USB Mouse in KDS   Description:   A project made in KDS using the accelerometer on a FRDM-KL25Z128M4 board to control a USB mouse input. The LED will flash red while not connected as a USB mouse, and flash green when it is. The reset button will left click.   Sensitivity of the mouse can be changed by altering the HIDM1_Move command in main.c Reset button can be changed from left to right click by altering comments in main.c   Sections of code taken from: - http://mcuoneclipse.com/2012/09/21/tutorial-accelerating-the-kl25z-freedom-board/ - http://mcuoneclipse.com/2013/08/01/using-the-frdm-kl25z-as-a-usb-mouse-device/

hi, Thank you for your response. Now am sending the file in  .doc format please check it once and let me know where are the mistakes in porting. Thanks and Regards, Padmaja

Light Intensity in KDS   Description:   A project made in KDS using the FRDM-MKL46Z256VLL4 board's LCD screen to display light intensity. The LCD will display light intensity taken from the light sensor.

Based on Erich's HID Mouse tutorial, this is a simple HID compliant Air Mouse, with the pointer being controlled using the onboard accelerometer.     A full Tutorial on how to make this project is available inside the Zip under "Simple Air Mouse on a FRDM KL25Z.pdf". It aims to fully explain the process of building the project in KDS, how to set up the board for HID interaction and how to setup the accelerometer.   Thanks go to Erich Styger for the original tutorial and insight, along with his incredibly handy component library.   If i've been confusing or have forgotten to note something (as I no doubt will have), please don't be afraid to message in to let me know and i'll update the relevant files.

KDS V1.0.1 (beta) is using the GNU 4.8.0 toolchain, while the latest and greatest from ARM Inc. on launchpad is the 4.8.2 GCC ARM Embedded.   KDS V1.0.1 (beta) is using an older newlib nano which requires at least 400 bytes of HEAP memory. This is an issue for smaller Kinetis devices (e.g. less than 2 KByte of RAM). It is possible to switch the tool chain and libraries in KDS to the 4.8.4 (or later) from ARM/launchpad.   The following article describes the details and steps to use a different toolchain than the default one: http://mcuoneclipse.com/2014/07/11/switching-arm-gnu-tool-chain-and-libraries-in-kinetis-design-studio/ Basically it means to put the GCC ARM Embedded into a special folder inside KDS. That article explains as well the differences between the original KDS tool chain and the GCC ARM Embedded one.

NXP Touch software (http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/kinetis-cortex-m/kinetis-symbols-footprints-and-models/freescale-touch-software:FREESCALE-TOUCH-SOFTWARE ) is designed to speed development of your touch applications and is ideal for use with Kinetis MCUs. Because it is available as both a binary library and also in source code, many customers like using it.   Recently I received several cases from customers that some of our customers can’t run this package successfully. So I start to write this document of how to use this package to make this package “run” on your board!

In case you have created a project without Processor Expert option enabled at project creation time, it might be the easiest way just to create a new project with Processor Expert enabled, and then move things over. In case this approach is not feasible, then the following document outlines the steps to concert such a project into a Processor Expert project: Adding PEx to KDS bareboard project (with SDK) | Freescale Community   Happy Converting 🙂

A new updated plugins is available from P&E with extended device support (see list at the end) for KDS V1.1.1:   NOTE: You need V1.1.1 for this update, as V1.1.0 has an issue with updating the P&E plugins, unless you apply a manual workaround. See the V1.1.0 release notes.   Use the menu Help > Install New software and use the PEmicro update site from the list: Select the updated plugin, and press 'Next' to go through the installation. At the end, you are asked to re-start KDS.     Release Note information: KDS_513_b140905 includes the following features and bug fixes:   (*) Adds device support for the following devices: (*) Add MBED/PEMICRO OpenSDA support for FRDM-K22F and FRDM-K64F boards   Kinetis - K24 Series k24fn256m12   Kinetis - KL17/KL27/KL33/43 Series kl17z32m4 kl17z64m4 kl17z128m4 kl17z256m4 kl27z32m4 kl27z64m4 kl27z128m4 kl27z256m4 kl33z128m4 kl33z256m4 kl43z128m4 kl43z256m4   Kinetis - KMx - Photon3 km14z64am5 km14z128am5 km33z64am5 km33z128am5 km34z128am5   Kinetis - KV4x kv40f64m15 kv40f128m15 kv40f256m15 kv43f64m15 kv43f128m15 kv44f64m15 kv44f128m15 kv45f128m15 kv45f256m15 kv46f128m15 kv46f256m15   Kinetis - K11/K21 - K20 512k/1Mb k11dn512am5 k11dx128am5 k11dx256am5 k21dn512am5 k21dx128am5 k21dx256am5 k21fn1m0am12 k21fx512am12   Kinetis- K02F Series: K02F128M10 K02F64M10   Kinetis- KW Series:   KW01Z128 KW21D256M5 KW21D512M5 KW22D512M5 KW24D512M5   Kinetis- K66/65 Series: K66FX1M0M18 K65FX1M0M18 K66FN2M0M18 K65FN2M0M18   Kinetis - WPR Series alpha WPR1516M2   KDS_506c_b140807 includes the following features and bug fixes:   Plugin Version 1.12.   ENGR00325552 - Includes changes to p2.inf to include both metadata and artifact repositories on the same line.

Blinking the LED in KDS   Description:   This is a small project made in KDS on a FRDM-MK64FN1M0VLL12 board. The blue LED toggles off and on every second, controlled by a timed interrupt.

This is a list of tutorials about using the Kinetis SDK with either Kinetis Design Studio or Eclipse Kepler and the GNU ARM build tools. They use the FRDM-K64F board, but any other board/microcontroller supported by the Kinetis SDK can be used.   Project creation and Startup code:  Tutorial: DIY Kinetis SDK Project with Eclipse – Startup | MCU on Eclipse Board configuration: Tutorial: DIY Kinetis SDK Project with Eclipse – Board Configuration | MCU on Eclipse

KDS does not come with a register level detail view included, only the ARM core non-memory mapped registers are displayed in the Registers view. There is an open source Eclipse plugin which can be added to KDS which brings register level details: For this view, install the EmbSys Eclipse plugin, and apply a patch (zip file) to get all the Freescale register detail information in SVD (XML) files. The installation and usage of the plugin is described in: http://mcuoneclipse.com/2014/05/29/how-to-add-register-details-view-in-eclipse/   The patch files which fix an issue in the existing plugin (see EmbSys Registers View with CMSIS-SVD dimElementGroup | MCU on Eclipse) and adds extra Freescale SVD files to the installation (see Updated Eclipse EmbSysReg Viewer with extra Freescale SVD Files | MCU on Eclipse).   The patch files are hosted on SourceForge: McuOnEclipse - Browse /Eclipse Plugins/EmbSysReg at SourceForge.net   Happy Registering 🙂
