KDS support for FRDM-KL03

[MarcoGiammarini]

I have buyed a FRDM-KL03, but I can't see support into KDS and CW10.6! Why? when is planned?

how you can sell a product for which there is still no support?

Thanks

Marco

Hi Marco,

Goto the FRDM-KL03 product page:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=FRDM-KL03Z

Click on Downloads tab:

Then you can download a separate KSDK installer for Linux or Windows.

I did the Windows version as FYI.

Install the KL03 KSDK (defaults to c:\Freescale folder).

I told the installer not to update the Windows path when asked.

I opened KSD1.1.1 and pointed the Workspace to the root folder of KSDK for KL03:

i.e. C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.0.0-KL03Z

I then used the Help-->Install New Software…

Click Add button then click Archive and point to following folder:

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.0.0-KL03Z\tools\eclipse_update

Follow the wizard to install and agree with the legal stuff.

This will add in the KL03 Freedom to the Boards and Processors optioned when doing a File--> Kinetis Design Studio Project.

In December when KDS1.2 is released then KL03 will be integrated with it and not be a standalone install.

Regards,

David

It doesn't work fom me,

I followed the instructions but, the KDS keep telling me: "Could not find  file:/C:/Freescale/KSDK_1.1.0/tools/eclipse_update/" see attached image. The files are availabe on the given location but I'm not able to install them.
Am I doing something wrong?

I m on a 64bit Windows 8 system.

Kind regards

Alex.

Hi Marco,

CW for MCU10.6 won't support new devices. New device support goes with KDS and Kinetis SDK.

There is a KL03Z SDK available on the SDK download page:

Software Development Kit for Kinetis MCUs|Freescale

Install that SDK, and then you get an KDS update in

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.0.0-KL03Z\tools\eclipse_update

Use the menu Help > Install New Software in KDS to install it.

I hope this helps,

Erich
