pre-built demo binaries for IMX7 ARM cortex M4

[gopinathsriniva]

Hello Everyone,

I am evaluating ARM cortex M4 in IMX7 sabre board. I can find the details about freeRTOS details and example demos in the "Getting_Started_with_FreeRTOS_BSP_for_i.MX_7Dual.pdf". Now I want to know, is there any pre-built application binaries available ? For example, in the command,

# fatload mmc 0:1 0x7F8000 hello_world.bin 

Can I get "hello_world.bin" file ?

Hi Gopinath,

I assume you already downloaded FreRTOS for i.MX7D

www.nxp.com/imx7D > Software & Tools tab > FreeRTOS™ BSP for the i.MX 7Dual ARM® Cortex®-M4 core

Here you will find Cortex-M4 examples made with different toolchains (GCC, IAR, DS5). The source code of each demo is available for the 3 toolchains, so you can genearte the bin file.

For example:

You can import hello_world.eww which is located in C:\nxp\FreeRTOS_BSP_1.0.1_iMX7D\examples\imx7d_sdb_m4\demo_apps\hello_world\iar into IAR workbench, here you can see and edit the sourcecode and generate the binary file.

Best regards,
TIC

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for reply. I have downloaded "FreeRTOS_BSP_1.0.1_iMX7D_Linux.tar.gz" package. Unfortunately this package does not have  IAR workbench project. It contains only DS5 and GCC. Can you help on this? or there any updated package available?

I got it with "FreeRTOS_iMX7D_1.0.1_WIN(REV 1.0.1)" package. 

Thanks
