Freescale Freedom FRDM-K64F Development Platform

Yes, thank you! I have got it working now.

Hi Magnus, have you got this working now? Was it the buffer size, I'm pretty sure that I got the same error at first but it's been working great since I added the fix

Hi,

I’m stuck on getting this board to work with the mbed HTTPClient, asked for help there:

http://developer.mbed.org/questions/6774/Why-is-a-simple-GET-failing-with-protoco/

do any of you have any pointers or ideas?

Woah, that was quick.  Thanks for clearing that up
Yes, I was quiet busy with my projects and I just had enough time to keep track of few things happening here in this community(as you know, once you get in here you just can't go far from this world, isn't it? )
I am still worried about my roatest review, I need to complete it asap and many things are still pending till date.
What about you? I guess you already have operated that kit succesfully with all your tools, drill machines, lasers beams, hammers, acids etc. etc.

   Long time no hear, amigos! The good news is you can enter your data because on the right near middle top is "Edit" to review/rewrite as you wish.

I have a question
Is it possible to upload/update content if I submit my roadtest review? Is it like, I have to write all the review at once or I can keep on updating my review untill the end date?

The Keil example codes are not building, as it is showing some path issues. Does any one tried this board with linux based arm-none-eabi-gcc?

Also is it possible to do source level debugging on this board without an external debugger? Any openocd support available? Got this board three days before, feeling little bit strange compared to stm32, lm4f, lpc etc Also couldn't find a lot of documentation and working examples compared to ST and TI. The good thing I noticed is the mass storage bootloader ...

I got one of these kits to review. My plan was to write a review based on using the K64F with MBED to do very similar things as the kit, so it was slightly ironic that I got a kit to do exactly that. It's nice that you can get something working within minutes of opening the box but just using  the K64F board you achive the same thing, you've just got a bit more coding, which isn't always a bad thing, you'll end up with a much more flexible solution.  I'm going to stick with my original plan and show how you can do similar thinsg just with the K64F i.e. I'm not using the addon board or the IBM services.

For my review I've created a few examples, I've a simple "weather station" which uses a combination of connected sensors  and web services to show how you can easily get forcast data from web APIs The example also shows how you can use the popular thingspeak api to chart your results.  I've also got an example of updating a webpage real time with the Accelerometer + Magnetometer data from the board. I've just finished getting the examples working so I'll start on the write up this week

If I get a chance I'll add on a review of the complete kit.

Regardless if you use the Add-on board the K64F and the MBED platform is a nice environment which you can read about in my review shortly

Looking forward to the reviews!

It could very well be that the feedback we get from the RoadTest will influence the final price of the kit!  Certainly, I'll take that feedback to ARM / IBM.

Looks like an interesting kit, but the price "somewhere between $50 and $200" is a bit vague. Not sure how much people would be willing to pay, but $200 seems like a lot of money for a kit.

Those of you who received the ARM / IBM kit may find this interesting -

Meanwhile, the parcel with FRDM-K64F has reached far Russia! Many thanks to Christian!

Yippee!

The postman arrived with the long awaited package!

Many thanks to doctorcdf,

Clem

Look what I got -

Thank you Doc Christian DeFeo (doctorcdf) .. but I am afraid I cannot work on this Kit right now; I will start working on this Kit from next month as my Brother's Wedding is at the end week of this month and about Indian Weddings...it takes about whole month for preparation and I am still busy with that only. That's the only reason I am inactive in this community since last few weeks. I hope community members will understand my situation and I apologize for that.
Also, I wanted to interface a TFT LCD with this kit but unfortunately I accidently broked it, but the good thing is I have already ordered a new one and it will take 10-30 days to get delivered here.

Once again, I am really sorry and I will start updating this Roadtest review blog near the end of this month or from the beginning of the next month.

Thank you Doc Christian DeFeo, both Kits are amazing. Indeed, as Clem said waiting does have it's rewards and for this additional reward I am making few more additions in my to do list.

I'm pleased to say that we now have enough (standard) FRDM-K64Fs to cover the remaining gaps.  We will be sending these as soon as we can.

This just shows that good things come to those who wait.

Thank you goes to Doc @Christian DeFeo,

     I see waiting does have it's rewards. @Peter Oakes shows what is inside and I say "That is impressive!"...BTW,I am taking a EDX course and they use Keil IDE. I think I will incorporate this hardware into it when the FRDM-K64F based kit arrives.

Thanks again,

Clem

This may help, I am pretty sure this is the one
