Hi Iva,
Thank you for the suggestions.
I had uninstalled KDS and re-installed and associated with KSDK_1.3 only. Then I made the rookie mistake of applying the FRDM-K82F ZIP file to KSD_1.3 folder. I had assumed since the ZIP didn't contain a root folder it was to be copied into KSDK_1.3. A big mistake...
What ultimately worked for me was uninstalling KDS_3.0 and KSDK_1.3, re-installing KDS and KSDK and then making a separate KSDK_1.3_FRDM-K82F only folder. With KDS_#.0 installed again, I associated it with the KSDK_1.2, KSDK_1.3, and KSDK_1.3_FRDM-K82F and now when I want to create a new project all is good.
I wish the K82F standalone had been an installer. Would have save me a bunch of time. But lesson learned. Hope others can use this to prevent an issue.
Regards,
David
