Certain high level components in KDS Processor Expert Missing!

[kashyapgada]

Being new to Kinetis Design Studio and Processor Expert, I was following a tutorial on Tutorial: ADC with the Freedom Board | MCU on Eclipse

The Issue is the ADC Component which is mentioned in the post to be imported into the Project, is missing in my KDS IDE. I had installed KDS 1.1 and then KSDK. Can Any one help me what is the solution to get ADC high level component back into the component library.

Hi Kashyap,

For which microcontroller did you create the project?

Have you created the project with the Kinetis SDK enabled? If yes, then the Kinetis SDK does not support these components.

Create the project without the SDK enabled, then you should be able to use this components.

Hello Erich Styger,

Thanks for your reply. I am using KL25z FRDM Board.  I donot know if I had enabled/selected the SDK but yes, I did install it on my KDS IDE. I had installed KDS on two machines, and KSDK on only one and not in other. The one in which KSDK was installed I did not find the ADC High Level component, But in the other machine where i didnot install KSDK the same ADC component was available.

Why are the components not available with KSDK >? What are the benefits of KSDK then?

If you are using the KL25Z, then this would not be a SDK project, as the KL25Z is not supported by the SDK yet.

The Kinetis SDK comes with a completely different API and way how the drivers are organized, including the startup code. Unfortunately this breaks with any existing projects or components. But you can use the fsl_ components with the Kinetis SDK, as they are made for the SDK.

Thanks Erich.

I uninstalled KSDK and KDS and reinstalled KDS. Still the ADC High level module is missing. Is there any way I can import that module into my project?

Strange, it must be there. Can you check in the components library view, and that you do not have items filtered?

Hello Eric, This module is visible but when I follow up your blog post for writing adc code setup the some adc functions are not being generated by Processor Expert The AD1.h consists no measure functions. Is there any way to re install processor expert in KDS

Hi Kashyap,

if the component is there, and you can generate code, then I doubt it is an installation issue.
