This exercise demonstrates how to port a project using MCUXpresso IDE and SDK from one RT MCU to another.  The exercise starts with an SDK demo project for the MIMXRT1060-EVK board, and ports to the IMXRT1050-EVKB board.   The "MCUXpresso IDE User Guide" installed with the IDE gives this warning: changing a project’s associated MCU should not be undertaken unless you have a total grasp of the consequence of this change.  Therefore rather than changing a project’s associated MCU, it is strongly recommended that instead a new project is generated for the desired MCU and this new project is edited as required.  However, on occasion it may be expedient to reset a project’s MCU (and associated SDK)   I also recommend using a SDK project intended for the final MCU, and just port the application source files to it.  But here are the steps to port the project.  Also note, these two boards use different flash types by default.  In this example, the IMXRT1050-EVKB was reworked to use the QSPI flash on the board following Appnote AN12108.  Once the RT1050 EVK is modified to use the QSPI flash, it is the same flash used on the RT1060 EVK.   Resources used in this exercise: IMXRT1050-EVKB board RevA1 MIMXRT1060-EVK board RevA2 MCUXpresso IDE v11.2.0 MCUXpresso SDK from Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder  EVKB-IMXRT1050_SDK_2.8.2 EVK-MIMXRT1060_SDK_2.8.2   Attached to this post are two projects: Starting_evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky.zip was the original SDK example running on the RT1060 EVK evkbmimxrt1050_iled_blinky_ported.zip is the final ported project, running from QSPI and RT1050     Following the "MCUXpresso IDE User Guide" section "Changing the MCU (and associated SDK)", changed the MCU to MIMXRT1052xxxxB.  Also changed the flash driver to MIMXRT1050_SFDP_QSPI.cfx.  If using Segger JLink, see https://wiki.segger.com/i.MXRT1050 to change the flash algorithm to QSPI.   And then changed the package/part number to MIMXRT1052DVL6B.   Changed the project name to evkbmimxrt1050_iled_blinky_ported Changed the C Compiler Preprocessor definitions to the SDK device CPU_MIMXRT1052DVL6B   Replaced the files from the SDK package EVKB-IMXRT1050_SDK_2.8.2 (Note: MCUXpresso IDE supports "SDK Project Component Management", which could also be used for updating some of these files.  See section "SDK Project Component Management" of the IDE user guide.  But I replaced the files manually myself from the RT1050 SDK package): device folder with the SDK files from EVKB-IMXRT1050_SDK_2.8.2.zip\devices\MIMXRT1052.  startup file from \EVKB-IMXRT1050_SDK_2.8.2.zip\devices\MIMXRT1052\mcuxpresso\ drivers files from \EVKB-IMXRT1050_SDK_2.8.2.zip\devices\MIMXRT1052\drivers\ board files, can use an SDK example for the ported device, or generate the clock_config and pin_mux files from the MCUXpresso Config tools xip files would also need to be updated if flash configuration changes.  In this example, both boards are using the same QSPI flash, and these files are the same.   Delete the .launch debug configuration file in the project.  MCUXpresso IDE will regenerate it.   With these changes, the ported project runs on the RT1050 EVK.

Checking disassemble code is often needed for programmers when developing a project. This article will introduce two methods of generating disassemble file with GNU utility objdump under MCUXpresso IDE 10.1.0. If user needs demo code, please send me community internal message.

Upgraded: Version v15 of MCUXpresso Config Tools. Added: Initial support for MCXN2xx devices and FRDM-MCXN236 board. Feature: [MCXN9xx] Update debug support for A1 silicon. Feature: [App Code Hub] The IDE now offers views and wizards that allow users to import projects by directly interacting with Application Code Hub website. Feature is accessible through the File -> Import -> Application Code Hub wizard, the dedicated Quickstart link, by opening the view using Window -> Show View -> Other -> Application Code Hub, or by using Help -> Additional Resources -> Application Code Hub menu entry. Feature: [SDK Integration] Synchronization with SDK v2.15.abc and manifest schema version 3.14. Feature: [SDK Integration] Support complex dependencies for board, core, device, toolchain, compiler. Feature: [SDK Integration] Support new "template" type of SDK component containing predefined code snippets, visible to users in the UI of new project wizard and component manager to allow users to add the files with the snippets into projects. Also, added CLI support for this type by "use.all.templates" property for the "example.build" and "project.build" commands. By default, the option is set to false, so no template source is added to the project. Feature: [SDK Integration] Existing Import Remote SDK Git repository flow improved - a wizard is now used to clone and import the SDK. Feature: [SDK Integration] Automatic import of plugin SDKs from previous IDEs versions when upgrading to newer version. Feature: [SDK Integration] Add "change.sdk.roots" command in CLI mode that allows updating the built-in SDK search locations.

Fixed: [IDE / Toolchain integration] The IDE automatically switches to using response files inside the generated linker command, for command lines exceeding 32K in length. Behavior is specific to Windows hosts, where there's a 32K length limit for a command line. Fixed: [IDE / Toolchain integration] Archiver ends with error when lots of object files are passed to the tool. IDE now passes object files through response files when command line exceeds 32K in length. Fixed: [SDK Integration] Recreating or uninstalling a GitHub SDK deletes the manifest file from the repository and breaks the SDK. Fixed: [NPW] Link section memory range used by secondary Multicore project specified during project creation is not reflected in final project settings. Fixed: [RT1180 B0] Semihosting PRINTF does not work properly with LinkServer when heap is located in cacheable memory.
