Need help with NXP IMX 1050evkb

I’ve done C Programming. Now, I’m trying to learn basics of embedded development. I just bought an NXP 1050 evaluation kit. But it does not align with the basic steps mentioned on the NXP Getting Started guide. - It doesn’t have an accelerometer project in built. I tried installing the driver but the Link takes me to build an SDK. And the guide says to install the SDK but I can’t find any installable files there. All the videos in there are too old.

Can somebody help?

Hi @hatanmaek,

Of course! Glad you are exploring the world of embedded development using NXP.

If you are following the Getting Started Guide, you will be instructed to use MCUXpresso IDE and a downloadable SDK zip for development, but perhaps its good time to use the MCUXpresso extension for VSCode instead for a more modern development process. You can still use the SDK Builder to get the SDK package, if you already downloaded the "ARM GCC / MCUXpresso for VS Code" as the Toolchain / IDE option:

If not, don't worry, you can download the SDK from VS Code directly instead.

With respect to VS Code, here is the full documentation that explains in great detail how to install, configure, and develop with MCUXpresso on VS Code. If you are getting started, make sure to download the "MCUXpresso SDK Developer" package from the Software Kits section, both ARM components, and all three utilities marked under Debug Probes Software when installing the extension.

Then install the SDK you previously downloaded by following the "Import standalone MCUXpresso SDK zip archive" section of this chapter of the documentation.

Alternatively, if the SDK you downloaded didn't work or wasn't for the correct toolchain, you can download the correct one by following the "Import MCUXpresso SDK using SDK Builder" section of the previously mentioned chapter instead.

Important note! the SDK of the EVKB-RT1050 is not compatible with the EVK-RT1050 (and vice versa) so make sure to download the correct SDK for your board.

Please follow the steps described previously and let me know if you encounter any obstacles or have any further inquiries along the way.

BR,
Edwin.
