Alice Yang,

Sorry

" I have something stopped int he debugger"

is just a typo & badly written.

I have something stopped in the debugger"  - I mean that it seems to run & the debugger seems to operate.

Many thanks for your help & clarity on the current state of documentation.

Welcome Neil !

Have a great day,
Alice Yang

Thanks Alice.

I tried to put the next question here, with screenshots , but all it showed was that the actual repeatedly did not match the manual

I was using: Kinetis Design Studio V3.0.0- User's Guide, Rev. 1.0, 04/2015

If this is not the most recent & you can point me to one that matches, I'd be grateful, otherwise -

Guessing between the arts that didn't match the manual, I have something stopped int he debugger. I'm guessing that this means that it actually was able to communicate with my hardware board, but speculation here.

Thanks, I'll just go try some random things to see if things work.

Thanks, again.

Hello Neil,

- For this "

If this is not the most recent & you can point me to one that matches," , yes , you are right,

sorry for the inconvenient to you , and for the KSDK2.x just released on january 2016, so there is no KSDKv2.0 when create

the DOC "Kinetis Design Studio V3.0.0- User's Guide, Rev. 1.0, 04/2015" .

- About your question "" I have something stopped int he debugger" , could you please describe it in detail ,

about how to configure the debugger view, about chip board , what about the project and so on , then  we can help you

sooner.

Hope it helps

Alice

Alice Yang, many thanks.

I understand.

*There is no manual covering this. The manual covers a previous version, only.

*We refer you to an online-only note, that has been used in other questions.

*The combination of K. design Studio 3 & KSDK 2 requires an online "add", the downloads you did are redundant.

The online - add worked, I think. It explained that I could not have all of the items I requested, but again rather lost as to their meaning & the result, so I will just continue & see.

.

I am following

Kinetis Design Studio V3.0.0- User's Guide

Document Number: KDSUG

Rev. 1.0, 04/2015

.

Would I expect that one to match what I see.

.

Should I ask the next as a new question?

or continue in a way that this one becomes a single recipe for departures from manuals for making it work.

[Alice_Yang]

Sorry Neil,

About your this word "Should I ask the next as a new question?"--

Do you still have any question ?

Do  you want to use the KSDK2.x or KSDK1.x ? the method for Download and install both of them i have

told you above.

Alice

Mr. Moderator - In my defence, I was asked for more detail.

Alice, hi.

Thanks so much for following up.

I had tried to express or imply 3 things. (1) I'm new & don't know the route, hence don't know which part is wrong, so was hoping for someone knowledgeable like yourself to fill in some blanks.. (2) I'm lost with help that does not seem to match the reality I see. (3) I'd just like something to work, anything, so I don't really know which version is best.

.

So I'll try to answer your questions.

e. Select the .zip file provided by KSDK. For example, select

this is a quote from the document where it says select the eclipse update.

My point is that there is no eclipse update.

I'll try in more detail.

New to this. Someone tell me the missing link. please

Google nxp kinetis sdk

Software Development Kit for Kinetis MCUs|NXP

Looks well written & very promising.

SDK builder -ok

Choose board, choose design studio - choose windows

Create SDK

download sdk

Find a document called "Kinetis Design Studio V3.0.0- User's

Guide" ==>

Section 4.1 starts

4.1 Installing Kinetis SDK

<This sort of seems like what I need>

Section 4,1 goes on to say

2. Double-click to launch the executable.

My unpacked zip looks like this.

Well there are a number of directories, but  in the end, ...

.. there is no executable.

...

So, I assume that I have mistaken some part for some other part, or I have instructions for A & have art B, or, the instructions are wrong.

Message - I was looking & looking hard: Yet I ended up in a corner & lost. NXP can take this feedback on board & make it easier for the next potential customer, can help this customer, or do as they might see fit.

So, I assume that the product might have moved on & this part is no longer required?

The next section looks also a good one & relevant.

4.2 Installing Kinetis SDK into KDS

To install Kinetis SDK in KDS:

1. Download and install the appropriate Kinetis SDK for your microcontroller. See

http://www.freescale.com/ksdk for details.

...

Well, I guess this is what I've done.

Great, . moving on....

2. The Kinetis SDK installation directory contains an Eclipse update. Use the Install

New Software wizard to install the Eclipse update into in the Kinetis Design Studio.

NOTE

Users with the Kinetis Design Studio IDE installed in a

read-only location, which is the default for Linux systems,

must launch the Kinetis Design Studio IDE with

administrative/root privileges to install the KSDK.

a. Launch the Kinetis Design Studio.

b. Select Help > Install New Software from the IDE menu bar.

skipping some images of the "Install new software dialog boxes"

The great text gives an example path - Great

e. Select the .zip file provided by KSDK. For example, select <DownloadDir>

KSDK_1.2.0\tools\eclipse_update\KSDK_1.2.0_Eclipse_Update.zip.

There is no eclipse update

This file does not exist.

OK, which version?

No idea - I took the one offered. The one generated. The latest, I guess.

The instructions do not match the reality.

I'm very happy to believe that I have mistaken something & am doing the wrong thing.

In this lives really useful feedback on  the system as seen by newcomers.

I am happy to accept that I am asking the wrong question, or aiming at the wrong thing, but I'm new & doing as the manual tells me, using the manual I found easiest. They all seem so well written, but just don't match my, flawed, reality.

Which leaves me ....

utterly lost.

Someone enlighten me?

I have since managed to get a fusion toolbox running & mbed loaded & re-flashed & something compiled & such, but I have little idea of the setup, whether it is a good one, accidental one, whether I am using the tool I thought I was using, or where the myriad components fit with each other.

I you or someone could offer an explanation of why the 2 main points I found, executable installer & eclipse update are missing, I'd know a little more than I do now.

Either way, I'll blunder round int the dark a bit more, hoping to discover more combinations that work.

I love the FRDM-K64F board & the FRDM-STBC-AGM-01 board. I just want to know how I should be making it go. Following what I thought was the manual is not working for me.

Hope the images help.

Thanks again for following up.

Hello Neil,

1) I know your question now .

First i want to tell you that , there is KSDK1.x versions(for example KSDK1.0 KSDK 1.2 KSDK 1.3) and KSDK2.x version ,

the method to install the KSDK1.x is different from KSDK2.x .

About download and install the KSDK2.x , please refer to Using Kinetis Design Studio v3.x with Kinetis SDK v2.0

About the KSDK1.x, you can refer to the "Kinetis Design Studio V3.0.0- User'sGuide"  .

2) If refer to the method i mentioned , you still have some confused , you can tell me without any hesitate.

Have a great day,
Alice Yang

Hello Neil,

I think there is miss something on your question, for example here :

select what ?

And do you want to Install KSDK1.3 or KSDK2.0 into your KDS ?

and does it can not installed ? Could you please take a screenshot about your phenomenon about the problem.

Alice
