Colors? Colors!īefore I forget: Something very easy to start with: here is where you can change the color theme in Visual Studio Code to whatever you like: Change Color Theme Workspace and Project(s)

The advantage of using such an SDK is that you have the freedom of choice and complete control, without the ‘lock-in’ into custom frameworks and dependencies from the beginning. Make sure you have the SDK for the GNU gcc: MCUXpresso SDK with files for GCC ARM Embedded NXP provides all the needed files in the MCUXpresso SDK. from my GitHub) or from the SDK/examples provided by the vendor of your silicon device, e.g. The other items you can get from examples (e.g. Item one is something you easily can write yourself.

Linker File: this defines the memory mapping plus how the application shall be linked together.

In addition it provides header files for the memory mapped device registers and peripherals like I2C, SPI, …

System: In a CMSIS environment, the startup code calls a system initialization callback (SystemInit() to set clocks, configure watchdog, …).

Startup code: this gets executed out of reset, initializes the system, memory, library and jumps to main().

Main: a file with the application main entry point (main()).

And all the files used/created here are on GitHub: SDKīeside of the compiler/linker/debugger you need some minimal files to build a project: I’m not going to use ‘fancy’ wizards or frameworks, I’m just using the base tools for a reason: to keep things simple.ĭon’t worry: it is easy. It is about creating a main file, adding a startup code and build it as a project. It is about using the most essential tools to do the job, without the need for other ‘frameworks’ unless you really want them. The goal is is to create something simple and easy you can use for your own projects. Part 2 is about creating a very simple C project. In Part 1 we have installed the necessary tools, so make sure you have completed that part. Building with Visual Studio a simple ARM Cortex-M Project (NXP K22FN512) Outline In this part I’m going to show how to create and build a project using CMake running Make or Ninja as build system. This is the second part of series or articles how to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Code for embedded development on ARM Cortex-M.
