shows that the maximum frequency of Input clock frequency (external clock mode) is 48MHz. It will lead code generation failed when you configure 50MHz as the external reference clock in latest MCUXpresso Config Tools V4.1. (Code generation in case of warnings shouldn't be blocked. It will be fixed for MCUXpresso Config Tools V5.) Some customer had met this issue when using TWR-KV58F220M board, this board connect a 50MHz_OSC to EXTAL0. My colleague have prepared a hot fix for this issue (for all MKV5x MCUs). After install the attached hot_fix_MCUXpresso_Config_Tools_V4_1_data_MKV58_MCUCM-3936, customer is able to overcome it.(Notice: The ProgramData folder was hidden by default.)
