Hello
I plan to use 2 KL03z to transfer lpuart serial data between each other, one as a Transmitter and another as a Receiver. Since the KL03z has IrDA capability, I want to experiment with transferring serial data using IR LED from the transmitting KL03z to a photodiode on the receiving KL03z.
Currently, I'm using the lpuart_non_blocking example from ksdk 1.3 to debug serial communication from PC. Though it seems the lpuart is set in internal loopback mode. How can I change the mode to test loopback using a jumper from Tx to Rx pin?
For IrDA, I would need to know how to change the SIM_SOPT5 to set the Tx pin output to TPM_Ch0 and Rx pin to receive from CMP0.
But there haven't been many examples of an IrDA code for ksdk 1.3, so I'm still unsure how to change the SIM_SOPT5 and the correct TPM or CMP initialization. Can anybody give a pointer?
I am also curious about the part number of the lpuart module that the KL03z uses. To check which voltage level it considers TTL high or low.
I appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you!
Hi @SantoRy
As Bob pointed out, the KSDK is no longer recommend, you may shift to the MCUxpresso SDK. As much I would like to share a ilustrative example, unfortunately , we do not have any irDA example using the KL03Z MCUs in our most recent SDK.
Also, there are application demos using the TPM and a ACMP for infrared communication. Altougth they are made for legacy technologies you may check them as a reference.
Using the MCF51EM Family for Infrared Communication
IrDA Driver and SD Card File System on MM/JE Flexis Families
Of course, there are implementations of the irDA for the KE and KM families , however this series of MCUs use a more advance peripherals like the Flextimer, which is continuation of the TPM timer.

Regarding your questions
Many apologies for the delay! I hope this information could help you.
All the best,
Diego.
Vishay still makes IrDA modules:

Using a regular IR LED will not have the recommended eye safety technology that the modules have.
The KSDK is no longer recommended in favor of MCUXpresso.
It may have a better example.
I've not used the KL03 so, alas, can't speak the rest of your questions.
