Install CMSIS Device Pack
After the MDK tools are installed, Cortex® Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) device packs must be installed to fully support the device from a debug perspective. These packs include things such as memory map information, register definitions and flash programming algorithms. Follow these steps to install the appropriate CMSIS pack. Please use MDK-Arm Microcontroller Development Kit (Keil)® version 5.38.1 or above.
- Open the MDK IDE, which is called µVision. Inside the IDE, select the "Pack Installer" icon
- In the Pack Installer window, search for "MCXW" to bring up the MCXW71 family. Click on the MCXW7XX name, and then in the right-hand side you'll see the NXP:
MCXW71_DFPpack. Click on the "Install" button next to the pack. This process requires an internet connection to successfully complete - After the installation finishes, close the Pack Installer window and return to the µVision IDE
Build the Example Application
The following steps will guide you through opening the hello_world application. These steps may change slightly for other example applications as some of these applications may have additional layers of folders in their path.

If not already done, open the desired demo application workspace in:
<install_dir>/boards/<sdk_board_name>/<example_type>/<application_name>/mdk - Select Debug configuration
- Do right-click on the project and select the project options:
- Now, go to the Debug option and select CMSIS-DAP ARMv8-M Debugger. Click on the OK button
- To build the demo project, select the "Rebuild" button, highlighted in red
