[FRDM-IMX93] MCUXpresso with Zephyr 4.3.0

[jaseze01]

Hi, developer in training here! I'm trying to work with MCUXpresso in VSCode and Zephyr 4.3.0. I have been trying to import an example from the Zephyr repository for the FRDM-IMX93, "synchronization" or "hello world", but when I try to build them a "Error: could not find CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME in Cache" pops up. I have done some very-simple work with the MIMXRT1060-EVKB and MIMXRT1160-EVK with the same set-up with no problem, and the projects build just fine.  I'm not sure if I'm missing something, as I'm still trying to learns the basics of Zephyr...

Hi @jaseze01 

Did you installed the correct compile tool?

That error usually means CMake is not initialized properly.

Hi, I installed the tools following the Zephyr https://github.com/nxp-mcuxpresso/vscode-for-mcux/wiki/Zephyr-Lab-Installation-and-Preparation guidelines. I suspect that maybe it has something to do with the versions of the tools (I attach a photo of the currents versions), as the FRDM-IMX93 is a relatively "new" incorporation, and only supported via MCUXpresso in Zephyr v4.3.0. With the other dev-kits I can compile and develop my projects without problems.

Hi @jaseze01 

There is no issue here.

Please try to install v4.3 zephyr development tool.

To install zephyr, you can try to install it from VScode MCUXpresso plugin.

Best Regards,

Hi @Zhiming_Liu ! I have updated the installation, and now have the v4.3 for the Zephyr Developer. However the problem is still there...

I have revised the logs, and I think the problem originates in the Zephyr SDK:

Cmake Error at:

/mnt/.../.../zephyr/zephyr/zephyr/cmake/compiler/gcc/target.cmake:11 (message):

C compiler:

/home/.../zephyr-sdk-0.17.4/aarch64-zephyr-elf/bin/aarch64-zephyr-elf-gcc not found - Please chek your toolchain installation.

However, my zephyr-sdk-0.17.4 folder has no <aarch64-zephyr-elf> subdirectory, but <arm-zephyr-eabi> instead. Could that be it?

Hi @jaseze01 

yes, the complete installation of sdk should contain aarch64-zephyr-elf folder,you can try to delete zephyr-sdk-0.17.4 folder and reinstall it.

Best Regards,
