Get to Know the FRDM-KW24D512 The Freescale Freedom development platform is a set of software and hardware tools for evaluation and development. It is ideal for rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based applications. The Freescale Freedom KW24 hardware, FRDM-KW24D512, is a simple, yet sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis W series MCU, the industry’s first MCU built on the ARM® Cortex® M4 core.
FRDM-KW24D512 Operation Description • The KW24 operating frequency range is 2405 MHz to 2480 MHz, the data rate is 250 Kbps, and the modulation type is OQPSK – all of these parameters are defined by the 802.15.4 standard. • The antenna is a fixed printed inverted “F”, or PIFA antenna on the PCB. The operating voltage for the KW24 is 3.3V and the current for TX/RX is < 20 mA. The KW24 crystal oscillator is 32 MHz and the radio uses an internal PLL to generate the RF frequency.
Getting Started Out of the Box Installing Drivers and Running the Out of Box Demo 0 Optional: Download and Install the mbed serial configuration drivers from https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration 1 FRDM-KW24D512 comes with the mass-storage device (MSD) Flash Programmer OpenSDA Application pre-installed. It will appear as a removable storage drive with a volume label of FRDM-KW24D512.
Introduction to OpenSDA 1 of 2 OpenSDA is an open-standard serial and debug adapter. It bridges serial and debug communications between a USB host and an embedded target processor. OpenSDA software includes a flash-resident USB mass-storage device (MSD) bootloader and a collection of OpenSDA Applications.
Introduction to OpenSDA 2 of 2 The MSD Flash Programmer is a composite USB application that provides a virtual serial port and an easy and convenient way to program applications into the KW24 MCU. It emulates a FAT16 file system, appearing as a removable drive in the host file system with a volume label of ‘DAPLink’. Raw binary files that are copied to the drive are programmed directly into the flash of the KW24 and executed automatically.
