1. The Latest Linux SDK –
There are many versions of Linux SDK released for K2E processor. When this document is written, this is the latest.
============================================================================
SDK NAME - PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-K2E 06_03_00_106
Download link - http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/K2E/latest/index_FDS.html
========================================================================
For older versions of SDK, click "view-all-versions" in the above link and download from here : ://www.ti.com/tool/download/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-K2E
Please ensure, the revision number of K2E-EVM matches with the SDK revision.

2.The (IDE) Integrated development environment –
As the PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-K2E 06_03_00_106 is tested to run successfully in CCS version 9.3.0.00012 without any errors, the users are recommended to stick to this CCS version.
However, the user, may use, the higher versions of CCS, as their own choice. TI could not guarantee solution, if errors faced while using in-compatible versions of CCS with SDK.
