NXP Sensor SDK

NXP Sensor SDK using Open-CMSIS-Pack

Proof of concept for NXP Sensor SDK using Open-CMSIS-Pack csolution - CMSIS Project Manager.

Demonstrates a scalable solution for sensor examples using multiple boards and shields.

Projects are using software layers with specified standard interfaces.

Examples have been taken from NXP ISSDK pack (slightly modified) and extended with CMSIS Project Manager YML files.

ISSDK Sensor examples

IoT Sensing SDK (ISSDK) examples for various sensors are located in directory examples/issdk/sensors.

Projects are described with CMSIS Project Manager input files (YML format) and are using CMSIS software packs (Open-CMSIS-Pack format).

The projects consists of:

• application with middleware
• board software layer
• shield software layer

Software Prerequisites

• Visual Studio Code with Arm Keil Studio Pack extension
• CMSIS-Toolbox (manged though vcpkg)
• Arm Compiler for Embedded (managed through vcpkg)
• CMSIS packs provided in this repository mapped as software packs (not published via the CMSIS-Pack index):
  • ISSDK - IoT Sensing SDK
  • EVK-MIMXRT1060_BSP when using NXP EVK-MIMXRT1060 board
  • MIMXRT1062_DFP when using NXP EVK-MIMXRT1060 board
  • FRDM-K22F_BSP when using NXP FRDM-K22F board
  • MK22F51212_DFP when using NXP FRDM-K22F board
  • LPCXpresso55S69_BSP when using NXP LPCXpresso55S69 board
  • LPC55S69_DFP when using NXP LPCXpresso55S69 board
  • LPCXpresso54114_BSP when using NXP LPCXpresso54114 board
  • LPC54114_DFP when using NXP LPCXpresso54114 board

Packs are installed using cpackget add <pack_path>/<pack_vendor>.<pack_name>.pdsc

Configuring examples for specific target

Examples have already been configured for various targets with compatible board and shield layers.

Configuring a specific target:

• Open <sensor_name>.csolution.yml
  • Add target under target-types:
    • Specify target name type: <target_name>
    • Specify board name board: <board_name> or device name device: <device_name>
• Detect compatible board and shield layers by running
  cbuild setup <sensor_name>.csolution.yml --context-set --context <project>.<build_type>+<target_type>
• Open <sensor_name>.cbuild-idx.yml and examine detected target-configurations and their Board-Layer and Shield-Layer variables.
• Copy desired Board-Layer and Shield-Layer variables to <sensor_name>.csolution.yml under target-types: variables:.

Building the examples

1. Go to directory examples/issdk/sensors/<sensor_name>

2. Activate environment vcpkg-configuration.json

3. Activate solution and Build the selected context(s) using Arm CMSIS Solution extension within Visual Studio Code

   Alternatively use the cbuild command line tool to create the executable for specified project, build and target type

   cbuild <sensor_name>.csolution.yml --packs --update-rte --context <project>.<build_type>+<target_type>
