RT1176 debug console and shell

[DanielTC]

Under SBR\SDK_2_15_100_MIMXRT1170-EVK\devices\MIMXRT1176\utilities

How do you build the debug console and shell?

Or can you add the utilities directory to an existing project?

Hi @DanielTC,

You can add these utility components when creating a new project on the components section:

Or for an existing project, you can open the SDK component manager window and select them there:

I'm using the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE for Arm. Using existing project. Did not see the SDK component manager so I just added the required files to the existing utilities. It built with no errors. Is this correct? Also will this debug console and shell show up on one of the USB ports?

Hi @DanielTC,

Adding the components manually would be the option to do so on IAR, yes. If there were no build errors, then it should work and show up on one of the COM ports, as you mention.
