I am new to working with ARM processors, but I have worked with MSP430F with IAR IDE for many years. Again, this is new to me so if I am asking a dumb question, be patient. I bought an FRDM-KE04Z board to try and get started. I have found it will sort of do what the documentation says on a Windows 7 system (it will run the ADC example with HyperTerminal, it will not run the preloaded Cap touch or the multicolor LED). But it will not work on Windows 8 or Windows 10. I installed the USB drivers successfully, I plug it in, and the error code starts flashing on the LED, and nothing works.
I like this processor due to its low cost and ADC peripheral. I want to use in in an instrument I am designing, but so far I am stuck at the starting gate.
What I want to do:
Have this work on Windows 10.
Use the KDS IDE on Windows 10. Right now it will not let me select a processor. All the controls are disabled at this step.
Use a Segger J-Link with the SDW interface.
Does anybody out there have any ideas that will help me do this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Sid,
Please notice that KDS only supports Windows® 7/8 (32-bit binaries running on 32 and 64-bit OS), so installing it on Windows 10 is not recommended.
Regarding the problem with Windows 8, I think it might be related with the OpenSDA firmware on your board, please take a look to the following post created by a colleague that explains how to fix this issue:
New P&E OpenSDA Firmware v114 | MCU on Eclipse
Hope it helps!

It could be your anti-virus software. Before I switched to Linux for development I had similar problems. The anti-virus code steps in and messes up the low level communication with the board. Try disabling your anti-virus then test it again.
