Set up toolchain

This section contains the steps to install the necessary components required to build and run a MCUXpresso SDK demo application with the Arm GCC toolchain on Windows OS, as supported by the MCUXpresso SDK.

Install GCC Arm Embedded tool chain

Download and run the installer from GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain. This is the actual toolset (in other words, compiler, linker, and so on). The GCC toolchain should correspond to the latest supported version, as described in MCUXpresso SDK Release Notes.

Note: See Host setup for Windows OS before compiling the application.

C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools Arm Embedded\9 2019-q4-major

Reference the installation folder of the GNU Arm GCC Embedded tools for the exact path name.
