Hello,
As mentioned in the title, I'd like to create a new multi-core project for imxrt1176 microcontroller.
I already one working in the MCUXpresso IDE, but I'm transitioning to VS Code as an experiment.
I managed to successfully import an older multicore MCUXpresso IDE created projects, but both of them had some missing pieces in the configuration.
Just like on the picture below (there were 2 instances, each for every project: MASTER and SLAVE)
Both MCU and Repository options above were not detected. I do not know if that makes any difference or whether it's needed for further development, but it got me a little bit worried .
I also wanted to check if I can as easily recreate multicore project from scratch as I did for Eclipse based MCUXpresso IDE.
When I opened project Wizard I could see the following page:
1. Is it possible to create project based not on EVK BOARD but on the microcontroller instead?
i.e. I'd like the new project to be dedicated for a microcontroller like I did in the "old" way in IDE - It's a bit outdated SDK example
The reason I want to do it this way is to avoid any "bloat" modules/files, etc. that is not relevant for my microcontroller, since I have my own custom board. It has nothing to do with evaluation kit. Unless I have some wrong understanding about that SDK EVK/EVKB part and I should not worry about it.
In MCUXpresso IDE I can do the following
After that, I can specify that I want the following project to have a role either of Standalone, MASTER or SLAVE
2. Since I do not see this option ATM, does it mean it's not yet supported (or never will be)?
3. Maybe I should create the project in the MCUXpresso IDE first, and then import it to the vscode?
Please let me know if I made some mistake in configuration or if you require so more information.
Best regards,
Michael
Hi @mimlo,
1. Currently it is not possible to make a project based on a MCU SDK, since only the Board SDK are available.
2. I wouldn't be able to tell you whether this feature is going to be supported on the future.
3. Yes, I recommend you do that instead. Make sure to create the project and leave all of the files it is created with. Do not delete any of the files as this might result in missing dependencies.
BR,
Edwin.
