KDS Kinetis Bootloader (KBOOT) Support

[ramstell]

The current version of the Bootloader V1.1.0 seems to only support the IAR Toolchain.

Are there plans to add support for Kinetis Design Studio?

Kind regards

Hi Iva,

I am using KDS 3.0.0 and KSDK 1.2.0 to build FREEDOM K64F Bootloader and found the problem, see attached doc.

Please let me know where the problem can be?

Thanks,

Christie

Hi Cristie,

Those errors happen because the project was imported to the workspace with the "Copy projects into workspace" enabled, when you only import the example project to your workspace, then you are leaving the project in its original location in the file system and the links are still valid, but when you "copy" the project to the workspace, only the project folder is copied and not the linked files/resources causing those errors when compiling.

In order to fix the problems you need to delete that project from your workspace and import the example again but this time make sure the "Copy projects into workspace" is not selected:

Hope it helps!

Hi Gorge/Carlos,

I am using bootloader for FREEDOM K64F project to generate the *.elf and works fine.

Then I use P&E "Debug" to load it into my board, nothing wrong.

But, when I run it, nothing displayed on HyperTerminal. I am using PTB16/PTB17 as my UART port. In this project it says PTA14/15 in bootloader_config.h that I think is wrong.

Could you tell me there is any way to see it is running on UART0? I confirmed that my UART0 is working fine by using another project?

Thanks,

Christie

Hi Cristie,

I would recommend you to create a new post for this question on the Kinetis Microcontrollers​ community.

Hello Christie:

Remove the project from the workspace and import it again but DO NOT select "Copy projects into workspace":

The source and header files are "linked" to the project. If you copy the project then the links are broken.

Hi Iva,

I am using MK64FN1M0VLL12 MCU that is the same as FREEDOM K64F platform.

Can I make both development environments available?

Thanks,

Christie

Thanks,

Slight update to release....sorry for delay.

Original date was last week. But we have been fixing a pinmux issue and adding some ease-of-use feature. ETA would be early next week.

Hi Iva,

The version 1.2 is released. Thank you. I have the following question:

I am using KDS 2.0.0 and KSDK 1.1.0 now.

Do I have to use KDS 3.0.0 and KSDK 1.2.0?

Can I make both development available on the same machine?

Thanks,

Christie

Hello Christie Su,

Yes, it is better to use these newest versions.

When you have project developed in KSDK 1.1.0 you should migrate your project to KSDK 1.2 because structure changes greatly.

please what device are you using?

Regards!
