Get to Know the FRDM-KL27Z The Freescale Freedom development platform is a set of software and hardware tools for evaluation and development. It is ideal for rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based applications. The Freescale Freedom KL27Z hardware, FRDM-KL27Z, is a simple, yet sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis L series MCU, the industry’s first MCU built on the ARM® Cortex®-M0+ core.
Getting Started Out of the Box I t lli D Installing Drivers i and dR Running i th the O Outt off B Box D Demo 0 Optional: Download and Install the P&E OpenSDA USB Drivers found at www.pemicro.com/opensda. p p 1 Plug in a USB cable (not included) from a USB host to the OpenSDA mini-B USB connector. The FRDMKL27Z will be powered by this USB connection. FRDM-KL27Z FRDM KL27Z comes with the mass-storage mass storage device (MSD) Flash Programmer OpenSDA Application preinstalled.
Introduction to OpenSDA 1 of 2 OpenSDA is an open open-standard standard serial and debug adapter adapter. It bridges serial and debug communications between a USB host and an embedded target processor. OpenSDA software includes a flash-resident USB mass-storage device (MSD) bootloader and a collection of OpenSDA Applications. FRDM-KL27Z comes with the MSD Flash Programmer OpenSDA Application preinstalled.
Introduction to OpenSDA 2 of 2 The MSD Flash Programmer is a composite USB application that provides a virtual serial port and an easy and convenient way to program applications onto the Kinetis KL27 MCU. It emulates a FAT16 file system, appearing as a removable drive in the host file system with a volume label of FRDM-KL27Z. Raw binary and Motorola S-record files that are copied to the drive are programmed directly into the flash of the Kinetis KL27 MCU and executed automatically.
Introduction to ROM The Kinetis KL27 MCU supports both boot modes: boot from ROM ROM, or boot from flash, flash which can be determined by external boot pin and/or programmable boot source control in flash FOPT register. In boot from ROM mode, ROM boot loader will be active, which is a build-in firmware upgrade program in ROM, supporting USB,UART,I2C,SPI interfaces, and can be used as ISP and IAP.
