Hi I was wondering if MCUXpresso support C++? or it is a pure C base IDE?

Hi Lal,

I wondering why you think the MCUXpresso IDE would be for C only? Because it supports with its toolchain assembly, C and C++ programming.

I hope this helps,

Erich

I think (but I am not sure) the earlier versions of KDS (kinetics design studio) were limited to C only (as I said I am not sure), so that is why I was wondering if MCUXpresso is a C only IDE. But I just checked the Latest KDS (kinetics design studio) it also allows C++.

Any way thanks for you help Erich.

Regards

Lal

Hi Ishwar,

KDS has supported assembly, C and C++ from the beginning too. It was only that the Kinetis SDK (not the IDE!) were providing C only projects. But the IDE (and the GNU for ARM Embedded) always has supported C++ too.

Erich
