IDE for KwikStik

marcinkajor — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 18:57:41 GMT

Hi:) Could anyone recommend any IDE for KwikStik development board? The best solution for me would be freeware license. I've tried to use Kinetis Design Studio but it seems not to work properly as if i was not compatible with the KwikStik (strange hard faults in the CPU interrupts when using the Processor Expert). My purpose is to program a stand alone MCU via the J-Link included in this board.

Regards:)

CodeWarrior 10.6 Special Edition is what you need (although KDS can be used too).

Hello,

You can use the KwikStik with:

• IAR Embedded Workbench (30-day unlimited version and 32 KB limited version)

• Keil MDK (32 KB limited version)

• Green Hills Software MULTI IDE (evaluation version)

• Freescale CodeWarrior 10.6 IDE with Processor Expert auto-code generator. Special Edition includes complimentary C compiler supporting up to 128 KB of object code

• CodeSourcery Sourcery G++ IDE

Have a great day,
Sol

Hello Marcin Kajor:

You have good suggestions there from Mark and Soledad.

In KDS if starting a new project for Kwikstik (K40DX256) there are two options:

One of these will generate hardfaults due to changes in silicon from Rev 1.x to Rev 2.x. Details in AN4445.

I am not sure which specific part number is in your Kwikstik, so I would try with both. Also make sure that the device MK40DX256xxx10 is specified in the J-Link debug configuration, as stated in the next document:

GDB Debugging with Kinetis Design Studio

To be more complete - CW10.6 is probably the "standard" IDE used with the Kwikstik (because it was the one available when it came out and, since the Kwikstik is quite old now, probably it is used only little with never tools) but they will all basically work.

For people who can only use free tool chains CooCox is worth a mention since it is quite slick (another Eclipse based one but streamlined to be very easy to work with) although is missing some debugger/device support.

The Kwikstik (all versions - controlled by a define "KWIKSTIK_V3_V4" for backward compatibility to V5) is also fully supported in the uTasker project µTasker Kinetis support (as seen there, there is a list of about 10 tool chains that it can be used with without needing to worry about compatibility or porting efforts).

For accelerated developments it can also be built and simulated (for testing and debugging) using VisualStudio (Express edition is also free). Below is a screen shot showing how the Kwikstik looks when worked with.

Thank you for your advice:) so the only IDE which supports Processor Expert apart from KDS is CodeWarrior? don't you know if it's possible to acquire CodeWarrior with a student license for academic purpose (for free or with some kind of discount)?

Best regards,

CW Special Edition is free or up to 128k code. That is enough for the Kwikstik in most cases- you will rarely need more that about 60k of code.
