During this session you will learn how to leverage Freescale’s microcontroller enablement bundle and ARM ecosystem to kickstart your Kinetis L Series MCUs design.

 

 

First, we will cover a brief introduction of the recently announced Kinetis L Series MCUs, that combine the exceptional energy-efficiency and ease-of-use of the new ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor with the performance, peripheral sets, enablement and scalability of the Kinetis 32-bit MCU portfolio.

 

 

Next, we will go through a detailed overview of the hardware and software enablement bundle offered by Freescale, as well as the ARM ecosystem, that enables you to simplify and accelerate your development.

 

 

Last and more specifically, we will demonstrate the ease-of-use of the Freescale Freedom platform, featuring the Kinetis L KL25Z MCU and a new openSDA debug interface. This ultra low-cost evaluation tool will be available late September.
