LPC5536: LPCXpresso55S36 Development Board supported?

[danielholala]

Hello,

I'm using MCUXpresso for VS Code for the first time. 

I started by installing a repository, i.e., the MCUXpresso SDK from github.

Then I wanted to import an example from this repository but the LPCXpresso55S36 Development Board seems not supported, see screenshot:

That's strange, as the MCUXpresso SDK clearly contains files for the LPC5536 processor, see here:

https://github.com/nxp-mcuxpresso/mcux-sdk/tree/main/devices/LPC5536

Please advise!

Thanks.
Daniel

Hi, danielholala

When I set up the repository, the version I chose was MCUX_2.14.0_LPC55S36. I can find the LPCXpresso55S36 Development Board.

There is another way you can try, You can download the LPCXpresso55S36 Development Board from MCUXpresso SDK Builder, download address for https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/welcome, Note the following Toolchain options, select ALL Toolchain.

Download the sdk in the C:\VS_Code\ SDK_2_14_0_LPCXpresso55S36.zip directory and install a repository locally.

Updating Media

Then, import the LPCXpresso55S36 development board sample.

Dear @Xu_Zhang ,

Thank you for your support. Somehow I missed the "MCUX_2.14.0_LPC55S36" entry. Following your instructions, I installed this version of the MCUXpresso SDK and now I can select the "LPCXpresso LPC55S36 board" when importing an example.

Note that I ordered the LPC5536-EVK which, obviously, hosts a LPC5536 and not a LPC55S36.

I tried the "led_blinky" example and now see that the device is set to "LPC55S36". Should that bother me?

See screenshot:

Have a nice day.

hi,danielholala

When building the sdk, you can try to select the following figure.

Hello Xu Zhang,

I tried it with a standalone SDK generated and downloaded from SDK Builder.

That does not change anything:

The examples are the same. They are depending on the board that I select and there are only LPC55S36-based boards selectable.

Hello @danielholala 

There is no problem, just use it.
