2025年4月、当社のUniversity Programの一環として、徳島県の神山まるごと高専で jig.jp創業者・福野泰介氏が行う新入生向けの導入授業「ITブートキャンプ2025」に、ボランティア参加しました。本ブログではその体験を振り返りつつ、教育支援の現場でのMCX開発ボードの活用事例をご紹介します。

こどもパソコンIchigoJamは，LPC1114で動作する最初のバージョンが2014年に登場以来，教育の場だけに留まらず，様々な応用が広がっています．
2024年にはオープンソース化．さらに2025年にはNXPの最新マイコン：MCXシリーズのMCX-A153に対応．現在，GitHubで公開されているこのコードをMCX-A153を搭載した評価基板：FRDM-MCXA153で動作させてみるまでを解説します．

NXPのマイコン：MCXシリーズのソフトウェア開発にはMCUXpresso IDEが無料で使えます．
またさまざまなMCUXpresso IDEで使えるサンプル・コードが提供されています．ここではIDEとSDKのインストールの手順を解説します．

これを読めば，誰でも簡単に開発環境&SDKをインストールできて，サンプル・コードまで動かすことができます！

I3C温度センサ：P3T1755をMCXマイコンで動作させるサンプルコードが，NXPアプリケーション・コード・ハブで公開されています．この記事では，このサンプルコードを動作させるための手順を紹介．
必要となる機材はMCXマイコンの評価基板：FRDM-MCXN947，またはFRDM-MCXA153．これらの評価基板上にはP3T1755を搭載しているので，そのままの状態でI3Cの動作を試せます．同サンプルコードではP3T1755の単体評価基板：P3T1755DP-ARDを接続しての動作評価も可能．複数のP3T1755を接続しての動的アドレス割り当てやIBI(In-band interrupt:インバンド割込)機能も試せます．

NXPの「MCX N947」マイコンをベースに、ハンズオン形式で、画像認識サンプルコードの実装を紹介します。

This article serves as an update to the MCU-Link Debug Probe Getting Started guide.

When running firmware v3.xxx onwards, MCU-Link uses WinUSB, so make sure your firmware matches a compatible MCUXpresso IDE version.

NXP has now introduced MCU-Link Pro - the second incarnation of the MCU-Link debug probe architecture, adding several powerful capabilities and features to build on the entry level MCU-Link standalone model. This includes power/energy measurement, USB bridging and a J-Link firmware option.

An interactive tutorial on how to create your own MATLAB Simulink temperature sensor application by applying the model-based design approach, how to configure and use the i.MXRT1060 EVK using NXP MCUXpresso, a thermistor module and the IMXRT Toolbox.

Please find attached a document detailing various features related to using the IMXRT1170-EVK(B) evaluation board with MCUXpresso IDE v11.x.x and SDK v2.x.x, including details of multicore debugging and how to enable SWO trace on this MCU.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v11.2.0 (build 4120) is now available. This is a major new version of the IDE, and contains new features, enhancements and bug fixes over the previous versions, including latest announced MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.1 .

Please find attached a document detailing how to debug the Kinetis KE0x range of MCUs via LinkServer (CMSIS-DAP) debug connections using MCUXpresso IDE version 11.1.1 (or later).

This document and updates within the version 11.1.1 release of MCUXpresso IDE address an issue seen if attempting to debug these parts in earlier versions of MCUXpresso IDE.

Note: it is expected that the issues described in the attached document will be addressed in updated SDK releases for this range of MCUs for use with MCUXpresso IDE version 11.1.1 or later.

Yours,

MCUXpresso IDE Support

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.1 (build 3241) is now available.

This is a maintenance release that builds upon the previous MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.0, and we recommend that all existing users download and install this new version. It also incorporates a minor update to the integrated MCUXpresso Config Tools.

An issue has been identified in MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.0 with SDK 2.7 that in certain circumstances can cause the IDE to issue one or more erroneous duplicate file error popups when importing SDK examples or creating new SDK-based projects.

NXP provides MCUXpresso SDKs that are configured for use with our standard evaluation boards. These can be used when carrying out your initial evaluation of our MCUs and early development work. However, in most cases you will reach the point of having your own development or production board. This will mean modifying the pins, clocks and other configuration settings from the evaluation board originally used, generally using the MCUXpresso Config Tools, to match your own board. This will initially be done on a per-project basis.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.0 (build 3209) is now available. This is a major new version of the IDE, and contains many new features and enhancements over the previous MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.1 and earlier releases.

MCUXpresso IDE is currently supported on macOS 10.12 to 10.14.

In macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple have introduced a new additional "signing" mechanism for software that is download outside of the Apple App Store, know as "Notarization". Currently MCUXpresso IDE for macOS is signed using NXP's Apple Developer ID, but has not yet gone through Apple's notarization process. This means that by default you will not be able to install if you are running macOS 10.15.

As part of the MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.1 release, we had to make some major changes to our LinkServer debugging mechanism to support the latest silicon revision of the LPC55xx family of devices (revision 1B) and the more secure debug request mechanism required by these parts. Such silicon is supplied on LPC55S69-EVK boards marked Revision A2 (or later) on the board silkscreen.

An issue has been identified that impacts the debugging of older LPC devices using SEGGER Jlink via the version of MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.1 released on 4th September 2019.

This issue will be seen only when debugging an LPC device that use the IDE's Preinstalled part support i.e. parts that do not require an SDK - a debug operation via SEGGER Jlink will lead to an error as below:

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.1 (build 2563) is now available.

This is a maintenance release that builds upon the previous MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.0 release, and we recommend that all existing users download and install this new version. It also incorporates a minor update to the integrated MCUXpresso Config Tools.

The Windows installer for SEGGER J-Link has changed behaviour for version after V6.44 i.e. after the version installed with V11.0.0 of the IDE. Previously each SEGGER installation was located in a versioned directory e.g. JLink_V644g, now each new installation will by default, write to C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink.

This change will only impact Windows users who manually install a later version of SEGGER J-Link for use within MCUXpresso IDE.

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.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.0 (build 2516) is now available.

This is a major new version of the IDE, and contains many new features and enhancements over the previous MCUXpresso IDE v10.3.1 and earlier releases. The attached presentation, recommended viewing for all users (new or experienced), provides an overview of many of the major changes, as well as things to be aware of when upgrading from an earlier release

This article discusses the use of SDK Trustzone example (Hello World) for the LPC55S69 MCU within MCUXpresso IDE.

The following are required to follow this blog post:

1. MCUXpresso IDE Version 11.0.x
2. LPCXpresso 55S69 EVK development board
3. LPCXpresso 55S69 EVK version 2.6 SDK

When using the QN9080 with SDK v2.2 2019-01-29, or earlier, there is an issue in the SDK internal data which can lead to MCUXpresso IDE v11.0.0 failing to set consistent floating point options when importing multiple examples.

First Release v1.00 : 22nd February 2019

Please find attached a document detailing how to create, build and debug LPC55xx multicore applications using the LPC55S69-EVK LPCXpresso55S69 Development Board with MCUXpresso IDE v10.3.1 and MCUXpresso SDK v2.5.0

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v10.3.1 (build 2233) is now available.

This is a maintenance release that builds upon the previous MCUXpresso IDE v10.3.0 release, and we recommend that all existing users download and install this new version.

Updated v1.02  1st March 2019

Please find attached a document detailing various features related to using the iMXRT1060-EVK evaluation board with MCUXpresso IDE v10.3.x and SDK v2.5, including details of how to enable SWO trace on this MCU.

Updated to include a section on the MIMXRT1064 EVK.
