Hello FRDM-KL25Z buyer

 

You are already thousands of customers who ordered this board.

In order to make your life easier, with a single place where to find relevant informations concerning this tool, I will try to collect in this post the answered questions concerning FRDM-KL25Z, found in different places like Freescale community, groups from Element14 Community or anywhere on the web ...

 

I will publish regularly (in the document section from this group) some very instructive tutorials produced by my colleague Erich Styger, which should help you to take in hand FRDM-KL25Z and its software tools (Codewarrior 10.3beta, Processor Expert ...).

 

Don't hesitate to post here your new questions that we can answer it and share it with the community.

  • QUESTION

    I would like to buy a Kinetis Freedom Board FRDM-KL25ZFRDM-KL25Z which comes with the MKL25Z128VLK4MKL25Z128VLK4 MCU. I also want to buy some units of the MCU and it's respective programmer/flasher, to be able to build some custom circuits.

    But the tool listed as the programmer ( Cyclone Max - Cyclone MAX Product Summary Page  ) seems to have many extra features that I don't need right now. So I would like a cheaper programmer.

    Would the P&E U-MultilinkP&E U-Multilink interface allows me to perform in circuit programming/flashing of the MKL25Z128VLK4 MCU?

     

    ANSWER

    P&E USB Multilink Universal will allow you to perform in circuit USB flash programming of the MKL25Z128VLK4 MCU.

    Then this is just the question of the quantity of pieces that you would like to program and the accessibility/flexibility of the tool.

    Less than 1000pcs to program UMultilink is the right tool and Umultilink FX would be faster which is insteresting for high memory sizes.

    More than 1000pcs to program in a classical factory assembly chain, it would be recommanded to choose a standalone flash programming tool, embedding its own memory or an sd-card port to store the project code (no computer needed) and a simple button to push to avoid handling errors.
