SDKs

The SDKs page of the project properties displays information about available SDKs that are compatible with the project by the following criteria:

supported compiler(s)
supported language (C only or C/C++)
supported architecture/core – if the software module is independent from peripherals and depends only on the core type
supported target device (core) – if the software module uses some hardware modules then it could be used only for a certain device (or core in case of a multi-core device).

If a given SDK is attached to a project build configuration, the mark is displayed in the respective column.

By default, the page displays SDKs that are attached or can be attached to the project. If you select the Show all SDKs option, the incompatible SDKs may be displayed as well (if such exist in the workspace). The following marks in the build configuration columns indicate the problem:

	The toolchains of the project and SDK are incompatible
	The processor or core of the project and SDK are incompatible
	The languages of the project and SDK are incompatible
	The project root folder contains the file with the name matching the SDK name
	The SDK folder cannot be found (renamed or deleted)
	The project root folder contains the folder with the name matching the SDK name. The comparison is case-insensitive.

The following buttons and options are available for managing SDKs in a project:

Table 1. Project properties: SDKs
Button/Option	Result
Add...	Creates a new local SDK. The SDK will be available only for the current project.
Edit/Show info...	Modifies properties of the existing SDK (when the SDK is not attached to any project) or displays the properties if the selected SDK is read-only.
Remove	Removes the selected SDK.
Clone from git	Clones the SDK content from Git. The repository must have the SDK descriptor (the sources.xml file) in the root.
Attach/Detach	Attaches/detaches the SDK to/from the project and uses it in the specified build configuration.
Make global	Makes the selected local SDK global. The SDK will be available in the SDK Management list.
Import...	Imports the SDK from an archive file or from a directory.
Export...	Exports the selected SDK to an archive file.
Show only latest versions	Select this option to see only the latest version of each SDK.
Show all SDKs	Select this option to see all global SDKs that cannot be attached to the project.
