    (3) IAR v8.50
  • Linux host
    arm-none-eabi-gcc

• Platforms supported by this project

  1. i.MXRTyyyy
  2. i.MXRTxxx
  3. LPC

• Other host system requirements

  1. Git

Use i.MXRT1170 platform as an example

-- Note --
All platforms in target directory are decoupled. So if you only focus on one platform, after clone the whole sfw project, you can delete other platforms in target directory directly.

1. Install SCons.
   Ubuntu, Debian: $ sudo apt-get install scons
   RPM-based (Red Hat, SUSE, Fedora ...): $ sudo yum install scons
2. Install the gcc toolchain like: gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major
3. Clone this project.
   $ git clone https://github.com/NXPmicro/sfw.git
4. Enter the evkmimxrt1170 directory.
   $ cd target/evkmimxrt1170/
5. Config the evkmimxrt1170 project.
   $ scons --menuconfig
6. Set 'EXEC_PATH' as gcc toolchain install path for CROSS_TOOL == 'gcc' in sfwprofile.py.
   Below is an example:
   EXEC_PATH = r'/opt/share/toolchain/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/bin'
   Alternatively, 'SFW_EXEC_PATH' can be added into Linux environment variable to cover the 'EXEC_PATH'.
7. Build the image with gcc toolchain.
   $ scons
   then sfw.bin image is built in sfw/target/evkmimxrt1170/build directory.
8. Download the image.
   Use DapLink drag-n-drop or other tools to download image.

1. Clone this project.
   git clone https://github.com/NXPmicro/sfw.git
2. Enter the directory sfw/target/evkmimxrt1170.
3. Double click the batch file env.bat.
4. Config the evkmimxrt1170 project.
   scons --menuconfig
5. Build and download the image.
   • with gcc toolchain
     (1) Obtain gcc toolchain from ARM or MinGW website and install to the Windows host.
     (2) Set 'EXEC_PATH' as gcc toolchain install path for CROSS_TOOL == 'gcc' in sfwprofile.py.
     Below is an example:
     EXEC_PATH = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain\9 2020-q2-update\bin'
     Alternatively, 'SFW_EXEC_PATH' can be added into Windows environment variable to cover the 'EXEC_PATH'.
     (3) Build the image.
     scons
     (4) Download the image.
     Use DapLink drag-n-drop or other tools to download image.
   • with IAR IDE
     (1) Create IAR project.
     scons --ide=iar
     (2) Enter the directory sfw/target/evkmimxrt1170/iar.
     (3) Double-click the IAR project file sfw.eww.
     (4) Click the "Make" button to build.
     (5) Click the "Download" button to download.
   • with KEIL IDE
     (1) Create keil project.
     scons --ide=mdk5
     (2) Enter the directory sfw/target/evkmimxrt1170/mdk.
     (3) Double-click the keil project file sfw.uvprojx.
     (4) Click the "Build" button to build.
     (5) Click the "Download" button to download.
