Hello,
I want to start a new project with the iMXRT10xx series processor.
I understand I can use MCUXpresso or VSCode with MCUXpresso for VSCode.
Are they the same but just on a different IDE?
Or is MCUXpresso for VSCode based on Zephyr and MCUXpressor not?
So when using VSCode with the extension, I can select between MCUXpress or Zephyr?
If I understand correctly MCUXpress will take care of configuration of the chip resources like Uarts and I2C.
To my knowledge Zephyr does the same (in a more generic way?).
So I have to choose between them?
Hi,
MCUXpresso is an ecosystem of software and tools supporting NXP devices with ARM Cortex-M (https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/software/development-software/mcuxpresso-software-and-tools...)
"MCUXpresso for VS Code" is an VS Code extension supporting NXP ARM Cortex-M devices using various software repositories, including Zephyr and MCUXpresso SDK (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=NXPSemiconductors.mcuxpresso)
Documentation about how to use this extension : https://github.com/nxp-mcuxpresso/vscode-for-mcux/wiki
A step by step guide for using VS Code + Zephyr + RT10xx device is located here: https://github.com/nxp-mcuxpresso/vscode-for-mcux/wiki/Training-Zephyr-Getting-Started-RT1060
Regards,
Cristian
