FRDM-K64F, Project Generator and Serial Port

[ChristianSchult]

Hello, guys

I got yesterday a FRDM-K64F board, and followed the getting started videos from the board page. Everything went fine, including building the "Hello World" example, and reading the string usign a serial terminal. When I tried the Project Generator (the last step), I changend the main code as the video told to do, and built the code. The led blinked according to the code, but I could not get the string in the serial port. I tried to create another project from Project Generator, and could not find how to make the serial port to work.

What am I doing wrong? Would it be possible for someone to help me?

Thanx in advance!

Hello Christian,

You need to compile MQX before to use it.

Import the projects in the paths:

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\rtos\mqx\mqx\build\kds\mqx_frdmk64f

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\rtos\mqx\mqx_stdlib\build\kds\mqx_stdlib_frdmk64f

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\lib\ksdk_mqx_lib\kds\K64F12

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\lib\ksdk_platform_lib\kds\K64F12

Build them and then build the lwip_httpserver_demo_mqx_frdmk64f project again.

Regards,

Earl.

Hello Christian,

I just followed the steps described in that page and my application runs OK. Maybe you unplugged and plugged your board again with the terminal application opened. Please close your terminal, unplug your board, plug your board again, open your terminal application and then run your project.

Does it work?

Best regards,

Earl.

Hi Christian

When starting with the FRDM-K64F don't forget to check out the uTasker K64 project - µTasker Kinetis FRDM-K64F support

This allows you to simuate the processor and your board in real-time, as well as simpler debugging and accelerated development.

Completely free for non-commercial work, but fully supported here or at its own forum.

Mark
