How much Visual Studio Enterprise is compatible for NXP based(LPC54608) development and compilation

Question

Hi,

I have a ready project in MCUExpresso IDE. Its based on a LPC54608 microcontroller. I have Visual Studio Enterprise licensed version now. I now have to migrate project from MCUXpresso to Visual studio enterprise IDE. I wanted to know how much its worth to work on LPC54608 in Visual studio enterprise? Does IDE has library support and support for building the code? Kindly let me know.

Hello @DD,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Visual Studio IDE supports many languages like C/C++, Python… and many features like compiling, building, debugging, deploying. Though Visual Studio also supports many kinds of projects, may not directly support the project that you developed in MCUExpresso IDE.

Some additional extensions or components(perhaps from third-party, they may contain corresponding library support) may be needed when you migrate the projects from MCUXpresso IDE to Visual Studio IDE. You may need to follow some guides like documentations(maybe from MCUExpresso side) to install necessary tools and compile then debug your project in Visual Studio IDE.

Developing, building, and debugging projects is normally based on the specific project types and languages. Not sure the specific language and project type that you are going to use, here are some corresponding documents for you to refer to:

Organize and edit code in Visual Studio

Compile and build in Visual Studio

Debugger documentation - Visual Studio (Windows)

Have a great day.

Sincerely,

Tianyu
