This document includes two chapters , chapter 1 is about how to use printf() to print string in KSDK1.3 project , the usage in project without MQX has been introduced on another document, you can find it here : https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-104349 , so in this DOC I only introduce how to use the printf() in KSDK MQX- Lite and KSDK MQX-Standard project .   Chapter 2 introduces how to check which UART port is used when use printf() to print string on the FRDM board and TOWER board .   In sum, only the project of “MQX standard” use it own driver for printf(), so we need delete the driver “fsl_debug_console”. In other SDK+PE projects , they all use the driver of “fsl_debug_console” for printf().

Hello dear community:   The attached document is an introductory guide to the Clock configuration system and Power manager system in KSDK v1.3 and its configuration using Processor Expert.   Some topics covered:   - KSDK Clock Manager system- Clock manager notification framework - Clock switch callbacks - KSDK Power Manager system - Power manager notification framework - Power mode switch callbacks - Creating and managing clock/power configurations with Processor Expert. - Managing custom clock/power callbacks with Processor Expert.   There is also an example project attached created for the FRDM-KL27Z board, but it can be taken as reference to use a different evaluation board or custom board.

This example project shows how to use CMSIS DSP functions to implement a digital filter. The project is based on Kinetis KV31F512.   It first generates a mixed signal which is composed by two sine waves.  Then it uses PDB to trigger DAC every 200 microsecond and output the signal through DAC, so that the mixed signal can be displaying on oscilloscope.   With QEDesign tool, a lowpass filter is designed, the filter coefficients are used directly to initialize the FIR function supplied by CMSIS DSP library. This example calls the FIR functions in CMSIS DSP lib, and the filtered signal is output though DAC module.

Problem: Unknown error in Task error code column (in Task List view from MQX TAD) is displayed when debugging MQX project in IAR with KSDK.   Cause: This error means that TAD cannot find mqx.tad file with messages for error codes. In this case code 0x0 means MQX_OK, so it might lead user to believe there is some error with task but it is not. IAR TAD was made before first KSDK release, so there is no way for IAR TAD to find mqx.tad file because it isn’t part of KSDK. It works only when classic MQX is also installed on computer.   IAR TAD finds mqx.tad file this way (written as example for MQX 4.2): It takes _mqx_version_number defined as hex number 0x04020000 in “mqx\source\kernel\mqx.c” Looks into windows registry key of specified MQX version “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Freescale\FreeScale MQX\4.2” Takes its path variable "PATH"="C:\\Freescale\\Freescale_MQX_4_2" Tries to find mqx.tad file in directory specified in PATH or in its child folder "\tools\tad\" (e.g. C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_2\tools\tad\mqx.tad)   Solution: Use of fake registry key, which will point to classic MQX installation or some blank directory with only mqx.tad file (e.g. C:\fake_mqx\mqx.tad or better C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\tools\tad\mqx.tad). This registry key must use MQX version specified in used KSDK (for KSDK 1.2 and 1.3 it is 0x05000200, for 1.1 0x05000001 and for 1.0 0x04010000). Registry key might look like this: Then TAD translates error codes to messages successfully and path to mqx.tad file can be checked in Check for errors view under Show MQX TAD Diagnostics. Attached is example registry key with \tad\mqx.tad structure for placing into KSDK\tools directory.

Hi folks,   I would like to share my experience using lwIP with KSDK1.2, I hope this will be useful for people who is getting started with this TCP/IP stack.   I must admit that I really dislike working over an example application (please do not misunderstand my message, these examples are really nice but just as examples, not to develop new applications over them), the problem is that these project are not stand alone and if they are moved from their original locations it becomes a mess. This is why I always create a standalone projects. For instance I will describe how to run ‘lwip_tcpecho_demo’ and after this, how to reproduce this example as a standalone project.   Running ‘lwip_tcpecho_demo’ Creating a new project with lwIP support using FreeRTOS       I hope you find it useful.   Regards, Carlos

Because I receive feedback from customers, that it is sometimes complicated to execute this demo, I created short tutorial how to set it and execute it in KDS 3.0.0.   1. Physical connection In case of TWR-K64F, is needed TWR-SER and correctly set jumpers. and for TWR-K64F is needed to set jumper J6 to pins 1 and 2.   Be sure, that the TWR-SER and TWR-K64F is correctly connected (by white line) 2. Network configuration For changing IP address, please go to Network and Sharing Center, choose Change adapter settings Right click on Properties and change the IP address (TCP/IPv4) to 192.168.2.100   3.  Downloading the demo to TWR-K64F Go to KDS, File - Import and browse the demo, which is located at C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\examples\twrk64f120m\demo_apps\web_hvac\web_hvac_mqx\kds Import all libraries and the demo project and see imported sets in Project Explorer Debug the libraries first and then the project. Be sure, what debugger is used on the board and set the debugger. And now go to Resume!   4. Test the connection Go to cmd and ping to 192.168.2.102 (address of HVAC Server)   5. HVAC Web Server.Go to browser and type the address 192.168.2.102, you will see page for HVAC Web Server. Go to HVAC Demo - HVAC Status and now you can observe the temperatures by pressing button. There are set combinations which means see below. LED1: Simulate the Fan’s state LED2: System in the Heat mode LED3: System in the Cool mode LED4: Simulate the heart beat, increase real temperature (i.e., by hair dryer) to see the LED4 go faster and decrease temperature to see it slow down. So, if is needed increased temperature, push the first button (SW1) and Fan and Heat mode run. LED1 and LED2 will be light on and the temperature will increase.   Enjoy! Iva

The one way how to set TAD shell is to use current example shell for e.g. FRDM-K64F, modified it and use it.   1. Open demo Shell (located at C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\middleware\tcpip\rtcs\examples\shell\build\kds\shell_frdmk64f) in KDS, as .wsd file 2. Open demo_cmd.c (located at /shell_frdmk64f/Source/demo_cmd.c) and add the line for shell tad, { "echosrv",   Shell_echosrv},     { "echo",      Shell_echo},     { "email",     Shell_smtp },     { "gate",      Shell_gate },     { "gethbn",    Shell_get_host_by_name },     { "getname",   Shell_getname },     { "getrt",     Shell_getroute },     { "ipconfig",  Shell_ipconfig },     { "llmnr",  Shell_llmnrsrv }, { "tad",  Shell_tad },   3. Open tad.c (located at /mqx_frdmk64f/MQX_Generic/tad/tad.c) and remove at the first line:         #if MQX_USE_IO_OLD and last line        #endif // MQX_USE_IO_OLD and included fio library       #include <fio.h>    4. Build libraries first, then build demo shell_frdmk64 5. Set the Tera Term and after typing tad in Tera Term, you will see the output:   Enjoy!   Iva
