Getting Started with west Build Environment

These steps are intended for GitHub users working with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) demo applications from the GitHub MCUXpresso SDK repository.

Follow the steps in the order presented in Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK Repository to install the west environment.

Command Line to Generate/Build Projects

Example: w_uart on kw47evk

To build the w_uart example for the kw47evk board using the IAR toolchain and generate an IDE project, use the following command:

west build -b kw47evk examples/wireless_examples/bluetooth/w_uart/bm/ \ --toolchain=iar -t guiproject -Dcore_id=cm33_core0 --pristine

Argument	Description
-b kw47evk	Specifies the board
--toolchain=iar	Specifies the toolchain (default is armgcc)
-t guiproject	Creates an IDE project
-Dcore_id=cm33_core0	Core ID, if available
--pristine	Cleans the build folder before building

Use the following steps in order to build and flash the BLE software demo applications on all toolchains presented in:

• Building and flashing the BLE software demo applications using IAR Embedded Workbench

• Building and flashing the BLE Software Demo applications using MCUXpresso IDE

• Building and flashing the BLE software demo applications using Visual Studio Code
