Looking for Linux KSDK step by step installation guide

[michaelkoller]

Hello, there!

I'm looking for a step by step guide for installing the current KSDK 1.3.0 Mainline on Ubuntu LTS 14.04. (https://nxp.flexnetoperations.com/control/frse/download?agree=Accept&element=6373617 )

I have been trying to get it running for two days now. I am fairly new to using Linux and maybe I'm missing something very simple. But after many different failed attempts it would be great if someone could give me a little 'how to'-guide. Maybe other people need this as well?

Thanks, folks!

EDIT: Using the tutorial at Freedom Development Platform for Kinetis MCUs|NXP , I already got everything working on Windows without problems.

Hi Michael,

I apologize for my late response, I was out of my office.

I´m still working on the guide.

Yes, exactly. You must install KDS first, and then KSDK.

Please, have you followed these steps?

For installation KDS is needed:

• for installation Ubuntu use .deb package for KDS
• be sure, you have permission to install package, if not, add permission by chmod +x <KDS_installation_package>
• use command $ sudo dpkg -i <KDS_installation_package>
• you will see KDS under /opt/Freescale/KDS_3.0.0
• be sure, you installed packages libc6:i386, libncurses5:i386, & libstdc++6:i386 using command sudo apt-get install <installed_package>
• install KSDK into KDS, Install New Software -> Eclipse Update for KSDK 1.3

But I have prepared the guide with video tutorials.

Best Regards,

Iva

Hello again,

I was wondering when the Linux specific KSDK installation guide would be posted here.

Could you tell me?

Thanks again,

Michael

Hi Iva, thanks for the reply!

I am currently using a 64-bit system.

I have looked up the sources you suggested right now. It seems the trick is to install the Kinetis Design Studio first and install KSDK afterwards via update in the IDE, correct? Until now I have been trying to do the KSDK installation first.

Up until now I also have only tried to install the Kinetis SDK 1.3.0 Mainline - Linux, that this tutorial (Freedom Development Platform for Kinetis MCUs|NXP ) suggests. I will try the KSDK 2.0 that you recommend. I didn't know that version existed, but I will try that right away.

Best regards and thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

Hi Michael!

Please, do you have 64-bit or 32-bit?

The procedure is very simple, please see Video Link : 3281

Please see Getting Started with KSDK 1.3​ 5.2.2 Linux Instructions

Current KSDK version is KSDK 2.0, please did you try this?

Anyway, I´m preparing the guide for you, I will post it here as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,

Iva
