First board Kinetis K60

Hi,

I am amatour robot designer. In my short live I build a lot of different construction for example robot arm , propeller clock , microsumo robot, minisumo robot (btw. my last minisumo (Mirror) robot won the European robot competition in third place). All of this construction connect one thing. This is the CPU. I used to use Atmega CPUs ,but today I am going to change my preferences to Freescale CPUs. Three days ago I sarted design new board where the CPU will be MK60DN512VLL10. I have got some troubles. Firstly I couldn`t find any library of this CPU to Altium Designer (but I designe new library in my own). Second problem is that I can`t find any datasheet ,only one I found have got only 70 pages and I haven`t got there any informations about: How to programm this CPU ? What functions have right pins (I don`t know how to write it in english. I mean for example PTE5). What is the minimum connection of the processor outputs ?

I need some examples of board with this CPU.

I will be greatful for any help. Z góry dziękuję.

You can download the documents from here http://www.freescale.com/zh-Hans/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=K60_100&nodeId=01624698C9DE2DDDAF&fpsp=1&tab=Documentation_Tab

The sample code of your cpu is "KINETIS512_V2_SC"can been found herehttp://www.freescale.com/zh-Hans/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=K60_100&nodeId=01624698C9DE2DDDAF&fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab

This is the Tower System Module for your cpu TWR-K60D100M http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=TWR-K60D100M&tid=m32TWR

Hi paczkaexpres

Congratulation you win the European robot competition in third place and I'm also glad that you choose Freescale MCU in your new desgin. About your first question, Freescale hasn't provide the library of MCU based on Altium Designer now, however the library based Cadence is provided. Then I will provide you some links which you will find information about K60 which is helpful for your desgin.

I designed my own library of this CPU. I would like to share it in this forum but I don`t know how to do this.

Can you tell me how I can program this MCU ? I need additional programming module ? I have got freescale XL StarBoard and Freedom board. Can I use this evaluating board to program ?

Hi Paczyński,

I'm glad to learn that you desgned the library of K60 and want to share it with others in community. To share it, you can click the Create(Fig 1), then select the Document or Blog Post to introduce your library is Ok.

Fig 2 shows the supported programmer of K60 and the linker is below. I think use evaluating board to program is available and the details you can refer to the User's Manual of the evaluating board.

Thanks for help. Mayby someone of you tried to program Freescale mcu using evaluating board ? I read that using Freedom board I can program only another Freedom board.

I have got second mcu but I can`t figure out what his name is (on mcu is description -> M10a7v).

Hi Paczyński,

I am sorry for the reply so late because I am on vacation. I think use evaluating board to program Freescale mcu could work. For example, we can use the OpenSDA interface of FRDMKL25Z to debug an off-board MCU. The second MCU is K10 series.

The attached is K10 Family Product Brief then you can find the detail description of your MCU in it.

Best Regards,
