Seeking Guidance: Installing Platform SDK in IDE on Ubuntu

[Ashok_Yewale]

Hello NXP community,

I'm currently working on a project that requires utilizing the Platform SDK provided by NXP. However, I've encountered a challenge as the Platform SDK does not officially support Linux, particularly Ubuntu. I'm wondering if anyone has found a workaround or alternative solution for installing the Platform SDK within an IDE on Ubuntu?

My objective is to compile my code seamlessly with the Platform SDK to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Any insights, tips, or substitute solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi Ashok,

Hi @jiri_kral,

Thank you for your response. My target device is the NXPS32K324, and I'm currently using S32DS Version 3.5.

Please let me know if there's any additional information you require.

So, it is possible install RTD for S32K3 on Ubuntu machine from offline package via Help -> Install New Software. The main issue is, that Linux is case sensitive OS and some RTD files doesn't match filename and file definition inside the Config tool. 

The effort how to fix it depends on complexity of your project. For simple one you need to fix only few rows in couple .xml files. If the project will be more complex - it may be dozens and dozens files and rows. 

You may also met other issues about we aren't aware (the case sensitivity is known issue) - and there are no resources to fix it on our side. RTD is not tested on Linux and is not officially supported on Linux.

Hi Ashok, 

as I said - RTD is not supported on Linux - but can be installed as an offline update package. The package can be download as a .zip archive from your NXP Downloads account. 

You can install it via Help -> Install New Software
