As with the previous V1.1.0 release, you need to download the Kinetis Software Development Kit (KSDK) package to add new device support (library, examples ...)
KSDK is available at http://www.freescale.com/ksdk just move to the Downloads sections to get it
IMPORTANT: To complete KDS and KSDK install, you need to open the SDK Eclipse update (available in KSDK package) from the KDS toolchain using the commands 'Help/Install new software' then 'Add/Archive' and select 'C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.0.0\tools\eclipse_update\SDK_1.0.0-GA_Update_for_Eclipse.zip'.
See the release notes for more details.
There is no need to uninstall V1.1.1, as V2.0.0 can be installed in parallel, and projects are compatible. Moving to V2.0.0 is highly recommended for Linux users and anyone using the Kinetis SDK.
Thanks for supporting Freescale and its Kinetis ARM Cortex-M MCUs !
