/members-area/personalblogs/b/nico-tewinkel-s-blog/posts/the-freescale-frdm-kl25z---arduino-substituteA few weeks ago Pat Kelly (one of the good folks of element14) told me about the new Freescale boards that use mbed.org for easy and quick firmware building. Easy and quick, you say? That sounds perfect for me, the hobbyist with very little spare timen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/nico-tewinkel-s-blog/posts/the-freescale-frdm-kl25z---arduino-substituteTue, 30 Apr 2013 10:02:06 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f4390941-79d9-46ac-8e36-e8b86e0870b9shabaz0<p>I&#39;d not read up on this board until I read your post, and it looks really nice. The mbed environment looks great its probably one of the easiest boards to develop on, given that it&#39;s all online (I just registered). The online dev environment even has built-in version control. I was wondering how the web environment could write to the board, but your explanation (download the compiled output and drag to the USB drive that the board looks like) makes sense. It&#39;s extremely low cost but is very powerful it seems. It could probably be possible to use the FRDM board with some wires as the programmer portion (i.e. the FRDM board could serve as just a programmer too - i.e. using the OpenSDA functionality on the board), for an off-board device too.</p><p><span>[View:/resized-image/__size/548x338/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-f4390941-79d9-46ac-8e36-e8b86e0870b9/contentimage_5F00_175447.jpg:548:338]</span></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=15710&AppID=296&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
