| - | Pixy currently uses [[http://www.keil.com/arm/mdk.asp|Keil MDK-ARM]]. We were one of the first users of the LCP4300 series from NXP and Keil was the only toolchain with comprehensive support. | + | Pixy currently uses [[http://www.keil.com/arm/mdk.asp|Keil MDK-ARM version 5]]. |

| To compile the firmware with Keil, you just point the IDE to the "workspace.uvmpw" workspace file in ~src/device/main\_m4. It will open a workspace with 4 different projects: main\_m4, main\_m0, libpixy\_m0, libpixy\_m4. Compile the 4 projects in this order: libpixy\_m4, libpixy\_m0, main\_m0, then finally the main\_m4 project. The main\_m4 project will create a firmware.hex output file that you can then upload into Pixy using [[wiki:v2:Uploading_New_Firmware|firmware upload mode]]. | To compile the firmware with Keil, you just point the IDE to the "workspace.uvmpw" workspace file in ~src/device/main\_m4.
