Hi James,

we can use Multilink Universal or  Multilink Universial FX to program KE04

we can refer FRDM-KE04Z schematic SWD design for how to design program interface.

if you already purchased FRDM-KE04Z board, you can debug and program KE04z via OPENSDA usb interface, needn't external programmer.

that helps.

looking at the FRDM-KE04Z, do I have to add the 10 pin micro connector?

Hi James,

The FRDM-KE04Z Freedom boards have on-board debugger capability via the USB connector.  You do not need to populate the 10-pin header.  The USB provides power, debugging, Virtual COM Port, and debugger firmware update capabilities.

For a custom product you develop, then you would need to have a 10-pin debugger header that will work with PEMicro, Segger, and other debugger hardware.

I am developing my own board and need to program it - - - -

from the pictures, the 10 pin programming connector is not installed on

the FRDM - - - -

can I install it and use it to program my own MKE04 design

Seems like it would work.

Please review this great blog (and signup for it too).
