Should KDS update server be changed

JonathanHess — Sat, 07 Jan 2017 19:07:52 GMT

One of the steps in "Getting Started with Kinetis SDK (KSKD) v.2.1.pdf" was to "check for updates." Doing so results in a "No updates found" dialog on top of a dialog with:

No repository found at http://gnuarmeclipse.sourceforge.net/updates.

That probably explains why no updates were found. What url in KDS should be updated and to what?

Hi Jonathan,

GNU ARM Eclipse has been migrated to GitHub (Welcome to GNU ARM Eclipse! ), but the Eclipse update site is still at http://gnuarmeclipse.sourceforge.net/updates

However, some SourceForge areas seemed to have in the past months problems (denial of service or other threads) and was now accessible (which seems to be the case right now). So I suggest that you give it a try later.

I hope this helps,

Erich

After your reply I checked from my Eclipse/mars install and... it is correctly using http://gnuarmeclipse.sourceforge.net/updates. No idea why KSD 3.2 isn't working with it unless it could be an indendent or older jre.

This makes me want to head back over to mcuoneclipse and read up on how to install the nxp/freescale plugins directly in eclipse/mars but... I'd have to think if that will actually buy me anything with the targets I have and mbed. It would definitely complicate the "mbed<-cli> export -i <something eclipse based>" is broken test.

Hi Jonathan,

I think it is really a prolem with SourceForge. I tried it again and it works now:
