Need suggestion reagarding IDE to compile kinetis Bootloader V1.1.0

[rutvijtrivedi]

Hello,

I have purchased FRDM-KL25Z evolution kit and working on customization of Bootloader of this controller. For this, I followed below steps:

1) Downloaded Freescale Kinetis Bootloader 1.1.0 package. Please find below link.

Kinetis Bootloader|Freescale

2) Download IAR & Kinetis Design Studio v3.0.

As per documentation of Kinetis Bootloader can be built using IAR only. So my queries are as per below.

1) What is the compilation steps using IAR to compile this bootloader source code and how can I load generated binaries into this evolution kit?

2) How can I get .srec format of output file generated from this bootloader in IAR?

3) Is there any other IDEs available to compile this Bootloader source code? If yes, please share the compilation steps of it.

Any help in this case would be great appreciated.

Thanks,

Rutvij

Hi David,

Thank you for your quick response.

Please update me as soon as Release of KBOOT v1.2.0 get freezes.

So now I am going to try to compile KBOOT v1.1.0 on IAR until boot loader code for KDS released. So can you please tell me the compilation steps for it and how can I generate the binary file which can be loaded into FRDM-KL25z ?

Right now i m importing "bootloader.eww" from MKL25Z4 targets(which is in FSL_Kinetis_Bootloader_1_1_0 package) directory which after compilation generates .elf binary format.

Thanks Again.

I really don't understand why "Correct Answer" was given to questions but not to the answers?

In the linker option choose Converter category and set appropriate option to generate srec file.
