★Step 1: Search for and start Keil MDK-ARM from the start menu. This step may vary depending on your operating system.

★Step 2: Within the Keil MDK-ARM tool menu you can find a button to open the Pack Installer. Please click on this button.

★Step 3: If you’re using the pack installer for the first time, a welcome message will be displayed. You can uncheck the checkbox to prevent this message from appearing the next time you start the pack installer. Please continue by clicking OK.

★Step 4: The OPC pack installer is divided into two parts. On the left side, you see the Device and Boards tabs. With those menus you can filter for the exact microcontroller or board name. A board always has mounted at least one device, for example, the latest version of the i.MX RT1060 uses the MIMXRT1062CVL5A device. For a development board can exist multiple Board Support Packages (BSP). Upon selecting the desired board on the left side, you’ll see the Packs window on the right side will update accordingly. The Embedded Wizard Open-CMSIS-Packs are designed as BSPs. Therefore, you can find them by navigating to the Boards tab and searching for Embedded Wizard. This will list all BSPs which contain Embedded Wizard in its names. Additionally, the BSP name contains the development board name it is made for. To continue, please select the desired BSP on the left side. For this guide the pack named i.MX RT1060 GUIs powered by Embedded Wizard is used.

★Step 5: Upon selecting the board in the Boards tabs, you’ll see the right section of the pack installer updates automatically. As next, please navigate to the Packs tab and search for the pack named EmbeddedWizard::IMXRT1060-EVK. The names of the Embedded Wizard packs always start with EmbeddedWizard:: followed by the board name. The overview on the right side shows which packs are available for installation. If a pack is not installed, it is usually indicated by an Install button. Please press this button to initiate the pack installation. By hovering above the pack name, you can also inspect the pack metadata like the version or release notes.

★Step 6: Some packs require to accept a license agreement. Please enable the checkbox and continue by pressing Next >>.

★Step 7: The installation usually takes a moment. Once it’s done, you can see in the Packs tab that the installation button has changed its caption to Up to date. This indicates that the pack is now locally available on your hard drive and content such as examples can be imported into your IDE.

★Step 8: Now it’s time to check out which examples are available in your Embedded Wizard Open-CMSIS-Pack. To do so, please navigate to the Examples tab. As you can see, plenty of examples are available for the NXP i.MX RT1060 development board. Depending on the board you have selected in step 4, your list of available examples might look different. Nevertheless, the HelloWorld example is available in all Embedded Wizard Open-CMSIS-Packs. Please click on Copy to proceed.

★Step 9: Before copying an Open-CMSIS-Pack example, Keil MDK-ARM asks for a workspace path. This is the folder where the example will be copied. It is recommended to keep this path short, for example, C:\workspace\u_vision would be a good choice. After selecting a path, press OK to copy the example project into it.

★Step 10: As mentioned earlier, Open-CMSIS-Packs come in different variations. Some contain information about the microcontroller device, some contain software packages, and others contain board examples. When using a Board Support Pack (BSP) it is required to have installed the correct Device Family Pack (DFP). The installation of the DFP will be triggered automatically as soon as you import an example. Depending on the development board you have selected, the correct DFP will be downloaded and installed. Please continue by pressing Install.

★Step 11: Once all missing dependency packs are installed and the example is copied, Keil MDK-ARM will display the project. This project is ready-to-use, and you can build and download the Embedded Wizard GUI example right away. To do so, please press Build and verify the progress in the Build Output window.

★Step 12: For downloading the binary into your development board please select Download to initiate the flash process.

★Step 13: When inspecting the workspace folder, you will find the example sources files. The file structure is the same as in our regular build environments. For each development board, a dedicated build environment with additional useful features is available. If you are interested in starting with an MCUXpresso project or Makefile, please refer to the Getting started with NXP MCUs section.

★Step 1: Open your IAR Embedded Workbench as usual.

★Step 2: As you can see from the tool menu, IAR Embedded Workbench comes with an integrated CMSIS-Pack Manager. Please open this tool by clicking on the CMSIS-Pack Manager button as shown in the illustration below.

★Step 3: Subsequently, the IDE will ask you to save a CMSIS-enabled workspace. Please proceed by selecting a path and continuing with Save. Upon saving the workspace, it might take a moment until the CMSIS-Pack Manager has updated the pack index and other internal information. This ensures you will have access to the latest available packs such as the Embedded Wizard packs.

★Step 4: The CMSIS-Pack Manager will open in a separate window and should look as shown in the illustration below. This window must be open for the entire time you work with your CMSIS-enabled workspace. In case you close it accidentally, it will open again automatically. Within the CMSIS-Pack Manager, you can find the Boards tab, please open it. To find Embedded Wizard GUI examples, please use the search field and type Embedded Wizard. This will list all boards for which an Embedded Wizard pack is available. As next, perform a right-click on the desired board and click on Pack’s Properties.

★Step 5: Within the Pack Properties tab, you can inspect the components and examples available once the pack is installed. For this guide, a NXP i.MX RT1060 is used. Please proceed with Install.

★Step 6: Please accept the Embedded Wizard License Agreement and continue with OK. This will initiate the download and installation which usually takes a short moment. If you wish to verify the installation process, you can do so with the Console tab.

★Step 7: Once the pack is installed, please navigate back to the Pack Properties tab. In the examples section, you now can see that a copy feature is available for each of the examples. An example represents a read-to-use IDE project perfectly pre-configured for the development of an Embedded Wizard GUI. Depending on the development board you use, the list of examples may look different. Nevertheless, the HelloWorld example is available with each Embedded Wizard Open-CMSIS-Pack. Please select an example and proceed by pressing Copy.

★Step 8: As you've learned in the introduction section, an Open-CMSIS-Pack may require other packs to be installed with external software components or device information. As soon as you copy an example, the CMSIS-Pack Manager resolves all dependencies and will prompt for each of it an installation dialog. You must install these dependency packs to be able to compile and download the Embedded Wizard GUI on your development board. Please agree to the license agreements and continue by pressing OK.

★Step 9: Upon successful installation of all pack dependencies and importing of the example into your workspace folder, you can see that the left section of the CMSIS-Pack Manager now contains the list of the used software components. This list may look different depending on the selected development board. Only components which are highlighted in green are in use in the example project.

★Step 10: So far, all required actions have been taken with the CMSIS-Pack Manager. Next, please minimize the CMSIS-Pack Manager window and maximize the IAR workspace window. In the file explorer, you can now find the example’s file structure. This example project is ready-to-use and can be compiled right away by pressing Make.

★Step 11: The final step is to download the binary onto your development board. To do so, please select the Download and Debug option from the tool menu.

★Step 12: Once the binary is downloaded, start the application by pressing Go.

★Step 13: When inspecting the workspace folder, you will find the example sources files. The file structure is the same as in our regular build environments. For each development board, a dedicated build environment with additional useful features is available. If you are interested in starting with an MCUXpresso project or Makefile, please refer to the Getting started with NXP MCUs section.

★Step 1: In step 13 of the previous sections, you inspected the example’s file structure. Within it you can find a folder named Examples. This folder contains the Embedded Wizard GUI project files. With this project you can recreate the UI source code. Let’s assume you have used the recommended workspace folders from above, then you can find the Embedded Wizard GUI project in C:\workspace\u_vision\HelloWorld\IMXRT1060-EVK0x272\HelloWorld respectively C:\workspace\iar\HelloWorld\IMXRT1060-EVK0x272\HelloWorld. Depending on the used development board and example, this path may vary. Please adapt it accordingly and navigate to the GUI project file. In case you have already installed Embedded Wizard Studio, you can open HelloWorld.ewp with the right-click context menu. If you are missing the Embedded Wizard Studio, please refer to the download page.

★Step 2: Upon opening the GUI project file, you will see the start screen which lists all units used in the GUI project. The main canvas area is a part of the Application unit. Therefore, please double click it.

★Step 3: By navigating further down the project structure, you will end up displaying the GUI start screen.

★Step 4: On the right side you can find the so-called Inspector view. With it you can modify the GUI elements such as the text label which contains Hello Embedded Wizard. Please change its parameter String to Hello Open-CMSIS.

★Step 5: To recreate the GUI source files, please press the Build this profile button. You can find this feature in the tool menu.

★Step 6: For updating the GUI on your development board, you have to compile and download the binary again. This process is already explained in Step 11 and Step 12 within the introduction sections from above. Therefore, please repeat these steps. Upon successful completion, you will see the updated GUI on your development board’s screen.
