I think this might be late since I was using Ubuntu 18.04 until recently when I upgraded to latest version 19.04

Tried to install Mcuxpresso IDE I encountered some dependency errors but managed to solved it. I had already replied to question about it but decided #to write main post about it.

In March of 2017, NXP released the debut version of the MCUXpresso SDK along with an IDE and set of Config Tools under the same MCUXpresso name.  Since that time we have seen an amazing response from developers downloading and using this suite of software and tools.  The number of MCUXpresso SDK downloads recently surpassed 100,000 unique downloads.

As the NXP and former Freescale microcontrollers were unified under one company, we knew we needed to provide a consistent and efficient software development platform – one that would allow you  the flexibility to develop on a wide range on NXP microcontrollers without the need to relearn a new software architecture or re-invent basic enablement functionality.

Machine Learning at the Edge:

eIQ Software for i.MX Applications Processors

Developing machine learning (ML) applications for embedded devices can be a daunting task. For the traditional embedded developer, the learning curve can be quite steep, as there are numerous decisions that must be made and new jargon that must be learned. Which framework should I choose? Which model best meets the requirements of my application and how do I know when it’s good enough? What “size” microcontroller or application processor do I need? The questions are many and figuring out how to get started can prove to be a challenge.
