Why jlinkscript appears as source in CMakeLists.txt

[yfliu]

Dear support,

I am trying RT1170-EVK device with SDK 2.11.1 for Linux. My host is Ubuntu and toolchain is ARMGCC, the on-board debug probe is using JLink firmware. I can debug .elf programs using gdb and JLinkGDBServer.

When checking the CMakeLists.txt of demo_apps/hello_world, I noticed that there are following lines:

add_executable(${MCUX_SDK_PROJECT_NAME} 
"${ProjDirPath}/../evkmimxrt1170_connect_cm4_cm7side.jlinkscript"

I am wondering why .jlinkscript file is treated as project source? as my undertstanding such files are for host side JLink tools to use.

Regards,

Yanfeng

Hi,
Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
Actually, I also don't know why, in my opinion, it's not necessary to add the jlinkscript in the CMakeLists.txt.
Have a great day,
TIC
