A new version of the Kinetis Expert Configuration Tools has been released and is available both online (Welcome to Kinetis Expert | Kinetis Expert ) or for download as desktop tool (Software Development Kit for Kinetis MCUs|NXP ).
The set of the tools has a new member: the Clocks Tool:
- Simple UI for clock parameter viewing and modification
- Graphical view for easy navigation and visualization of settings and frequencies
- Generate configuration code using KSDK v2
- Inspect and modify clock configuration from clock input source up to the core/peripherals
- Validate clock settings and calculate the resulting output clock frequencies
- Determines suitable clock settings for given output requirements
- Integrated with the Pins Tool
Main features of Pins Tool and Clocks Tool:
- Available as Web and Desktop application
- Kinetis SDK v2 support
- Multicore support
- Localized for English and Simplified Chinese
- Mostly Connected: On-Demand device data download
- Integrates with any compiler and IDE
- Generation of documented C code which is C++ aware
What's New
- Added Clocks Tool
- Added Support for boards, kits and templates
- Added Labels and Identifier support
- Added Log and Problems View
- Export downloaded data to copy or share device information data
- Bug fixes and improved documentation
The release notes of the desktop application are attached to this article.
Clocks Tool
The new member of the suite of configuration tools is the Clocks Tool. Use the Tools menu to select and switch between the tools:
The Clocks Tool provides graphical views for configuration and navigation in the clocks of the hardware:
Templates, Kits, Boards and Processors
When creating a new configuration, it offers Templates, Kits, Boards and Processors.
Custom configurations can be stored as templates and then used for new configurations.
Board Specific Functions
With the provided board and kit configurations, there are now pre-configured initialization functions for major blocks on the board:
Labels and Identifiers
In the Pins Tool there are two new columns: Label and Identifier:
The Label is a user name/string to identify or describe the pin. The Identifier is a user C/C++ identifier which is added to the generated source code to be used by the application.
Export Data
To simplify downloading the device specific data for the desktop tool, the 'Export' function can be used to download and export the data. The data can be copied that way to another machine or all data for a set of devices can be loaded.
The device support for the clocks tool is staged, so initially not all SDK V2 devices are included. As of Oct 14, the the following Kinetis SDK V2 R1 devices are supported by the Clocks Tool:
