Hi,

In general, we recommend customer to use P&E USB Multilink Universal tool or Segger J-Link tool.

And for the cost consideration, it also could use Kinetis FROM board embedded OpenSDA debugger tool, such as FRDM-KL05Z.

Wish it helps.

Have a great day,
Ma Hui

thank you very much,

the Segger says that does not implement SWO for KDS IDE, this is important?

SWO enables things like printf and variable watching, but I don't think it's the only way to get those features. I am able to set watches just fine in my code without SWO, and if I really need printf, I enable semihosting and my console output appears in a dedicated window in KDS, which is nice.
