Add iMXRT1060X processor support to MCUXpresso 11.4.1

[dh1]

Hello

We have a bit of a special request. We have a firmware project which is compileable for different hardware platforms using the iMXRT1060.
We are using MCUxpresso 11.4.1 and do not want to change it, because changing the MCUX version means also changing the compiler, which is a risk.

Now we have a new hardware platform which uses the new iMXRT1060X. But it seems the MCUX 11.4.1 does not support newer SDKs which support this cpu.

Is there some kind of way to add support for iMXRT1060X to MCUX 11.4.1?

Thanks and regards,
Daniel

Hi @dh1 ,

There isn't a special support for RT1060X.

If you look at RT1060X datasheet, you'll see their real name.

This has been added into fsl_device_registers.h

So, what need to do is changing the predefine in project properties.

Hello Jing

Thanks for your reply.
That is true and we already did this. But to use the PinMux Tool inside MCUxpresso, this is not enough.

The processor type is not known by the PinMux Tool and a new SDK cannot be integrated because it seems the format changed and version 11.4.1 does not recognize them anymore.

Hi @dh1 ,

Yes, it's true. It seems RT106X isn't added into configure tool. I'll report this issue to software team.
