マイコンを使った開発において最も基本的なペリフェラルの一つであるGPIO（General Purpose Input/Output）をLEDの点滅を例に使い方を解説します。

GPIOは多くのマイコン開発者が最初に学ぶペリフェラルです。GPIOを使ってLEDを光らせてみたいけれど、「データシートの見方がわからない」「ピンの設定方法がわからない」という方も多いのではないでしょうか。本記事ではマイコン開発初心者向けに、FRDM-MCXA153を使ったGPIO入門を解説します。データシートや回路図からピン情報を読み解き、Pins Toolを使った設定を行いながら、最終的に外部LEDの制御を体験します。

Dear sdk developers,

During our development, more and more components are joining our sdk. It is necessary for the component sections recorded in yml data to follow a simple and effective naming convention, so that they can be well organized, identified and processed.

Here we provide the doc of Yml Data Record Component Naming Conventions, please kindly review and follow the rules in your future development.

If you need to create you own SuperSet, following steps should help you.

First of all you need mcu-sdk-2.0 repository with current submodules. Then you need to create some release config e.g. release_config.yml on you disk. Release config format can be found here. Devices, boards or kits names referenced in release config are case sensitive!

New features update:

•  SDKGEN-982Support adding all folder content recursively

        Generator now supports adding all files and all files of its subfolders under some directory recursively with wildcard.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso Config Tools v6 are now available.

MCUXpresso Configuration Tools is a product with set of tools that help users of all levels with a Cortex-M-based MCU solution.

New features update:

•  SDKGEN-967Support to automatically hide doc files in Xtensa workspace

         Previously for Xtensa toolchain, developers need to use "hidden: true" in yml to hide documentation files in the                 workspace.
         Now generator can filter files by type attribute to bypass doc type file for Xtensa, which means files with .txt .rtf                 .html .htm .readme .pdf .Doxyfile .xls .css extensions will not be added into the Xtensa workspace.

Hi Team,

I would like to share python script for yml verification. It compares yml record with content of physical component folder. Provided information is:

• Print list of components in yml.
• Show which files are in yml, but not on disk.
• Show which files are on disk, but not in yml.

Comprehensive information about SDK SW components and SDK release describing YML can be found in the Yml data record guide here:

http://10.193.108.154:4000/mcu-sdk-generator/doc/Yml%20data%20record%20guide.html#add-a-middleware-y...

Example

We need to build a dependency from the eIQ component to the CMSIS DSK Library component.

New features update:

•  SDKGEN-924Support to automatically link secure and non-secure projects in Mcuxpresso IDE

        This feature supports to link trustzone projects. In MCUXpresso IDE, if you select a secure project or non-secure         project, the other trustzone paired project will be selected automatically.
        In order to enable the feature, "linked_project" need to be set for both projects.

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:

https://bitbucket.sw.nxp.com/projects/MCUCORE/repos/mcu-sdk-generator/browse/doc/Yml%20data%20record...

New features update:

•  SDKGEN-865Support IAR compiler optimization strategy flag for library projects

        Compiler Optimization flags are supported for IAR application and library projects:

        1. -On / -Ol / -Om / -Oh / -Oh -Ssize / -Oh -Sspeed / -Oh -Sbalance / --no_size_contraints

Non-production mode (debug mode - without the production flag):

• Returns 0 if everything is ok
• Returns 1 if there are major cases failed, anyway the process will passed.
• Returns 2 if there are critical cases failed, process aborts

SDK Release data tables are outputs of the SDK Generator core. These tables are actually YML files, which are inputs to next phases of the SDK generation process, like the SDK manifest generation, SDK release deployment data file generation, CMSIS pack generation and the Package Builder. The data tables are included into the SDK release superset.

New features update:

• KPSDK-26034components under components folder should be set "type". Newly added types are as following:

       Abstraction Layer: abstraction_layer ------- Extensions of SDK drivers unifying API

       Software Components: software_component ------- Pure SW components 

       Board Components: board_component ------ Drivers of on-board devices (drivers for devices on the evaluation boards)

New features update:

SDKGEN-737 Support DSP project with Cadence IDE for HIFI4

• Cadence Xtensa Xplorer, as a new toolchain, has been supported in sdk generator, and yml configure rule align with existent toolchains.
  You can generate xtensa project in two way if board supports this toolchain :
  
  • Add 'xtensa' toolchain in release configure yml
  • Run batch with parameter -t xtensa

New features update:

• SDKGEN-829 Support debug component and debug mode
  • The debug component will only be visible when generator is running in debug mode. User can use parameter "--debug_mode" to enter debug mode. Without --debug_mode, these components will not appear in projects/manifest/packages/cmsis pack
  • The debug component should be added into yml data record with debug_support: true
    For example, add tag in I2C component yml:

New features updates:

• SDKGEN-778 Support to dump minimum merged yml information without generating all IDE projects by passing parameter “-d”

       To quickly parse SDK examples list for the special board then create CI test scope, you can get a minimum merged yaml information that dumped by SDK generator script with "-d" parameter.

New features update:

• SDKGEN-724 Set different log level for "internal" projects.

       "Internal" examples, like some library projects, are not released.  Therefore some attributes like "brief" and "version" are not required strictly. The generator has downgraded the log level from error to warning. In production mode, they won’t break down the cmd run.
