- Connect FRDM-STBA-A8964 Sensor shield board to FRDM-K22F MCU board using Arduino I/O headers
- Connect the Sensor Demonstration Kit (FRDM-STBA-A8964 kitted with FRDM-K22F) to the training PC via the USB cable between the OpenSDA USB port on the board and the USB connector on the PC
- For a smooth 'Out of Box' experience with Sensor development software tools, make sure that the latest version of the default OpenSDA bootloader and firmware application is on the FRDM-K22F. This allows debugging, flash programming and serial communication over a USB cable. Obtain the latest OpenSDA drivers for FRDM boards available at OpenSDA Update to the FRDM boards
