How can I port an IAR project into KDS?

[davidhayner]

Have have the TWR-K20D72M board and I am trying to get started on some projects.  I cannot find any starter projects for this board.  It is shipped with an example developed with IAR tools and I have that library.  Any suggestions as to how to port this into KDS?

Hi David

See http://www.utasker.com/kinetis/TWR-K20D72M.html

It works with CW, KDS, IAR, Keil, Rowley, Atollic, Green Hills, CooCox, GCC and VisualStudio so needs no porting.

Completely free for non-commercial use with fast-track support in this forum.

Mark, Thanks.

But what I am looking for is either a complete example (including support files) for the TWR-K20D72M in the KDS tool chain or a way to port the IAR example provided with the board into KDS.

Thanks

Hello David:

In the TWR-K20D72M product page you can find some example applications developed with CodeWarrior. The package is called TWR-K20D72M_LAB:

Kinetis K20 72 MHz MCU Tower System Module|Freescale

You can start with these. If you wish you can migrate those to KDS, it is easier than migrating from IAR. A guide document in the next link in community:

Thanks for the link. Downloaded and I am studying the code.

Hi David

The uTasker is a complete frame work for TWR-K20D72M with KDS (with support files, K20 simulator, USB stack, dynamic low power support, interrupt and DMA drivers etc.). The page has some binaries built with it so that people can quickly test something but there is a link to the complete source there too. There is a porting video (for CW and KDS) and a complete KDS based TWR-K20D72M project can be up and running within 10 minutes when followed correctly.

To port IAR examples to KDS means exchanging the startup files and adapting some details - adding the files etc. is simple because KDS will include all that it finds in the project directory. I have done it many times for many compilers and could do it in an emergency in case you need the example urgently for commercial work. The IAR examples are however usually quite simple demonstrations and so are rarely of much use for more that first steps.
