For users migrating from the current v10.0.0 release of MCUXpresso IDE, we recommend that new debug launch configurations are used:

Delete existing launch configurations

Sometimes the contents or options specified in the debug launch configurations used by MCUXpresso IDE can change between versions. Thus when moving to a new version of the MCUXpresso IDE, we would recommend deleting any existing debug launch configurations within your project. These files are typically named "<projectname> <debug solution>Debug.launch" and "<projectname> <debug solution>Release.launch".

The easiest way to do this is to right click on a project in Project Explorer and select:

Launch Configurations -> Delete Launch Configurations

from the context sensitive menu. The IDE will then automatically create a fresh set of launch configurations the next time that you start a debug session. Note: you may need to reapply any modifications you made to your launch configurations in your previous version of MCUXpresso IDE.

Release Notes v10.0.2 (July 2017)

• Fixed an issue where an MCU provided in both SDK and pre-installed support (e.g. LPC5411x) could in some circumstances erroneously reselect part support for a project from the wrong source
• Solved an issue with attempting to install a non-IDE-compatible SDK into a non-default location
• Solved some issues with creating projects in non-default locations
• Fixed an issue with the Properties view displaying information for the wrong device in some circumstances (for pre-installed parts)
• Fixed an issue with incorrect dependency selection in project wizards in some circumstances when switching between boards
• It is now possible to create makefile projects for SDK MCUs
• Enhanced the Memory Configuration Editor to give an error if there is no RAM defined for a project
• Enhanced the Heap & Stack Editor to allow heap size to be set to zero
• Added a "Create Srecord" option to the Binary Utilities menu
• Implemented a port auto-discovery mechanism for LinkServer, SEGGER and P&E Micro debug sessions, to improve concurrent debug session behavior
• Improved editing of launch configurations via double-click, and also improved their presentation in the Project Explorer
• Fixed some issues with manually generated launch configurations (including non-stop setting)
• Added probe icons in the "Launch Configuration Selection" dialog
• Fixed a failure to display registers for certain peripherals in Peripheral View for SDK-based MCUs
• Resolved an issue with Peripherals failing to display if a '_' character was used in a register name
• Fixed some issues with the semihosting console:
  • Space/newline characters were occasionally lost when printing only a single character
  • Empty strings were sometimes mishandled
• Fixed an issue with "Terminate All" in some circumstances when multiple debug connections were active   
• Improved synchronization of the state of MCUXpresso IDE's blue debug button on the toolbar with the one on the Quickstart Panel, particularly when moving between tabs
• Stopped the Registers view triggering a null pointer error when an n/a value was clicked
• Fixed a LinkServer issue with the setting of watchpoints when debugging Cortex-M0/M0+ based MCUs
• Fixed an issue with auto-core selection when debugging triple-core LPC43xx devices
• Fixed an issue with display of performance counters in LinkServer SWO Trace
• LinkServer FreeRTOS Thread Aware Debug is now only available in all-stop debug connections, not in non-stop.  However, FreeRTOS TAD views are still available for non-stop connections
• Fixed an issue with LinkServer debug connections losing target control when an attempt was made to use more hardware breakpoint units than were implemented by the MCU
• Fixed an issue where peripherals could fail to be displayed in LinkServer debug connections in some circumstances
• Enhanced LinkServer support for debugging RAM-only projects
• Reduced the startup time for LinkServer debug sessions
• Improved the performance of LinkServer semihosting
• Enhanced LinkServer to allow restricted parsing of the MCU debug AP bus, allowing support for MCUs with incomplete Coresight implementations
  • Debug of Kinetis KL28 MCUs is now supported via LinkServer
• Fixed an issue with MCUXpresso IDE mistakenly attempting to use JTAG instead of SWD connections for certain CMSIS-DAP probes with multicore MCUs that have no JTAG support in hardware
• Fixed an issue with MCUXpresso IDE in some circumstances trying to make a LinkServer multicore debug connection to a slave core without correctly selecting the core
• Fixed the Save button for the LinkServer SWO Trace ITM console
• LinkServer no longer leaves the MCU's CPU in debug mode when terminating a debug connection (so semihosted I/O will now hard fault, rather than causing the CPU to enter debug)
• Made various improvements to the LinkServer GUI flash programmer
•  Upgraded to a later version of the SEGGER software (v6.16b)
•  Improved SEGGER support, including:
  • Support for concurrent debugging via multiple SEGGER probes
  • Improved SEGGER launch configuration UI, providing more options directly and adding a new Startup tab
  • Fixed an issue with terminating a debug session when multiple SEGGER debug sessions are active
  • Enhanced automatic part selection for SEGGER debug connections of pre-installed MCUs
  • Changed the SEGGER device dropdown to accept free-form text
  • Fixed an issue seen when debugging with an external SEGGER GDB server, which triggered telnet console issues
  • SEGGER server errors now appear in the dialog when debug connections fail
  • Fixed a server shutdown when a debug session was terminated to leave the board in a running state
• Upgraded to a later version of the P&E Micro plugin (v3.0.3)
• Improved P&E Micro support, including:
  • Support for concurrent debugging via multiple P&E Micro probes
  • Fixed an issue with the Quickstart Teminate/Build/Debug button when used with P&E Micro debug connections
• Various other bug-fixes and UI tweaks, including:
  • Quickstart Panel floating point options made device specific        
  • Added a link to the Error Log view in the invalid SDK exception error dialog
  • Fixed a LinkServer semihosting input issue (e.g. scanf  needing extra carriage returns)
  • Fixed an issue with handling the LPC5411x SDK versus preinstalled support board selection
  • Removed non-stop Probe Discovery options that had been presented for the LinkServer GUI Flash Programmer Mass erase function
  • Added an option to the Project Wizard to allow import of "miscellaneous" files from SDK project structure and SDK components into the generated project
  • Fixed an issue with library project creation pulling in startup code
• Changed the name of the Linux installer from .run to .bin to avoid issues with the Flexera download system
• Fixed the Linux P&E Micro udev rules setup for users who have Kinetis Design Studio installed
• Documentation fixes and minor enhancements to reflect product changes
• Enhancements to LPC84x support, including ROM divide support  in the new project wizard
• Added PN7xxxx to the list of pre-installed MCUs  
• Added QN9080-specific LinkServer debug support
