How can I find the exact location of installed SDK?

[nnxxpp]

I am reading "Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK for EVK-MIMXRT1060" and this article said about package folder and structure of each example.

I tried to open local location of installed SDK from installed SDK window, but there is only .zip file. I tried to download SDK from the internet by using Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder (nxp.com), I extracted .zip file and there are some folders of example. Where can I find example folders installed in MCUXpresso IDE that is same as in .zip file?

Furthermore, I checked structure of hello_world folder and structure of hello_world project in IDE. It is so different. In IDE, there are many folders such as "board", "component", "device"... You can see in attached images. For example, there is the file "semihost_hardfault.c" in the IDE, but this file is not in hello_world folder of .zip file. How to understand the structure of the project in the IDE? Now I cannot map files from folder (of .zip file) to files to the IDE. 

Sorry for my not good English. Thank you.

Hello @nnxxpp ,
 

The hello world files that you are looking at, are just the application layer of that project.To create a functional project you need more layers, as shown in the following image collected from the "Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK" document:

So, when you import an example of the SDK from MCUxpresso, it takes all the layers that the project needs to work, downloading only those that are going to be needed for the implementation of the SDK.

Finally, as an example, we can locate the driver's folder used by the MCUxpresso, as can be seen in the image you provided, by looking into the following path of the SDK: SDK_2_15_000_EVK-MIMXRT1060.zip\devices\MIMXRT1062\drivers.
BR,

Habib.

I have one more question. This is folder of tflm_cifar in the SDK .zip file. As you said, I can run "source" folder in my PC without board (remove .c files related to board). Is that right? Because I want to evaluate tfml model on my PC. Do you have any reference about evaluation of tflm classification model in PC?

Thanks.
