Which Kinetics MCUs come with ROM Bootloaders?

sgupta — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 19:58:49 GMT

Hi,

Is there a list of Kinetics MCUs that come with Factory programmed bootloader in ROM?
How about example AN that demonstrate the use of Bootloader to download code?

Thanks,

Sudhir Gupta

Hello Sudhir Gupta:

In the next KBOOT product page link you can find the list of devices supporting ROM bootloader:

Kinetis Bootloader|Freescale

There are 3 columns:

Flash-resident bootloader: Bootloader source code for Kinetis MCUs that do not have a pre-programmed bootloader.

Flashloader: Kinetis MCUs that have a pre-programmed bootloader for only one use.

ROM bootloader: Devices with a dedicated ROM memory programed in factory with a bootloader.

And in the same page under "Documentation" tab you will find the Reference Manuals and User Guides.

Regards!,
Jorge Gonzalez

Thank you Jorge. I have been mulling over the list and I am surprised that ROM bootloder is available only in the newer low power devices.
