Importing an SDK

You can import an SDK to the preferred location (a workspace or a project) from an external storage such as a ZIP archive or a directory.

To import an SDK:

  1. Open the location where to import the SDK:
    • To import the SDK to the workspace, click Window > Preferences on the main menu. In the Preferences dialog box, go to S32 Design Studio > SDK Management.
    • To import the SDK to a particular project, right-click the project in the Project Explorer and click Properties on the context menu. In the Properties dialog box, go to SDKs.
  2. Click the Import button.
  3. In the Import an SDK wizard, click the source - a ZIP file or a directory.

  4. Specify the import settings and confirm the operation:
    • To import from a ZIP file, browse to the archive file, then browse to the destination folder where the zipped files will be extracted. Click OK.
    • To import from a directory:
      1. Browse to the folder where the SDK is located. Click OK.

      2. On the next wizard page, select the destination to which the SDK will be imported:
        • Default (SDK folder): The folder where the SDK is stored.
        • SDK Base Path: The standard base path to SDK files defined in the SDK descriptor.
      3. Click OK.
  5. (Optional) If an SDK with the same name and version already exists, specify different SDK properties in the Change SDK name/version dialog box and click OK.
Once done, the imported SDK appears on the SDK Management page of the user preferences. If imported to a project, the SDK also appears on the SDKs page of the project properties.
Note: If an SDK imported to a project does not appear on the SDKs page, this may be caused by incompatible properties or by unexpected or missing files in the SDK or project structure. Select the Show All SDKs option on the SDKs page and check if the imported SDK is marked accordingly. To learn more, refer to SDKs.
