Why isn't Kinetis SDK checkbox selectable?

[bsder]

Just getting started on a new project.  I can power and connect to my board using J-Link Commander and recognize my K20.  Great.  I'll just create a blink LED and be on my way.

Hah.

So I download Kinetis Design Studio 1.1.1 and fire it up.

Um, it can't find the Kinetis SDK.  So, I downloaded 500 freakin' megabytes and something is still missing?  Really.

But anyway, so I download the Kinetis SDK.  And install it.

Make new project.  Still can't find the SDK.  Okayyyyy.  Read the release notes.  Oh, so I have to install the SDK and then tell Eclipse where it is.  Fine.

Install new software.  Install KSDK 1.0.0-GA.  Great it's installed.

Make new project.  It *STILL* can't find the SDK.

Anybody have suggestions?  Am I missing the Kinetis Design Studio for N00bs from somewhere?  Does that checkbox just not work?

Thanks.

Further information: if I select one of the boards--the SDK option lights up.  If I select one of the processors, it does not.

Hello,

which processor/microcontroller did you select? The SDK option only is enabled if you select a processor which is supported by the Kinetis SDK. If you select another processor not supportec by the SDK yet (e.g. KL25Z), then you cannot select the SDK, as not supported.

Thanks.  That's it.  I'm using an MK20D that isn't supported.

The note about updating the Kinetis SDK is always present even if the SDK is installed and selectable.  That threw me down the wrong path.
