# Add MCU SDKs

Note: Before you start developing for MCUs, go to Help > About Plugins, and make sure you have the Qt for MCUs plugin enabled.

To configure a connection between Qt Creator and your MCU board:

1. Go to Preferences > SDKs > MCU.
2. In Qt for MCUs SDK, specify the path to the directory where you installed Qt for MCUs SDK.

3. In Targets supported by the Qt for MCUs SDK, select your MCU board.
4. In Requirements, check that the platform-specific requirements are met. This depends on the target:
   - For Infineon targets:
     - The Green Hills Compiler for ARM or IAR ARM Compiler path.
     - The Graphics Driver for Traveo T2G Cluster Series path.
     - The Infineon Auto Flash Utility path.
   - For NXP targets:
     - The GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain or IAR ARM Compiler path.
     - The MCUXpresso IDE install path.
     - The Board SDK for the chosen target.
     - The FreeRTOS Sources for the chosen target.
   - For Renesas targets:
     - The Green Hills Compiler path.
     - The Renesas Graphics Library path.
     - The Renesas Flash Programmer path (optional).
   - For STM32 targets:
     - The GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain or IAR ARM Compiler path.
     - The STM32CubeProgrammer install path.
     - The Board SDK for the chosen target.
     - The FreeRTOS Sources for the chosen target.
5. Select Automatically create kits for all available targets on start to create kits automatically the next time Qt Creator starts.

   Note: Select Create Kit to manually create kits for the target.

6. Select Apply to save the preferences.
