cannot install KDS if MCUXpresso is present

[gschelotto]

Hi,

I've installed MCUXpresso IDE successfully on my Linux (debian) distribution but KDS installer failed at this point:

It seems that there's a problem with some PEmicro packages.

How can I address this issue? Should I remove the packages from MCUXpresso IDE and then reinstall KDS?

regards,

gaston

Erich, thanks for the hint but I cannot reproduce the suggested steps. In my case MCUXpresso was installed before KDS and KDS installer is delivered as .deb package instead the MCUXpresso .bin executable file.

Is there another workaround to fix it? (by tacking into account the installation order: 1st MCUXpresso, 2nd KDS IDE)

regards,

gaston

Hi Gaston,

If MCUXpresso was installed before KDS then use this command to install Kinetis Design Studio:

sudo dpkg -i --force-depends --force-overwrite kinetis-design-studio_3.2.0-1_amd64.deb

Hope it helps!
