Dear Element14 and Freedom users,
The first Freescale Freedom board, FRDM-KL25Z, based on a Kinetis-L2, an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU with an USB controller, was launched six months ago.
During this time, thousands of FRDM-KL25Z boards have been sold, two new Freedom boards, FRDM-KL05Z and FRDM-K20D50M, have been launched and we have tryed to provide the right support level to get familiar with the new Kinetis-L family and the Freedom platform.
FRDM-K05Z will be the recommended dev. tool, if you are migrating from the 8-bit MCU world and you are looking for an easy
FRDM-KL25Z will be the right choice to evaluate Kinetis-L0x, L1x, L2x MCUs, if you feel confortable with C-programming of 32-bit MCUs or if you need 16-bit ADC resolutions and an USB Controller onboard
FRDM-K20D50M increases FRDM-KL25Z performances thanks to the Kinetis-K20, an ARM Cortex-M4 MCU with DSP instructions
Each Freedom board has its own documentation, an User Manual and a Schematic, its own software package, a Quick Start Package QSP with SREC Precompiled Project Examples to simply drag'n drop in Windows Explorer in OpenSDA MSD Mode and a Sample_Code package SC with editable project examples for Codewarrior, IAR, Keil ...
Then we are posting in the Documents section any information relevant to improve the user experience (tutorial, review, trick & tips, FAQ).
In a collaborative approach, it could be nice to share with other users your experience with the Freescale Freedom Development Platform (please indicate your FRDM version) ?
Help us to better understand your needs, with more details about your application and its constraints ?
This thread must be focussed on the community of users, in order to provide the right level of support with those boards
Thanks in advance for your help
