Hi,
I have been using mcuxpresso ide (V25.6) with SDK_2.x_FRDM-K64F to build a network on 2.4 GHz using the nrf24l01 attached to FRDM-K64F eval kits. I want to add a couple of MIMXRT1010 eval kits to the network. I am trying to install SDK_2_11_0_EVK-MIMXRT1010-AGM01.zip to use the same IDE to build a system on the RT1010s. It appears to download and install but silently gets ignored. There is a message saying that it already exists, but the only one in the 'installed SDKs' panel is the FRDM-K64F. I have re-built the SDK carefully checking that I have included the mcuxpresso IDE and am developing on linux.
Is it possible that I am being stomped by an unknown bug?
Any help appreciated.
cheers
Nigel
Hi @ve3id,
Here are a few things to test to make sure that the SDK is re-installed properly:
On the Installed SDKs panel, click on the "Open SDK handling preferences page":
You should see something like this:
Please search for the 'SDK_2_11_0_EVK-MIMXRT1010-AGM01.zip' on all of the SDK search root paths that are listed there and delete it manually.
If you haven't modified the SDK location paths for your workspace, you should see the option "Common 'mcuxpresso' folder" selected, and only the 'mcuxpresso\02\SDKPackages' search root, as this one is the default location.
Once deleted, refresh the SDK list by clicking on the reload button:
Then try drag and dropping the SDK zip file to the Installed SDKs once more. If it doesn't appear after a while, try reloading the SDK list once again.
BR,
Edwin.
Problem solved!
I tried unzipping it manually inside the ~/mcuexpresso/02/SDKPackages directory directly and it failed because it wanted to over-write cmsis compiler, which I didn't want it to do. So I created an MIMX directory underneath the existing SDKPackages directory unzipped it there, and hey presto it appears in my 'installed SDK' panel. I can start a new project with the MIMXRT1011 mpu, so it looks like I am good to go now.
thanks for your help in pointing me the right way!
cheers

I also tried the 'download and install SDKs option from inside the 'available SDKs' panel. I selected the MIMXR1011 processor and it downloaded this file into the /02/SDKPakcages directory com.nxp.mcuxpresso.sdk.sdk_2.x_mimxrt1011xxxxx_p2site_26.9.0.20191125144617176723704789806225.zi but it does not show in the panel as installed.
Thanks for the reply. I tried exactly what you said, the /home/nigel/mcuxpresso/02/SDKPackages# directory was the only one shown, I deleted the zip file in there and dragged it again, it appeared again but then did not appear in the installed SDKs panel. I did it twice, but still doesn't appear in the installed sdks panel after a refresh.
