The Kinetis is a family of ARM Cortex M4 and M0+ microcontrollers from
Freescale/NXP. The Kinetis Design Studio is a toolchain package from
Freescale/NXP consisting of Eclipse, gdb (with OpenOCD and other
hardware interfacing), gcc, libraries, device-specific headers, wizards,
etc.
The gcc + friends package is from
<https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded> . As far as I know, Freescale
does not modify it at all now - it is taken straight from that site,
though not necessarily the latest release. The library is newlib or
newlib-nano (both are part of it).
The OP can probably get best support on this setup by posting to the
Kinetis Design Studio forums at Freescale/NXP, or on the forums on the
Launchpad site.
