At this point, you are ready to begin developing your application using the ModusToolbox™ ecosystem. Our devices and software support multiple technologies. Review these webpages to learn more. You can use the Setup program to install additional packs as needed, or install them individually.

Refer also to the

tools package user guide

for a complete description of the ModusToolbox™ ecosystem, information about the build system, manifest, and BSPs, as well as instructions about how to get started creating and building an application.

There are two kinds of packs:

  • Technology packs - long term packs that provide extended technology software and tools as noted above.

  • Early access packs - short term packs to provide select customers access to newer devices and technolgy that is still being developed.

Installing technology packs​

To install a particular technology pack, you can just select it in the Setup program or locate it on IDC. There are no special requirements to install and use these type of packs, other than having the base tools package and dependencies already installed.

Installing early access packs​

To install an early access pack, you must be given access. This may include signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Once you have permission, you will be able to see available early access packs when you log in to the Setup program or IDC. Then, you can select it and download/install it the same as any pack or package.

In order to use an early access pack, you must set the

MTB_EARLY_ACCESS_PACK

environment variable. The value for this variable can be found in the early access pack release notes or quick start guide after installation. If you cannot find it, look in the early access pack

resources

folder for the

tools-details.json

file. The

featureId

property contains the value to use.
