Moreover, MC1320x is not recommended for new designs, thus I would recommend to use the MCR20A instead. </SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="color: #1f497d;">The software solutions available for MCR20A are quite different for those provided for MC1319x in the past. The new solutions are targeted for Kinetis devices such as K64F and KL46Z micro controllers using Kinetis SDK. MC1319x solutions used to be bare metal and supporting only GT and QE 8-bit MCUs. </SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="color: #1f497d;">Having said this, there might not be a direct or easy way to migrate an existing solution to another, but you could certainly base your application in one of the different software examples available and implement the custom code similarly in the new project.
