Hi,

We are about to release Zephyr SDK 0.9 and need some more testing and feedback, the installer can be found here:

https://jenkins.zephyrproject.org/job/meta-zephyr-sdk-merge/68/artifact/meta-zephyr-sdk/scripts/zephyr-sdk-0.9-setup.run


Once installed, it should work with the latest master without any modifications. If you find any issues please reply to this thread or file a bug in Jira.

Thanks,

Anas
