What is the best way to load either an existing project or sample project onto the KDS?
It seems the Import method not always loading all the paths and causing errors.
In CW you could drag and drop .project onto the CodeWarrior Projects folder and it seems to load all settings correctly. How to achieve the same in KDS?
That works great!
How to generate the driver code for the peripherals if the PE is not available in SDK2?
Since the SDK2x is collection of code, do you still need to install this via
Help=>Install => New Software?
As my SDK2.x is empty
File => New => Kinetis SDK2.x Project
Thanks
Hi Siva,
SDK2.0 does not need to be installed.
Recommended Usage:
=> To download SDK 2.0 package:
1. Go to http://kex.nxp.com/ and click "Build an SDK"
2. Create a new configuration: select processor or board
3. Select SDK version 2.0 and "Kinetis Design Studio" as a toolchain
4. Use the 'Build SDK Package' button to create the ZIP file
5. Download the ZIP package and unzip it into a user folder (recommended to unzip into c:\nxp\{package-name}\)
=> To Create new project with the wizard:
1. Start Kinetis Design Studio
2. Select the menu File > New > Kinetis SDK 2.x Project
3. Enter project name and select path where you have unzipped the SDK package from previous step and press [Next>]
4. Select board or processor or board example and press [Next>]
5. Finish wizard
=> Now you can build and debug your project

Hello Erich
Is that means PE is not getting promoted much?
Thanks
Hi Siva,
Correct. Processor Expert is available up to the Kinetis SDK V1.3. It is not supported any more in the SDK V2.0.

Hello Eric and Marek
I am experimenting example code of TWR-K65F180M and FRDM-K66F.
I have built the SDK for the board FRDM-K66F using the Kinetis Expert System Config Tool and it seems to compile and run the sample code without any issues.
None of the projects are PE based. Is there any sample code generated by PE for FRDM-K66F as I plan to build my project using PE?
Thanks
Hi Siva,
the is only Processor Expert support in the Kinetis SDK V1.3, but no dedicated examples afaik.

Using the Import method is the standard and recommended way with Eclipse to import a project.
The drag&drop of a .project file in CodeWarrior does the same as the File > Import > Existing projects. I think the problem you see are with SDK projects: these projects depend on variables, paths to the SDK and relative paths to the SDK from the project location. For these projects you should *not* enable the 'copy project into the workspace' option during the import, otherwise the paths are not correctly set.
I hope this helps,
Erich
I tried without selecting "copy projects into the workplace" method but still getting lots of errors.
Hi Siva, what sample projects are you trying to import? What SDK package is it?
