Roll over image to zoom in

The MCUXpresso Config Tools is an integrated suite of configuration tools that help guide users from first evaluation to production software development when designing with Arm® Cortex®-M-based devices from NXP, including its general purpose, crossover and wireless-enabled MCUs. These configuration tools allow developers to quickly build a custom SDK and leverage pins, clocks and peripherals to generate initialization C code or register values for custom board support.
The following tools help you design with the MCUXpresso Config Tools.

  • MCUXpresso IDE - Comes with integrated configuration tools suite for an easy pin, clocks and peripherals configurations. Configure a device, edit, compile and debug with GCC and Eclipse-based IDE.
  • MCUXpresso Config Tools - Standalone version which includes all the configuration tools in a one installation. Designed for an IDE independent usage.
  • MCUXpresso SDK Builder - Contains an online version of selected tools. Create a custom SDK based on your specific evaluation platform or Arm® Cortex®-M-based MCU and adjust the configuration directly in your browser

All tools and runtime software are complimentary. The assembly and C source code are provided under permissive open-source licensing. Support is provided through the MCUXpresso Config Tools Community Forum.

NOTE: Supported devices can be found by viewing the MCUXpresso Supported Devices Table on the NXP community or by visiting the SDK Builder directly and clicking on "Select Development Board." Additional supported NXP devices include JN, QN and DSC product families.

Features

  • The MCUXpresso Config Tools are fully integrated into the MCUXpresso IDE, and also available as a standalone download for use with other supported IDEs, including Arm Keil, IAR EWARM and others. If using the MCUXpresso IDE, no additional download of Config Tools is required.

Pins Tool

  • Assigns internal signals to external pins, sets electrical properties, I/O conflict resolution options and generates ANSI-C source code that drops into the MCUXpresso SDK environment. Board expansion headers can be viewed and routed to the connected signals on the MCU

Clocks Tool

  • For a graphical representation of the MCU clock tree system and interactive user controls with automatic clock setup capability as well as assistance with system fine-tuning

Peripherals Tool

  • Enables selection of desired peripherals (i.e. UART, ADC, SPI, etc.) and generates initialization code, and configures higher level application code for enabling software technologies (USB, Filesystems, LwIP, FreeMASTER). Settings can be imported, exported and reused within the Component Use Case Library

Project Updater

  • Works directly with existing SDK-based IDE projects with generated Pins, Clocks and Peripheral source files

Device Configuration

  • Allows Device Configuration Data (DCD) commands sequence config for pre-initialization of devices at boot time. Generated binary configurations can be utilized directly within the MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool

Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)

  • Configures protection and isolation of sensitive parts of the application. Generated configurations can be exported for use within the MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool

Project Cloning

  • Creates a standalone SDK project based on an example application available within SDK release
