Part Number:FRDM-K64F

The FRDM-K64F is an ultra-low-cost freedom development platform for Kinetis K64, K63, and K24 MCUs. The FRDM-K64F hardware is form-factor compatible with the Arduino R3 pin layout, providing a broad range of expansion board options. The FRDM-K64F is feature packed with a lot of peripherals to enable rapid prototyping, including a 3-axis digital accelerometer and magnetometer to create full eCompass capabilities, a tri-colored LED and 2 user push-buttons for direct interaction and feedback, expansion memory with a microSD card slot, and connectivity options using onboard Ethernet port and headers for use with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz radio add-on modules.  

The FRDM-K64F platform features OpenSDAv2, the open source hardware embedded serial and debug adapter running an open source bootloader. This circuit offers several options for serial communication, flash programming, and run-control debugging.  

The Freedom K64F development platform is ideal for developing applications that require high memory density, low power, and optimized integration. The Freedom K64F hardware is a simple, yet sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis K series microcontroller, built on the ARM© Cortex®-M4 core.

The Freedom K64F development platform features a MK64FN1M0VLL12, which boasts a maximum operation frequency of 120MHz, 1MB of flash, 256KB RAM, a full-speed USB controller, Ethernet controller, Secure Digital Host controller, and loads of analog and digital peripherals.

Key Applications: Consumer (Gaming systems, Wearables, Smart Phone / Tablets Accessories), Metering (Connected Meters, Smart-Grid Concentrators), Building & Home Automation (Connected Security & access control, Smart Thermostats), Point of Sale & Secure Applications, Factory Automation, Portable Instrumentation

FAQs

What is the supprted JTAG emulator for this freedom board

Part Number # TMDSEMU100V2U-20T(64R0682) is the 20 pin JTG Emulator and the TMDSEMU100V2U-14T (64R0681) USB 14 pin JTAG emulator

Can you build a complete e-compass using this board

This board has 6-axis digital accelerometer and magnetometer (FXOS8700CQ ) to create full eCompass capabilities

What is OpenSDAv2? Does this board support it?

The FRDM-K64F board supports OpenSDAv2. OpenSDAv2 is the Freescale open-source hardware embedded serial and debug adapter running an open-source bootloader. This circuit offers several options for serial communication, flash programming, and run-control debugging.

What kind of interface is provided for debugging on this board

This board supports Signals with SPI and GPIO capability to connect directly to the SWD of K64. These signals are also brought out to a standard 10-pin (0.05”) Cortex debug connector (J9). 

What is the part number of the 10 pin debug cable supported for this board

 A mating cable, such as a Samtec FFSD IDC 10 pin cable (Newark 83K0581, 11P4342 or Farnell/e14 1667659, 1667661 ), can then be used to connect from the OpenSDAv2 of the FRDM-K64F

what are different debug options available on K64 board

There are two debug interfaces on the FRDM-K64F: onboard OpenSDAv2 circuit (J26) and K64 direct SWD connection (J9). This board has Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port with trace output capability. 

Does this board have an RS232 Level shifting device

No, this board does not have a level shifter for RS232.  external devices like Maxim DS3232, should be used with RS-232 devices for proper RS-232 logic levels.
