Summary of Changes - version 11.8.0 - August 2023

  • Upgraded: Eclipse version to 2022.12 (Eclipse Platform 4.26.0 / CDT 11.0.0).
  • Upgraded: MCUXpresso IDE integrated with OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.5+8.
  • Upgraded: GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain to version 12.2.Rel1.
  • Upgraded: Version v14 of MCUXpresso Config Tools.
  • Upgraded: ARM CMSIS-Pack Eclipse Plug-ins 2.8.0.
  • Upgraded: Newer SEGGER J-Link software (v7.88m).
  • Upgraded: Newer PEmicro plugin (v5.6.7).
  • Synchronization with SDK v2.14.x.
  • Added support for MCXN9xx devices.
  • Added support for RW61x devices.
  • Feature: New IDE build for Mac with native Apple silicon support.
    See download section for the new product.
  • Feature: LinkServer LPC-Link2 firmware now softloaded as v5.460 which offers support for powering certain RT1xxx EVK boards (which incorporate on-board debug probes based on LPC-Link2 hardware) through the USB debug connection.
  • Feature: [Open-CMSIS-Pack] Extended integration with ARM CMSIS-Pack Eclipse Plug-ins.  Now adding a new Open-CMSIS-Pack component is managed by ARM CMSIS-Pack Eclipse Plug-in. This brings support for:
    • components dependency.
    • multiple component selection.
    • automatically check dependencies in the new multiple component selection view.
    • copy configuration and template files to project.

Note. If a project was created with the previous version of Open-CMSIS-Pack support, you'll be asked to remove or to keep the added components. Choosing "keep" involves preserving sources only, not the links with Open-CMSIS-Pack Manager. If you need to have them managed by ARM CMSIS-Pack Eclipse Plug-in (for the above mentioned available features) please choose "remove" and add them back.

  • Feature: Added support for selecting library type in SDK CLI. Now redlib, newlib, newlib_nano can be selected as options when generating a project. Check MCUXpresso_IDE_Command_Line_User_Guide.pdf for details.
  • Improvement: [SDK Integration] Allow the possibility to switch a project from one MCU device to another.
  • Improvement: [SDK Integration] Reduced time required to import examples from zipped SDKs.
  • Improvement: [SDK Integration] Optimize initial SDK GitHub cloning time by deferring cloning of examples until actually needed.
  • Improvement: [Debugger] Discover Probes dialog warns if using MCU-Link probes running firmware which is incompatible with the current IDE version.
  • Improvement: [Debugger] Add possibility to disable auto-debug of secondary project based on target name in Debug Options preferences.
  • Improvement: [RTOS] Add preferences to control enablement of RTOS TAD logging consoles. This prevents showing up unwanted or not used consoles. Go to Preferences -> MCUXpresso IDE -> RTOS TAD -> (Desired) RTOS -> Logging configuration and select or unselect "Create logging console and log messages from TAD plugin".
  • Improvement: [SWO] Error caused by input in the ITM console now should also be displayed inside the console.
  • Improvement: [IDE][Quickstart Panel] Added link to executable import wizard in Quickstart Panel.
  • Improvement: [IDE] Add 'bash' shell executable in buildtools/bin folder on Windows.
  • Improvement: [Installer] Support silent installation for Linux installers (deb.bin packages). This can be executed using: <install_package>.deb.bin -- --acceptLicense.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Unexpected disk space consumption at "Refresh" operation.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Error reported when creating a project from GitHub SDK with a board selection from a standalone SDK.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Include Paths list is duplicated after refreshing SDK components.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] New Project Wizard incorrectly computes anyOf dependency for multi core component.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] C startup file is incorrectly added in C++ project after refreshing SDK components.

  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Exception error is displayed when user scrolls in component list from SDK Wizard window.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Cloning more than one GitHub SDK repository makes the second repository unusable.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Deselecting components with dependencies doesn't display warnings.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Unable to deactivate an already installed Git SDK repository from Installed SDKs view.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Build error is obtained when some specific components (serial_manager_*) are changed from SDK Management -> Manage SDK Components view.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Progress is incorrectly reported in NPW and SDK Import Wizard.
  • Fixed: [SDK Integration] Importing projects may introduce wrong dependencies between SDK components which result in build failure.
  • Fixed: [Toolchain integration] Building some projects may be shown as failed due to linker warnings misinterpreted as errors.
  • Fixed: [Toolchain Integration] Project is always rebuilt after restarting the IDE.
  • Fixed: [Executable Importer] Cannot use Binary Utilities with the imported ELF.
  • Fixed: [Managed Linker Script] Sometimes .bss sections are unexpectedly part of the output bin/s19 images. These are now declared as NOLOAD in the linker scripts.
  • Fixed: [Flash Programmer] KW45B41Z board should not have Resurrect locked Kinetis device option.
  • Fixed: [Flash Programmer] Flash tool not writing .flash_config section from ELF.
  • Fixed: [Debug][LPC55S36 A1] Restart does not work.
  • Fixed: [Debug] Null pointer exception when creating new launch config for LinkServer.

  • Fixed: [Debug][Multicore] "Step Return All Debug sessions" throws error while in source code.
  • Fixed: [Debug][ARMv6-M] The default VECTRESET set for flash reset has no effect since it is not supported for ARMv6-M MCUs. Use SOFT reset instead.
  • Fixed: [Debug][PEmicro & LinkServer] GUI Flash Tool fields are pre-filled with wrong information for PEmicro when a debug launch is previously created, or are not implemented when using LinkServer debug probes.
  • Fixed: [Debug][PEmicro] TrustZone projects cannot be debugged because non-secure image is not programmed in flash.
  • Fixed: [Debug][LinkServer] Semihosting operations fail while debugger is detached and may not recover when re-attaching.
  • Fixed: [Debug][LinkServer] Various semihosting operations fail when using LinkServer debug probe.

  • Fixed: [Debug][LinkServer] Debug session launch is very slow on LinkServer compared to other probes on some Windows PCs.
  • Fixed: [Debug][Linkserver] Cannot boot LPC-Link1 when a LPC-Link2 probe configured for DFU booting is also present.
  • Fixed: [Energy Measurement] View should not allow attaching to debug session on targets with no measurement support.
  • Fixed: [Enery Measurement] Error might be encountered when successively connecting various probes and using "Out of debug" mode.
  • Fixed: [FreeRTOS] Exception occasionally encountered when resuming or pausing the debug session of a FreeRTOS project with non-stop GDB option disabled and Peripherals Window open.
  • Fixed: [FreeRTOS] In 'freertos_hello' example application, 'hello' task is shown as "Running" even before having the scheduler running.
