What is RTE and do we need this?

[ishwarlal]

I am trying to create a Project Template for iMRT1064 for our team according to our needs and stumbled upon a component in McuExpresso called "RTE" see screenshot.

I don't know what is RTE, searching google gives all kind of results like "Run time Environment", "Real Time Ethernet" & "Remote Terminal Emulation" etc. Can someone please put some light on the topic.

Regard

Hi @ishwarlal 

RTE stands for Run-Time Environment.This header is used by CMSIS projects and drivers.

For example if you import evkmimxrt1064_cmsis_lpuart_edma_transfer you will see that RTE_device.h is used for the CMSIS LPUART driver.

Btw, MCUXpresso v111.7.0 added support for open CMSIS packs.  See this entry for details: https://community.nxp.com/t5/MCUXpresso-IDE-Knowledge-Base/MCUXpresso-IDE-v11-7-0-Now-Available/ta-p...

All the best,
