This document will show how to install New Eclipse Update required to work on recent SDK 1.0.0-GA.
Without the update, KDS cannot generate KSDK-compatible projects.
To use the Kinetis SDK with Eclipse and Processor Expert, this updated needs to be installed into Eclipse (e.g. Kinetis Design Studio or Processor Expert Driver Suite). Otherwise both 'New Project Wizard' and Processor Expert will not know about the devices present and supported in the Kinetis SDK.
With the installation of this update, the 'New Project Wizard' will be enabled to use the Kinetis SDK for the devices supported, and Processor Expert components for the Kinetis SDK are added.
To install the update, follow these instructions:
In a KDS project window Select Help > Install New Software.
In the “Install New Software” dialog box, select the “Add…” button in the upper right corner.
Select “Archive…” In the “Add Repository” dialog as shown below.
Or optionally you can download the KSDK update from here Freescale Kinetis SDK_1.0.0 - Windows installer and provide the local path in “Add Repository” window.
In the dialog box that appears, browse the KSDK install directory. From the top-level, enter the tools/eclipse_update folder and select the SDK_1.0.0-GA_Update_for_Eclipse.zip file as shown below.
Click on “Open”, and then “OK” in the “Add Repository” dialog box. The KSDK update now shows up as “Processor Expert Software” >“Eclipse Update for KSDK 1.0.0-GA” as shown below.
Check the box to the left of the KSDK Eclipse update and click “Next” in the lower right corner. Follow the remaining instructions to finish the installation of the update.
Once the update is applied, restart KDS for the changes to take effect.
