Introduction#

MCUXpresso Config Tools are a suite of evaluation and configuration tools that help guide users from first evaluation to production software development. This document describes how to install the MCUXpresso Config Tools software. The software is available as an online version (using a web browser) and also as a desktop application installed on the host machine. The MCUXpresso Config Tools are used for board level configuration and code-generation, including pin routing with electrical and functional property settings, clock input/output setup with graphical diagram views, and peripheral initialization with parameter validation and quick start selections.

The MCUXpresso Config Tools are for general use and aim to help hardware designers, software engineers, embedded engineers, and field application engineers (FAEs).

The MCUXpresso Config Tools support:

Graphical views to create and change pins, clocks, and peripherals configuration
Creation of C source code for device initialization that can be used in any IDE
Package view with all pins and routable peripherals
View of routed pins
Registers with initialization values
Clock diagram view with highlighted clock paths
Update existing IDE projects with generated C source code from pins, clocks, and peripherals

Note: If macOS is set to Traditional Chinese, MCUXpresso Config Tools starts in English and not Chinese. This is intended.
