MCUXpresso v. 10.3.1_2233 IDE errors when attempting to import SDK_2.5.0_EVK-MIMX8MM.

MCUXpresso v. 10.3.1_2233 IDE errors when attempting to import  SDK_2.5.0_EVK-MIMX8MM.  I tried loading a different SDK (SDK_2.5.0_EVK-MIMRT1015) and it worked just fine.  Is there any solution to this?  Perhaps a minor change to a manifest file will correct this issue?

[kmarcinkowska]

Yeah I know. I just a shame that we put some code up on something called " nxp MCUXPRESSO sdk" and it doesn't work on the "mcu Expresso ide". You have to admit that is a little confusing.  I mean maybe we could still allow the sdk to be imported but...oh wait just a second...use a different compiler tool chain such as gcc...shocking

yes, sorry for confusing. you can find more detailed information from the link as below:

i.MX Software | NXP 

pls find MCUXpresso SDK for i.MX Cortex-M "

[joanxie]

the MCUpresso IDE doesn't support imx8 series SDK, only supports GCC ARM or IAR

[kmarcinkowska]

Ok it looks like i need to use a different tool/IDE the documentation state "except MCUXpresso"

[kmarcinkowska]

Should i use a different tool for this SDK?

lets compare

SDK_2.5.0_EVK-MIMXRT1015

in EVK-MIMXRT1015_manifest_v3_4

</defines>
<ksdk id="MCUXpresso250" name="MCUXpresso250" version="2.5.0"/>

<toolchainSettings>
<toolchainSetting id="com.nxp.mcuxpresso" name="mcuxpresso" version="10.3.1" full_name="MCUXpresso IDE" compiler="compiler_gcc" toolchain="mcuxpresso">

SDK_2.5.0_EVK-MIMX8MM

in EVK-MIMX8MM_manifest_v3_3

</defines>
<ksdk id="KSDK250" name="KSDK250" version="2.5.0" revision="de6cf8db0eb 2019-01-07"/>

<toolchains>
<toolchain id="armgcc" name="GCC_ARM_Embedded" full_name="GCC ARM Embedded" type="armgcc" compiler="compiler_gcc" version="7.2.1" vendor="GCC ARM Embedded" vendor_url="http://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded"/>
<toolchain id="iar" name="IAR_Embedded_Workbench_for_ARM" full_name="IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM" type="iar" compiler="compiler_iar" version="8.30.1" vendor="IAR Systems" vendor_url="http://www.iar.com"/>
</toolchains>

Looks like the xml entries in the manifest file do not mention MCUXPRESSO. Comparing with other sdks the manifest mention this as a tool chain. This is the likely cause.
