Freescale FRDM-KL25Z

This is a demo board for the Freescale Cortex-M0+ CPU.

Headers

The FRDM-KL25Z doesn't come with header sockets, the following items were bought to fulfil this requirement.

1 x TE CONNECTIVITY / AMP-215307-6-SOCKET, VERTICAL, 2ROW, 12WAY
2 x TE CONNECTIVITY / AMP-215307-8-SOCKET, VERTICAL, 2ROW, 16WAY
1 x TE CONNECTIVITY / AMP-1-215307-0-SOCKET, VERTICAL, 2ROW, 20WAY

One day I may solder them in place.

Firmware

Out the box this board doesn't work with anything resembling a modern day computer so I never used it until now some 8 years after buying it in 2014.

Without an upgrade it doesn't work in any variety of Linux or Windows after 7. The fact that it doesn't work with anything except XP and 7 means it's very hard to upgrade.

You have to download new firmware to upgrade it from version 0.11 to something higher. Somehow I managed to get it working using Windows XP in a VirtualBox VM.

Once that magically worked I updated it to J-Link for NXP.

The files I think I used to proceed were (I have a bad memory but this is probably close):

DEBUG-APP_Pemicro_v108.SDA
BOOTUPDATEAPP_Pemicro_v111.SDA
12_OpenSDA_FRDM-KL25Z.bin

Good luck.
