TWR-K60F120M SDK download - not an option

[fullbandwidth]

From the MCUXpresso SDK downlink page, it asks me to select my dev board - but TWR-K60F120M is not an option. If I select TWR-K64F120M, will the resulting SDK work with my dev board?

Thanks

Hi Austin:

MCUXpresso SDK not supports TWR-K60F120M board.  SDK for TWR-K64F120M can not work with your dev board.

For twr-k60f120m, you can use bare metal or MQX 4.2 for development.

Thanks Daniel. What is the timeframe for SDK support for TWR_K60F120M in MCUXpresso? Seems like without that support, if I have to use bare metal or generic M4, it's a step backwards from using Kinetis Design Studio.  I want to use the latest software development tools and the most complete development environment for my K60F development, but it's not clear to me which NXP product is appropriate.

Hi

MCUXpresso supports TWR-K60D100M.

But no plan to support TWR-K60F120M. Now the supported IDEs for this board are:  codewarrior, keil. KDS. IAR.

OK Thanks Daniel. Would you please provide the link to the KDS project(s) for this board, I was only able to find projects for CW, Keil and IAR. Thinking CW is Eclipse-based, I tried to import that project but was unsuccessful. I need some basic project to start with - even hello world or blinking LED or something. There are plenty of source code examples out there but without a project and startup code it's difficult to get a build.

Best Wishes,

Stuart

You can download MQX 4.2 package, you can get the hello world project for TWR-K60F120M with KDS support.

Learn to use MQX|NXP

Hi Stuart,

other than the MQX projects, you can use for example Processor Expert with/without FreeRTOS. I have example projects for this on GitHub here:

mcuoneclipse/Examples/KDS/TWR-K60F120M at master · ErichStyger/mcuoneclipse · GitHub 

with a related article:

USB with the TWR-K60F120M and TWR-K70F120M | MCU on Eclipse 

And because the K60 was one of the early Kinetis devices: make sure you have a read of the errata, as depending on the mask/silicon revision examples have to implement workarounds.

I hope this helps,

Erich
