MCUXpresso IDE vs Config

[JK_265]

I have to say I am a little confused about the MCUXpresso IDE and Config tools.  Using LPC55S16 with intent to compile/debug under IAR.

The IDE will not let me select IAR as the toolchain, so the auto-generated code contains the 'portable' code for GCC.  I manually have to copy a few .C modules and a .ICF file from an IAR-specific example project.

On the other hand, the Config tool allows me to configure the toolchain to IAR, but does not allow SDK management activities.  So the auto-generated code from the Config tool does not include any components/drivers, etc... that were not part of the original example project.  Again, this would result in me manually copying files into my project.

Am I confused or is it not currently possible to auto-generate everything?  If not, are there plans to remedy this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, you need manually copying files into my project, for example, if you want configuration I2C function, you can first clone an I2C SDK demo use Config Tool:

then you can config I2C component. If you want to add ADC base on this project, yes, you need first add ADC SDK driver into this IAR project, then open Config Tool to config, or it will show error.

In one work, we need add files by ourselves if the project doesn't include.
