MCUXpresso Pins Config Tool - View Pin Functions

[jeffthompson]

In MCUXpresso Pins Config Tool, or in some other tool, can I view the functions available for a given pin? A configurator for a competing MCU supplier lets me look at the pin grid array and see the available functions for each each pin, but the NXP tool does not appear to have that capability, unless I'm missing something.

Hi Jeff,

there are several options, showing hiere for a Kinetis device.

First if you move the mouse over a pin it shows the pin name which includes the functions:

If you click on a peripheral it shows which pins can be used for that function:

In the table view you get all the possible assignments for a pin. For example pin 28 can be GPIO, FTM Timer, UART, ....:

That's what you see in ohter tools as 'grid array', not sure if you have missed that one?

If you click on the checkbox, you get a list of possible assignments:

I hope this helps,

Erich

Hi! When I open the pins tool, I get this but I can't select new pins. I had the window before but don't know how to access it. Please help!
