Build an example application

Build an example application#

To build the hello_world demo application, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the desired demo application workspace. Most example application workspace files can be located using the following path:

    <install_dir>/boards/<board_name>/<example_type>/<application_name>/<core_type>/iar

    Using the MIMXRT1180-EVK hardware platform as an example, the hello_world workspace is located in:

    <install_dir>/boards/evkmimxrt1180/demo_apps/hello_world/cm33/iar/hello_world_demo_cm33.eww

    Other example applications may have additional folders in their path.

  2. Select the desired build target from the drop-down menu.

    The below lists project configurations (build targets) supported across MCUXpresso SDK projects:

    • Debug – Compiler optimization is set to low, and debug information is generated for the executable. The linker file is RAMlinker, where text and data section is put in internal TCM.

    • Release – Compiler optimization is set to high, and debug information is not generated. The linker file is RAM linker, where text and data section is put in internal TCM.

    • flexspi_nor_debug – Project configuration is same as the debug target. The linker file is flexspi_nor linker, where text is put in flash and data put in TCM.

    • flexspi_nor_release – Project configuration is same as the release target. The linker file is flexspi_nor linker, where text is put in flash and data put in TCM.

    • hyperram_debug – Project configuration is same as the debug target. The linker file is HYPERRAM linker, where text is put in internal TCM and data put in HYPERRAM.

    • hyperram_release – Project configuration is same as the release target. The linker file is HYPERRAM linker, where text is put in internal TCM and data put in HYPERRAM.

    • hyperram_txt_debug – Project configuration is same as the debug target. The linker file is HYPERRAM_txt linker, where text and data section is put in HYPERRAM.

    • hyperram_txt_release – Project configuration is same as the release target. The linker file is HYPERRAM_txt linker, where text and data section is put in HYPERRAM.

    • flexspi_nor_hyperram_release - Project configuration is same as the release target. The linker file is flexspi_nor_hyperram linker, where text is put in flash and data put in HYPERRAM.

    • flexspi_nor_hyperram_debug – Project configuration is same as the debug target. The linker file is flexspi_nor_hyperram linker, where text is put in flash and data put in HYPERRAM. For this example, select hello_world_demo– debug.

  3. To build the demo application, click Make, highlighted in red in Figure 2.

  4. The build completes without errors.
