I have two  FRDM-KL25Z boards. Can I use them  program other Kinetis parts? If so, how?

I have some Kinetis parts and need to load programs to the Flash. There is no ROM bootloader on the parts I want to use. Can the FRDM-KL25Z or other low cost evaluation boards be used as a programmer for other Kinetis parts (separate parts, not on the development board but connected to it via SWD, serial, or whatever)?

Other vendors - TI, NXP, STM make this very easy, and I have used them all, but there are some Freescale parts that are better for my purposes.

On a related matter, the Flash code on one of my FRDM-KL25Z is messed up because I put some code in it that corrupted it. How can the original code be restored? A Freescale applications engineer worked with me for a while and was unable to do it.

Hello,

yes, you can use the FRDM boards to program other boards.

You can use it as a programmer (with the MSD bootloader):

Using the Freedom Board as SWD Programmer | MCU on Eclipse

Or you can use it with the debugger (but not with the P&E firmware):

Using the FRDM-KL25Z with CMSIS-DAP to program non-Freescale ARM Microcontrollers | MCU on Eclipse

Debug External Processors with USBDM and Freedom Board | MCU on Eclipse

Segger J-Link Firmware for OpenSDAv2 | MCU on Eclipse

(carefully read for the last option the license agreement).

I hope this helps,

Erich
