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
