Getting Started with FRDM KW019032 Evaluation Board

In this step, you will be guided to download the software and tools required to build and run the connectivity solutions.

2.1 2.1 Download KW01 Connectivity Software!

Want to learn about SDK

The KW01 Connectivity Software package integrates the Kinetis Software Development Kit 1.3 and all the wireless connectivity stacks required to develop your solution using IEEE 802.15.4 and SMAC wireless connectivity stacks. Click below to download the KW01 Connectivity Software v1.0.0 for your computer.

2.2 2.2 Install Your Toolchain

IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm (EWARM) version 7.40.2 or later is the development toolchain used to deploy software applications using the NXP Connectivity stacks. NXP provides example EWARM workspace projects for you to start your developent.

Want to use a different toolchain? Right now, the only supported toolchain is IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm; we are currently working on the enablement of NXP KDS for the Connectivity stacks.

2.3 2.3 PC Configuration

Many of the example applications output data over the MCU UART so you'll want to make sure that thedriver for the board's virtual COM port is installed. Before you run the driver installer, you MUST have the board plugged in to your PC.

With the serial port driver installed, run your favorite terminal application to view the serial output from the MCU's UART. Configure the terminal to 115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. To determine the port number of the FRDM-KW019032's virtual COM port, open the device manager and look under the "Ports" group. Not sure how to use a terminal application?

Each of the Wireless Connectivity Stack comes with a list of demo applications and driver examples ready to be compiled and run

3.1 3.1 Select the Connectivity Stack that you want to explore.

3.2 3.2 Build, Run and Debug Wireless Connectivity Examples

You probably want to build and debug a demo by yourself. Use the guide below to learn how to build and debug an example application using one of the Wireless Connectivity Stacks provided by NXP.

SMAC

4.1 4.1 Create your own project!

NXP provides a tool called "Project Cloner" which will allow you to copy an existing demo to use it as a base for your own development, keeping the original demo app sources for reference.

4.2 4.2 Run the Project Cloner

To create a clone of an example project:

Launch the Project Cloner executable which is located at:
\ConnSw\tools\project_cloner\project_cloner.exe

Verify the Project Cloner GUI is displayed.

• Codebase path: Connectivity Stack path folder.
• Clone example app: Demo Applications available for the selected stack.
• Clone configuration: Select from the available development boards, RTOS and Toolchains.
• Cloned app name: Name that the cloned project will have.
• Destination root path: Folder where the cloned project will be created.
• Select:
  • Clone application files only: Clone the app, boards, and platform files in the stack installation – the other files will be linked from the stack installation folder using an environment variable.
  • Clone full codebase: Clone the full files, folders and libraries.

Select an example demo to be cloned and fill the options

Press "Clone Project" to create the cloned application. A message log will be displayed in the log box as files are being copied. (Destination files will be overwritten if they already exist)

4.3 4.3 Open Your Project

Your new project will be located in path specified in the previous step . Open the project in IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm by using the same process described in Section 3.2.

4.4 4.4 Start creating your own application

Modify your recently cloned application to start your own design!

For more information about the application and the APIs available, please, look at the "Applications Development Guide".

4.5 4.5 Kinetis SDK platform

The Wireless Connectivity Stack platforms make use of the Kinetis SDK low level drivers, take a look into the SDK Demo Applications if you want to add a driver that is not currently used on the Connectivity Demo Applications.
