How to Generate & build custom application using Kinetis Design Studio?

[shree97]

Hello All,

I got my new FRDM-K82F development board. After that I followed the getting started videos and I am able to build the existing demo applications and debug it.

But I am having issue building custom application. I downloaded the Kinetis Project Generator and generated one demo project but its not creating any *.wsd file in ksd folder then how can I open and edit the project?

Kindly help regarding this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Shrikant

- Then configure this view refer to your requirement :

- The project have been generated ,it under the Project Parent Directory you configured :

Hello  Alice_Yang,

Thanks for your reply.

I did the same as you suggested but still I am not getting any .wsd file under kds directory.

Its creating a single folder with name settings under kds directory whose contents are as shown in screenshot

Also I am working with Ubuntu 14.04 as a Host.

Kindly give your suggestions to solve this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Shrikant,

.wsd file is not needed. To import project you need only .cproject and .project files. Use File - Import to import the project (see screenshots above).

Hello Marek,

The below screenshot shows the directory structure created by project generator.

Now, tell me which file I should import ?

Hi Shree,

How do you open the existing demo applications ? The method is the same .

And please show the files and folders under .../LED/KDS of your project path .

Hi Shrikant,

do you know that for KDS, project can be clonsed also using wizard from main menu - File - New - Kinetis SDK 2.x Project? This is much easier.

Before you start, please ensure, you have the latest version of the wizard from KDS update site.

To anwser your question: Project Generator generates ".project" and ".cproject" files into "kds" subfolder.

Hello Marek,

I tried cloning the project also (after update ) and I copied the code from hello world demo application.

The project is built successfully but its not showing any O/P on console.

In my case I am not getting ".project"  and ".cproject" files under kds folder.You can refer below screenshots.

Hi Shrikant,

do you have KDS support in your SDK package?  Project Generator may create an empty folder if the toolchain is not supported in SDK package.

If yes, can you share configuration of SDK package, you downloaded?
