Invoke armasm assembler in MCUXpresso IDE

[shilpa1]

I have legacy assembly source files that use the "armasm" syntax.

And I find that I need to Use "armasm" to assemble legacy armasm syntax assembly code. 

How can I invoke the armasm assembler in MCUXpresso IDE.

By default, an Eclipse auto-build project is tied to a certain tool chain (e.g. GNU), so won't be easy to direct certain files to a different tool like the assembler.

What I would do is to create a simple make file based project (see https://mcuoneclipse.com/2017/07/22/tutorial-makefile-projects-with-eclipse/ for a tutorial) and build your assembler files with armasm, then use the generated object files (or build an archive/library) in your other project.

I hope this helps,

where can I update the compiler options in exiting MCUxpresso IDE project (CC_OPTIONS )

[ErichStyger]

Project > Properties, then C/C++ Build > Settings.

In that settings MCU C compiler where exactly i need to set cc flags, is that in miscellaneous->other flags ? 

[ErichStyger]

yes. But if you are using a make file project as I suggested, you simply add your options in the make file itself.

This is the .src file content and I want to include it in my project , may i know how exactly this can be done. If makefile modification required may i know the correct flag for that.
