So far the composite msd_cdc demo from ksdk 1.3 just supports ram disk application, to have the SD card support just as the dev_msd demo, you have to go through the following steps: Add platform/composite/src/sdcard/fsl_sdhc_card.c and platform\drivers\src\sdhc\fsl_sdhc_irq.c to the project. Add project including path: platform\composite\inc and platform\drivers\inc. Change usb\example\device\composite\msd_cdc\disk.c as attached file      Change usb\example\device\composite\msd_cdc\disk.h as attached file      Change usb\example\device\composite\msd_cdc\hardware_init.c as attached file. Compile the demo and let it go, the PC would recognize the MSD and CDC device,  but might need you install the CDC driver, use the one from the folder of "C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.3.0\examples\twrk60d100m\demo_apps\usb\device\cdc\virtual_com\inf". With SD card inserted , you may see the removable disk, and format the disk just like below: Copy a ~50M file to this disk eject the disk after done, and then pull and plug the device again, you may verify the copied file with fc.exe command This solution has been tested on TWR-K60D100M with TWR-SER, both bm and mqx examples are verified ok, please kindly refer to the attached files for more details.

Introducing Kinetis SDK v2 Kinetis SDK v2 is available on www.nxp.com/ksdk web page. Click on Build your SDK now to customize the KSDK based on your selection of device or evaluation hardware, RTOS, build system and more.   (Did you see the announcement of MCUXpresso IDE, SDK and Config Tools?  Kinetis SDKv2 is being renamed to MCUXpresso SDK and expanding to cover LPC devices as well.  Check out the MCUXpresso SDK webpage and Community for more information.)   What's New in Kinetis SDK v2? As was true for KSDK v1, v2 is a collection of comprehensive software enablement for NXP Kinetis Microcontrollers. It includes system startup, peripheral drivers, USB and connectivity stacks, middleware, and real-time operating system (RTOS) kernels. The Kinetis SDK also includes getting started and API documentation (online, PDF) along with usage examples and demo applications. However, v2 features several new components and improvements upon v1.   Note: The Kinetis SDK v2.0 Transition Guide provides more details about the differences and things to consider when moving from KSDK v1 to v2.   Updated Peripheral Drivers KSDK v2 eliminates the separate HAL and Peripheral Driver, replacing these two layers with a single driver for each peripheral. The single driver provides both the low-level functionality of the HAL and the non-blocking interrupt-based functionality of the Peripheral Driver. Peripheral drivers in KSDK v2 also eliminate external software dependencies on an OSA, Power Manager, and Clock Manager.  This makes the drivers easier to configure and more suitable for usage outside of the KSDK environment.   Simplified Folder Structure The folder structure of KSDK v2 has been simplified. The image below shows the folder structure for a KSDK v2 build for FRDM-K64F. The boards folder has been elevated to the top level and contains folders for all supported evaluation hardware. Specific board folders contain demo application, driver examples, middleware examples, and RTOS examples—all designed and tested to run on that specific board. The CMSIS folder contains the ARM® CMSIS vendor-independent hardware abstraction layers for Cortex®-M devices including CMSIS-CORE include files and CMSIS-DSP source and libraries.   The devices folder has also been elevated to the top level.  This folder contains sub-folders for each supported Kinetis MCU device.  KSDK v2 does not have a separate platform library.  All peripheral drivers can be found in the drivers folder contained within each device. Here you’ll find all the drivers for the given device.  This greatly simplifies include path requirements and makes it easy to determine which drivers apply to which devices.   You’ll also find middleware, and rtos folders at the top level that contain subfolders with source code for all middleware components and RTOS kernels supported.   RTOS Support One of the most notable changes in KSDK v2 is the focus on FreeRTOS.  All RTOS examples now use the FreeRTOS kernel.  Micrium μC/OS-II and μC/OS-III kernels are also pre-integrated into the KSDK (under an evaluation license).  RTOS peripheral driver wrappers for FreeRTOS and uC/OS-II & III are also provided that leverage native RTOS services (with no OSA).  These are provided for use as-is or as examples for how to integrate KSDK drivers and middleware with other Operating Systems.   The MQX kernel, stacks and middleware have been removed from the Kinetis SDK.  However, MQX Software is still a supported software suite from NXP that is available in the MQX RTOS and MQX for KSDK v1.3 products. New ports of MQX following the “Classic” architecture (i.e. similar style to MQX v4.x) will soon be available for newer Kinetis devices.  From here forward, the Kinetis SDK will focus on open-source RTOS solutions.   Middleware KSDK v2 features a few new and updated middleware packages. The USB stack is new and now offered under an open source, permissive license. lwIP and FatFS are retained as open source solutions or TCP/IP communications and filesystem support, respectively. There are also two optional cryptography packages, available separately, that have been pre-integrated and tested with the Kinetis SDK: wolfSSL and mbedTLS.   Supported Devices A complete list of support devices has been published in the new MCUXpresso Community.     Toolchain Support KSDK v2 supports the latest versions of: Kinetis Design Studio IAR Embedded Workbench Keil MDK Atollic TrueSTUDIO GNU GCC command line usin CMake   Project Generators Kinetis Design Studio (KDS) and Kinetis SDK v2 An update is available for KDS v3.x that adds a Kinetis SDK v2.x New Project wizard.  See this KDS Community post for details on installing the update.   Stand-alone KSDK Project Generator To quickly create new Kinetis SDK projects, or to clone existing projects, use the Kinetis SDK Project Generator   Configuration Tools Unlike KSDK v1, v2 does not have Processor Expert support available.  A new suite of configuration tools is being created that will build on KSDK v2 and will be rolled out throughout 2016.

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().

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
