When Gecko SDK Suite patches are released, they can be installed from the SDKs tab of the Simplicity Studio Package Manager (the “Update Software” icon). If you have access to these SDKs, then “Update” links for them will be seen (if the previous version was not installed then the link will be an “Install” link). If the “Update” link is clicked, a warning message will be displayed indicating that the existing SDK will be overwritten with the new patch version. If this is not desired, then do not install the SDK patch.
At the moment, Simplicity Studio SDK registration mechanism has an issue in the update case where the updated Gecko SDK Suite *is not* displayed in the Studio Settings (preferences) under [Simplicity Studio] > [SDKs]. We are working on fixing this issue, but in the mean time you can do the following after you have updated a Gecko SDK Suite installation:
Restart Simplicity Studio.
Open the Settings (preferences) and go to [Simplicity Studio] > [SDKs], highlight any of the SDKs from the displayed list and click F5 to rescan the SDKs. The updated Gecko SDK Suite will then be shown as an installed SDK.
Exit the settings dialog. On the Launcher perspective, the preferred SDK may still show the old version, if so, click the link to change the preferred SDK and the correct version will be shown in the SDK selection list, select it and then the preferred SDK will also show the correct version.
