is need external programmer

[parthibankandas]

hi,

  i am entirely new to freescale semiconductor and i like to develop my knowledge in freescale. For that i choose to buy 

MEMS Sensors Evaluation Kit with Freescale FRDM-KL25Z Freedom Platform kit. is this kit need any external programmer?, can i do programming without external programmer?

Hi Parthiban kandasamy,

     If you use FRDM-KL25Z, you don't need use other programmer, because the boad has the sophisticated OpenSDA Debug interface.

    About detail, you can refer to the FRDM-KL25Z User's manual, the link is :

I wish it helps you!

Best regards!

Hi Parthiban kandasamy,

    Yes, you are right. If you put the MSD-FRDM-KL25Z_Pemicro_v105.SDA into bootloader, you can send the xxx.srec to the bootloader, then the boader will run the according program.

and if you need debug, you should choose DEBUG-APP_Pemicro_v102.SDA into bootloader,then you can debug through the IDE(eg.CodeWarrior V10.x,IAR ARM Workbench or Keil MDK-ARM ).

You still can find detail information from openSDA user's guide ,the link is :

I wish it helps you!

Best regards!
