In “Tutorial: MCUXpresso SDK with Linux, Part 1: Installation and Build with Maked” I used cmake and make to build the SDK application. In this part I’m going to use the command line gdb to debug the application on the board.

I admit: my work laptop machine is running a Windows 10 OS by default. But this does not prevent me running Linux in a Virtual Machine (VM). Each host platform has its benefits, and I don’t feel biased to one or the other, but I have started using Ubuntu more and more, simply because I have worked more on Embedded Linux projects. While I have used mostly Windows with Eclipse for NXP LPC, Kinetis and i.MX platforms in the past, I started using Ubuntu too from last year with the NXP MCUXpresso SDK. I did not find much documentation about this on the web, so I thought it might be a good idea to write a tutorial about it. So here we go…

The way in which people digest information is changing, as more distractions lead way to shorter attention spans and multi-tasking becomes even more important.  The new training series from NXP, i.MX RT Tech Minute, is intended to address this.  The need for technical information present in things like webinars, applications notes, white papers, etc. is important.  But what if you do not even know which topic you are interested in?  How do you know where to get started?

If you need to create of modify YML files describing SDK release and included SW components, you can get detailed information about a format of those YML files here:
