Hi Jun,

Thanks for the response.

I imported the NXP MCU example "kw45b41zevk_digital_key_device_freertos" into VSCode using Import Project from folder. MCUxpresso for VScode generated some files Launch.json, cmake-kits.json, cmake-variants.json, settings.json, mcuxpresso-tools.json.

When I press F5,  VSCode displays the message below:

Could not read settings from mcuxpresso-tools.json for project "c:\_dev\digital_key_device-vscode\kw45b41zevk_digital_key_device_freertos"

Here is the content of mcuxpresso-tools.json:

{

  "version": "1.1",

  "toolchainPath": "C:\\Users\\kghemari\\.mcuxpressotools\\arm-gnu-toolchain-12.2.rel1-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-eabi",

  "toolchainVersion": "",

  "linkedProjects": [],

  "trustZoneType": "none",

  "multicoreType": "none",

  "debug": {

    "linkserver": {},

    "pemicro": {},

    "segger": {}

  },

  "projectType": "sdk-freestanding",

  "sdk": {

    "boardId": "kw45b41zevk",

    "manifestId": "",

    "deviceId": "KW45B41Z83xxxA",

    "coreId": "cm33_KW45B41Z83xxxA"

  }

}

Hello @Kateb 

How about import a simple SDK project?

All have the same issue or just only this project?

Thank you ...I'll get back to you as soon as I'll give it retry. For now I"m on another assignment.

Hi,

I still don't understand how to reproduce the problem, from what I see, this SDK does not have arm-gcc type support so cannot be used under vscode extension.

Similar, KW45 is not available under github.

Consequently, SDK examples will not compile.

So, can you detail how you imported the project? From an SDK? Or from MCUXpresso IDE? And how did you used a potential SDK that you have?
