How do we create a new project in the VSCode MCUXpresso extension if the device/board is not listed in the library?
The VSCode version is 1.135.0 and the MCUXpresso extension is 26.06.123. The MCUXpresso SDK dev is installed to version 26.06 and Arm GNU Toolchain is installed to 14.2.1.
We re-spin the code repo for LPC1768. It seems like if the part number is not in the list, we can't create the project...... (The create project button is greyed out in the attached snapshot.)
Please advise.
#VSCode #MCUXpress LPC1768FBD100
The New Project Wizard can only create projects for devices or boards that are included in an imported MCUXpresso SDK repository (or SDK Builder package). If the target device is not available in the SDK package, the wizard cannot find the required device or board definitions and therefore cannot create a new project directly.
New Project Wizard — MCUXpresso for VS Code 26.08 documentation
As a workaround, you can use MCUXpresso IDE to install the corresponding device support package and create a project for the target device there. Once the project has been successfully created and built in MCUXpresso IDE, you can then use the Import Project feature in MCUXpresso for VS Code to import the existing project and continue development within the VS Code environment.

Thank you for the workaround. We did that and it seems to be working. Quick note, MCUXpresso IDE is not fully compatible with the security standards adopted by some companies and it triggered a full scan of the computer after installation. The SHA/MCX hash is from unknown publisher. VSCode MCUXpresso is a direct installation because of the Microsoft certification. That's why users would prefer to have all the parts listed in the VSCode MCUXpresso repo.
