Hi team ,      I would like to share an experiment that about the Fast IO - zero wait state access of KL series . Detail please refer to attached file . Best regards, David

Many customers reported that their ADC function works on FRDM-KL27Z board but meet issue on their own board. We need to pay attention to the difference between the ADC reference voltages of different packages (on board MKL27Z64VLH4 is 64LQFP package). This tip introduce the ADC Reference Options on KL17/KL27 32/36pin package Part number involved: 32-pins 36-pins MKL17Z32VFM4 MKL17Z32VDA4 MKL17Z64VFM4 MKL17Z64VDA4 MKL27Z32VFM4 MKL27Z32VDA4 MKL27Z64VFM4 MKL27Z64VDA4 PTE30/VREF_OUT- connected as the primary reference option on 36-pin and below packages VDDA/VSSA - connected as the VALT reference option   ADCx_SC2[REFSEL] selects the voltage reference source used for conversions.   About the primary reference option: When on-chip 1.2V VREF is enabled, PTE30 pin must be used as VREF_OUT and has to be configured as an analog input, such as ADC0_SE23 (PORTE_PCR30[MUX] = 000). Notice: this pin needs to connect a capacitor to ground.   PTE30 can also be used as an external reference voltage input as long as PTE30 is configured as analog input and VREF module is disabled. It means you can connect external reference voltage to PTE30 pin and use it as ADC reference voltage. (For example 3.3V) KL17P64M48SF2RM     Kinetis KL17: 48MHz Cortex-M0+ 32-64KB Flash (32-64pin) (REV 4.1) KL27P64M48SF2RM     Kinetis KL27: 48MHz Cortex-M0+ 32-64KB Flash (32-64pin) (REV 4.1)

This document explains a potential issue where interrupts appear to be disabled after enterring debug mode. This is as a result of the NMI being active when debug is enabled.

Hi All, Embedded systems industry are tending to optimized their products to offers a better performance in power management, aiming for longer battery life, using low-power modes in the application without reducing functionality. With this in mind, it arises a requirement in these compact devices, power supply monitor. This document will include a brief description of some features available in different power modes of the Kinetis family and it will focus on how we can implement these features, using KSDK 2.0, to monitor power supply voltage and detect when this voltage has fallen at determined value. This document is based MCU K21 but the same principles can be applied to any Kinetis K and L family. It will use KDS 3.2 as IDE and TWR-K21F120M evaluation board as target.   Hope you can find it useful Best Regards Jorge Alcala

The Kinetis L Series MCUs are Energy-Efficient Product Solutions by Freescale. For more information visit Freescale.com\Lseries

New 32-bit MCUs designed to transform consumer and industrial applications currently using legacy 8- and 16-bit architectures SAN ANTONIO, Jun 19, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Freescale Semiconductor FSL +0.80% is now offering alpha samples of its Kinetis L series, the industry's first microcontrollers (MCUs) built on the  ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-M0+ processor. Kinetis L series devices are on display this week at the Freescale        Technology Forum (FTF) Americas and were demonstrated during the event's opening keynote address. As machine-to-machine communication expands and network connectivity  becomes ubiquitous, many of today's standalone, entry-level applications will require more intelligence and functionality. With the Kinetis  L series , Freescale provides the ideal opportunity for users of legacy 8- and 16-bit architectures to migrate to 32-bit platforms and bring additional intelligence to everyday devices without increasing power  consumption and cost or sacrificing space. Applications, such as small  appliances, gaming accessories, portable medical systems, audio systems, smart meters, lighting and power control, can now leverage 32-bit capabilities and the scalability needed to expand future product lines -- all at 8- and 16-bit price and power consumption levels. "In our view, 8- and 16-bit development has reached the end of the road. Those architectures simply can't keep up as the Internet of Things gains traction," said Geoff Lees, vice president and general manager of Freescale's Industrial & Multi-Market MCU business. "Kinetis L series MCUs are ideal for the new wave of connected applications, combining the required energy efficiency, low price, development ease and small  footprint with the enhanced performance, peripherals, enablement and scalability of the Kinetis 32-bit portfolio." Extreme energy efficiency The ARM Cortex-M0+ processor consumes approximately one-third of the energy of any 8- or 16-bit processor available today, while delivering  between two to 40 times more performance. The Kinetis L series supplements the energy efficiency of the core with the latest in  low-power MCU platform design, operating modes and energy-saving peripherals. The result is an MCU that consumes just 50 uA/MHz* in very-low-power run (VLPR) mode and can rapidly wake from a reduced power state, process data and return to sleep, extending application battery life. These advantages are demonstrated in the FTF demo, which compares the energy-efficiency characteristics of the Kinetis L series against solutions from Freescale competitors in a CoreMark benchmark analysis.        The Kinetis L series is also part of the Freescale Energy-Efficient Solutions program. Kinetis L series energy-saving peripherals do more with less power by maintaining functionality even when the MCU is in deep sleep modes. In traditional MCUs, the main clock and processor core must be activated to perform even trivial tasks such as sending or receiving data, capturing or generating waveforms or sampling analog signals. Kinetis L series peripherals are able to perform these functions without involving the core or main system, drastically reducing power consumption and improving battery life. Built using Freescale's innovative, award-winning flash memory technology, the Kinetis L series offers the industry's lowest-power flash memory implementation. This improves upon the conventional silicon-based charge storage approach by creating nano-scale silicon islands to store charge instead of using continuous film, improving the flash memory's immunity to typical sources of data loss. "The Internet of Things needs very low-cost, low-power processors that        can deliver good performance," said Tom R. Halfhill, a senior analyst        with The Linley Group and senior editor of Microprocessor Report. "As  the first 32-bit microcontrollers to use ARM's Cortex-M0+ processor core, Freescale's Kinetis L-series MCUs will bring the energy efficiency and prices typically associated with 8- and 16-bit MCUs to a broad range of consumer and industrial applications." Development simplicity The Kinetis L series addresses the ease-of-use requirement critical for entry-level developers through innovations including: -- The Freescale Freedom development platform, a small, low-power, cost-efficient evaluation and development system for quick application prototyping and demonstration. It combines an industry-standard form factor with a rich set of third-party expansion board options. An integrated USB debug interface offers an easy-to-use mass-storage device mode flash programmer, a virtual serial port and classic programming and run-control capabilities. -- Processor Expert software, a GUI-based, device-aware software generation tool that eliminates the need to write peripheral start-up code or device drivers. Helps developers easily migrate from 8- and 16-bit to 32-bit solutions by simplifying the software architecture and  dramatically reducing application development time. --  The Kinetis MCU Solution Advisor, a web-based application with an interactive MCU product selector that helps identify the best-suited MCU by applying dynamic filters based on operating characteristics, packaging options, memory configuration and peripheral hardware library. Integration and scalability Each Kinetis L series family includes scalable flash memory options, pin-counts and analog, communication, timing and control peripherals, providing easy migration paths for end product line expansion. Features common to the Kinetis L series families include: --         48 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core --         High-speed 12/16-bit analog-to-digital converters --         12-bit digital-to-analog converters --         High-speed analog comparators --         Low-power touch sensing with wake-up on touch from reduced power states --         Powerful timers for a broad range of applications including motor control The first three Kinetis L series families: --         Kinetis L0 family -- the entry point into the Kinetis L series. Includes eight to 32 KB of flash memory and ultra-small 4mm x 4mm QFN packages. Pin-compatible with the Freescale 8-bit S08P family. Software- and tool-compatible with all other Kinetis L series families. --         Kinetis L1 family -- with 32 to 256 KB of flash memory and  additional communications and analog peripheral options. Compatible with the Kinetis K10 family. --         Kinetis L2 family -- adds USB 2.0 full-speed host/device/OTG. Compatible with the Kinetis K20 family. The Kinetis L series is pin- and software-compatible with the Kinetis  K series (built on the ARM Cortex-M4 processor), providing a migration path to DSP performance and advanced feature integration. Availability and pricing Kinetis L series alpha samples are available now, with broad market sample and tool availability planned for Q3. Pricing starts at a suggested resale price of 49 cents (USD) in 10,000-unit quantities. The Freescale Freedom development platform is planned for Q3 availability at  a suggested resale price of $12.95 (USD).

Recently, some customers have provided us with feedback stating they have been experiencing difficulties when connecting  Kinetis L series  microcontrollers using Multilink Universal probes, after checking the connection and software settings no obvious errors could be found. This recurrent problem has been confirmed by several customers, the  problem is caused by a long connection line. My suggestion is to keep connection line length to 10cm or less; otherwise, the IDE may not be able to establish the connection through the Multilink Universal.

As general introduction on thread https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-328302 , I did a smart LED application with GoKit and FRDM-KL02. In this design, FRDM-KL02 will communicate with GoKit by WIFI, and control LED flash. Code Structure Code Basic Introduction In this project structure, you need to do following items on code. ü Add your functions, such as UART, LED, motor driver code. ü Add function running functions in protocol.c ü Add functions order in main loop. You can find my main.c and protocol.c as attachment. In this document, I would like to detail introduce function MessageHandle()， void MessageHandle(void) {                 pro_headPart    tmp_headPart; //Common command package                 memset(&tmp_headPart, 0, sizeof(pro_headPart));                 if(get_one_package)                 {                                                                              get_one_package = 0;                                 memcpy(&tmp_headPart, uart_buf, sizeof(pro_headPart));                                                                 //CRC error, send back error command                                 if(CheckSum(uart_buf, uart_Count) != uart_buf[uart_Count-1])                                 {                                                 SendErrorCmd(ERROR_CHECKSUM, tmp_headPart.sn);                                                 return ;                                 }                                 So, you can see that only get_one_package=1, we can receive frame completely.                                 switch(tmp_headPart.cmd)                                 {                                                              case       CMD_GET_MCU_INFO:                                                                 CmdGetMcuInfo(tmp_headPart.sn);                                                                                                                                     break;                                                                   case CMD_SEND_HEARTBEAT:                                                                 SendCommonCmd(CMD_SEND_HEARTBEAT_ACK, tmp_headPart.sn);                                                                                 break;                                                 case CMD_REBOOT_MCU:                                                                 SendCommonCmd(CMD_REBOOT_MCU_ACK, tmp_headPart.sn);                                                 case       CMD_SEND_MCU_P0:                                                                 CmdSendMcuP0(uart_buf);                                                                 break;                                                 case       CMD_REPORT_MODULE_STATUS:                                                                 CmdReportModuleStatus(uart_buf);                                                                 break;                                                 default:                                                                 SendErrorCmd(ERROR_CMD, tmp_headPart.sn);                                                                 break;                                 }                              } } After that, you can do operations mentioned in thread https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-328302. You can see smart LED device and been found.
