I am creating a project in VSCode to work with the MKE06Z128VQH4. I want to import the SDK repository from NXP's official site. I downloaded it for Windows and Arm GCC / MCUXpresso for VSCode. When I try to import it, I get an error that there is no standalone file. I also tried importing it remotely and it did not install correctly. When I open the file downloaded from NXP, I see that there is no JSON file. Is that a problem?
THE PROCESS IS:
not import:
Hello,
Examples downloaded within SDK archive in versions below v2.13 could not be imported into MCUXpresso for VS Code using wizards.
As this SDK version is v2.11, MCUXpresso for VS Code requires examples to be downloaded and imported as standalone projects.
The option for download Standalone example project is in MCUXpresso SDK Builder Download options.
Could you help us confirm what SDK example are you implementing?
Then instead of Import Repository you will need to Import project in VSCode adding the archive previously downloaded [Example as standalone project]
As recommendation do not add space characters when enter a location in order to avoid issues with tools and scripts.
You also would need to add the corresponding toolchain, according to release notes in SDK Documentation for MKE06Z128xxx4 use the 11.5.0v.
I would recommend downloading the MCUXpresso IDE version 11.5.0 from this link MCUXpresso IDE and the toolchain would be added in the Toolchain options for VSCode.
If you need more information about MCUXpresso for VS Code please refer to Wiki Home · nxp-mcuxpresso/vscode-for-mcux Wiki · GitHub

Hi, thanks for replying. I am using VSCode with MCUXpresso. The way to use MCUXpresso with VSCode is by installing its extension directly from VSCode. Also, in the link you gave me, the MCUXpresso IDE version 11.5 does not appear.
If you can, please look at my VSCode screenshot because I’m confused. I installed an SDK repository v25.12.0, so what I was trying to do was download the examples to use them. I'm following the GitHub tutorial, and it's my first time using MCUXpresso with VSCode. So with the SDK installed, can I create my own project without having to download anything else?"
Hello
Could you help us try with MCUXpresso 11.6.0v; does the example import correctly for your testing?
Yes, when using MCUXpresso with VSCode with the SDK installed you can import examples, existing projects and create new projects; this links might help you if needed for more instructions on how to import example projects from SDKs MCUXpresso for VS Code: Working with SDK examples and Create Project MCUXpresso for VSCode
Just take in mind the MKE06Z128VQH4 would not appear as an available board for importing an example from repository as it’s a legacy device [Older product].
