Installing i.MX8MM SDK 2.9.0 fails in MCUXpresso 11.3.0

[laodzu]

The online SDK builder now features SDKs for the i.MX8M{M,N,Q} SoCs (the Plugin SDK pane of MCUXpresso currently does not feature this), so I wanted to test this.

Having generated the SDK for evk-mimx8mm I tried to install it in a fresh installation of MCUXpresso 11.3.0 under Linux, but this fails with this error:

The SDK 'SDK_2.x_EVK-MIMX8MM' does not contain any MCUXpresso IDE compatible toolchain.

So my question - is this meant to work in MCUXpresso at all?

no, MCUXpresso doesn't include imx8 series, you can refer to the sdk doucment :

The MCUXpresso SDK is compiled and tested with these development tools:
• GCC ARM Embedded, version is 9-2020-q2-update
• IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, version is 8.50.9

Hi joanxie,

thanks for the confirmation.  I thought as much but wanted to be sure.

Best wishes
