Installing Kinetis SDK on 32bit Linux Ubuntu 15.10

[maxdieudonne]

I'm getting the following error when trying to install the KDS on my 32 bit Linux. It seem strange that only the 64bit package is provided, while I've come across many statements that it should work on 32bit. Unfortunately, I'm not having any luck with the only package provided for the linux environment.

Hi Max,

KDS v3.x is Linux 64bit only. The launchpad compiler included with it is 32bit, but Eclipse and everything around it is 64bit. So it won't run on 32bit Linux.

In this case, if I already have Eclipse running, how can I include the KDS and Processor Expert modules for the FRDM_K64F? Is it possible?

Also, I have located an older version 2.1.1 for 32bit Linux on the software site. But, I'm not sure it has the board support for my board.

Correction, I meant to reference this previous KSDK version that includes a 32bit Linux version. Can it be added to my installed eclipse, without having to install the KDS IDE?
