The PE in KDS not support the Series of KV5?

[xiaodouwang]

Dear all,

When I start a New project for KV5 used by PE in KDS, I can not  found  the Processor KV5. Is it not support  the chip by the current version of PE or KDS? At the same time, I wonder that the how much the performance of KV5 improved compare with MC56F84789.

Thanks!

Hi Yongsheng,

Kinetis SDK V2.0 does not include/support Processor Expert any more (see https://mcuoneclipse.com/2016/01/29/first-nxp-kinetis-sdk-release-sdk-v2-0-with-on-demand-package-bu... ).

There is a workaround to use at least Processor Expert using the SDK V1.3, but that's really a workaround only. See https://mcuoneclipse.com/2016/06/24/first-steps-arm-cortex-m7-and-freertos-on-nxp-twr-kv58f220m/ and https://mcuoneclipse.com/2016/05/15/mother-of-components-processor-expert-with-nxp-kinetis-sdk-v2-0-.... Basically the approach is to use a 'maser' and a 'slave' project. You might have a look at how I'm using it for the TWR-KV58 on GitHub (mcuoneclipse/Examples/KDS/TWR-KV58F220M at master · ErichStyger/mcuoneclipse · GitHub ).

So this is not the 'official' way, but a way to use Processor Expert for the KV5x series.

Other than that, you have to use the plain Kinetis SDK V2

Bottom line is that there is no Processor Expert with SDK V2.

I hope this helps,
