KDS for KL03?

[angelsix]

I've got some KL03 chips coming, and the FRDM-KL03Z coming. I'm trying to figure out how to program them.

Apparently you can use the KDS, which is even on the KL03 page as the software to use.

I've downloaded KDS from the website, for Mac and Windows. Doesn't even open on Mac freezes at the selecting a workspace folder. On windows it installs but creating a new project or anything else, in the Processors and Boards it doesnt have the KL03's.

Done hte Check for Updates and updated to 3.1.0 which also doesnt show any support for it.

Downloaded the SDK 1.3 but it just installs into a seperate folder and I have no way to do anything with it or "link" it to KDS.

So right now, I can't find a way to even write a single line of code for the KL03 chips?

Are you using El Capitan? If so, there is a known problem (and solution) here:

KDS on OS X El Capitan (Beta)

KDS 3 For OS X El Capitan - Not Working

I hope this helps,

I am but I got the Windows one working fine. Still doesnt change the fact it doesnt support KL03 processors?

Have you downloaded and installede the Kinetis SDK, and then applied the following Eclipse update:

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.3.0\tools\eclipse_update\KSDK_1.3.0_Eclipse_Update.zip

?

Thanks. Thats the part I was missing. Now I can create projects for the KL03 processors.

One more question save opening another thread for a related topic. What programmers work with the KL03s? I have ordered a Cyclone Max and a U-multilink. Will either of those do the job?

The usual choices are: P&E Multilink (P&E Microcomputer Systems ) or Segger J-Link (SEGGER). Both companies have multiple offerings with different features and price points. I'm personally both using the P&E Multilink and the Segger J-Link, but there are other vendors offering JTAG/SWD debug probes for ARM devices.
