Making a local SDK global

An SDK added to a particular project can be used but locally. You can add a local SDK to the workspace and thus make it global.

When you add a local SDK to the workspace, the SDK becomes global but its descriptor still keeps the project's language, MCU, core, and toolchain. This global SDK can be used with projects that have similar properties.

To make a local SDK global:

  1. Open the project properties by right-clicking the project in the Project Explorer and clicking Properties on the context menu.
  2. In the Properties dialog box, go to SDKs.
  3. Select the SDKs that you need to add to the workspace. Click Make global, then click OK.

The SDK becomes available on the SDK Management page of user preferences. Within the workspace, this SDK can be attached to any application project that uses the compatible language, MCU, core, and toolchain.
