  • 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:

165973_165973.pngpastedImage_5.png

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.

I tried to use the web version of the tool, but it said "MCU is not supported." (Using KL26Z) The release notes available from the help menu does list the KL26Z series. Is it wrong? Where is the list of supported processors?

A list of supported processors would be good as well. Does not seem to support the KL16. Looks great though.

Additional devices will be populated on the server over the coming weeks. I see if I can get a list/roadmap of them and put it up here for reference.

Hi David,

KL16 and KL26 were part of the Kinetis SDK release 2 (see https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-329783). The data for the clocks tool for the SDK release 2 and 3 is expected to be available on the server after Oct. 26.

No dates for MKE1x family?

There is some information about the configuration of peripherals that is expected to be implement in Kinetis Expert System Configuration?

 

I have not seen the KE1x listed yet, digging on it...

HI Erich,

How do you activate the IRC48M clock source for the  K64 ?

It is grey out.

Regards,

hy

Erich,

please disregard my last comment.

I figured out how to use the tool now.

This is excellent clock and pin tool.

hy

Is there any plan for KL28Z7?

I starts wondered whether I should use different chip or not.

Regards,

K

The list of supported devices can be found here for all the tools:

https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-333073 

Using Clock Tool for MK26FN2M0VLQ18.  Can't set it above 120MHz.  The core is able to go to 180MHz.

Using PEE mode with 16MHz external crystal.

Any suggestions?

Brad

Please, set the HSRUN power mode (Run mode settings). The RUN power mode does not support 180MHz core clock frequency.

Best Regards,

Marek Neuzil
