Standalone Kinetis Flash Tools

Hi, I'm looking for standalone Kinetis Flash Tools which similar like FlashMagic on LPC that can write/read the flash memory on Kinetis MCU.

The main function I need is to read out the whole flash memory as an Hex file to verify the memory crash issue.

Checked Cyclone and Multilink, it seems don't support this feature.

P&E's devices will do that. I've got a Cyclone ACP on my desk at the moment, hooked up to a MK22FN1M0AVLH12, and the PROGACMP utility that came with it was able to read the flash contents just fine. Should work with the Multilink, too. Of course, this only works if security isn't enabled. Here's a screen shot after using it to verify the loaded contents against the .elf file. I was also able to download it to an .s19 file. Not Intel HEX format, but a hex format, and easily converted to HEX or binary.

Hi Yin,

USBDM provides utilities to read and write Kinetis devices.

Note you can only read unsecured devices.

Have a look at:

USBDM: USBDM Debugger interface for Freescale RS08,HCS08,HCS12,Coldfire and ARM-Kinetis Devices.

USBDM: USBDM RS08/HCS08/HCS12/Coldfire V1,2,3,4/DSC/Kinetis Debugger and Programmer

Programmers are available from several sources or you can build you own or recycle a FRDM board.

If buying one make sure it has a SWD interface.
