not sure what you mean with 'will be used', but there is the NXP MCUXpresso SDK (https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com) for it, and you can use the SDK with a range of IDEs (I'm mostly using the MCUXpresso IDE and Visual Studio Code).

But you can use any other development environment as outlined on the MCUXpresso SDK web site.

Iam asking this because there are actually three IDEs
1. CodeWarrior
2. MCUXpresso
3. KDS IDE
Also, there is a KSDK and MCUXpresso SDK.
So, there is confusion for me.

KSDK (Kinetis SDK) and KDS (Kinetis Design Studio) and CodeWarrior is legacy, I recommend to go with the MCUXpresso IDE and SDK instead.

First there was CodeWarrior, then there was KDS, now there is MCUXpresso.

Ok, Understood. Thanks for your reply
Are both MCUXpresso IDE and SDK free? or is there any paid version depending on the code size?
