4.2.4 Using KDS
4.2.4.1 Install and start KDS
KDS (Kinetis Design Studio) has to be installed first. The KDS installation can be found
from NXP website:

The minimum required KDS version is 3.2.0.

selected to retrieve the ongoing projects. The workspace will not necessarily contain
source code, but it will contain all configuration and information about current projects.
