Kinetis SDK 2.0 support ?

[GeoffS]

Just wondering if there was a timeframe for when VisualGDB would support the latest Kinetis SDK 2.0 ?

Hi,

The problem is that NXP does not allow downloading the entire KSDK as one package, so we cannot make a BSP based on it similarly to what we did with KSDK 1.3.

As a workaround we would suggest generating an SDK for your device using their online tool and importing it to VisualGDB using the project import wizard.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I’m a bit lost on how to import the resulting SDK, and then how to make use of it with other imported Kinetis projects (which have been developed using KSDK v2 in the Kinetis Design Studio environment).  Any tips you could share ?

Hi,

Kinetis KSDK 2.0 uses a different approach for structuring files than the previous versions, please try creating a project manually by following the legacy device tutorial: http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/arm/legacy/

​​You would normally need to import at least the following files:

• The startup file (.S)
• The linker script (.ld)
• ​The drivers files (e.g. fsl_gpio.c)

If this does note help, please let us know the details on the errors you encounter so that we could help you further.

I have just noticed that you now have support for KSDK v2:

Excellent !! This will allow me to now take full advantage of VisualGDB with my Kinetis projects. Keep up the great work 🙂
