Can I use MKV30F MCU with the ACIM Control Reference Solution (MCRSP ACIM v1.2.0)?

[Amirmhz]

Hello,

I’m working on a 3-phase AC induction motor project using the NXP ACIM Control Reference Solution Package (MCRSP ACIM v1.2.0) provided here:

https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/development-boards-and-designs/kv-series-3-phase-ac-inducti...

According to the user guide, the supported MCUs are KV31F, KV46F, KV58F, and KE18F on the High-Voltage Platform (HVP).

I would like to know whether the MKV30F series (e.g., MKV30F128VLH10) can be used with the same software package. Since KV30 is also a Kinetis V family device with similar motor-control peripherals, I’m wondering if:

1- The existing ACIM reference software can run on MKV30F? Or with minor modifications?

2- If not directly supported, what specific changes are required (e.g., peripheral configuration, SDK version, MCAT compatibility)?

3- Has NXP or the community ever provided an example or porting guide for MKV30F with this reference solution?

I’m currently reviewing the provided ACIMCRSPUG and ACIMCRSPRN documents, and I’d appreciate any guidance on whether MKV30F can be integrated into this motor-control framework. My goal is lower BOM cost, so any alternative which can be used for FOC with example software with lower price will also lead to this goal.

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hello @Amirmhz ,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, it should be possible to use the MKV30F with the ACIM reference software. Compared to KV31, the motor control peripherals on KV30 are quite similar, so from a hardware capability standpoint, it’s not a big leap.
The reason KV31 is listed as supported on the HVP platform is likely because the high-voltage daughter card in the HVP-KV3x kit is specifically designed for KV31. That said, the code for KV31 might be able to run on KV30 with little to no modification.
If any changes are needed, they’d mostly be related to the MCU-specific settings, like updating the linker file to match the KV30’s flash and RAM size, and adjusting any download/debug configurations accordingly. I’d recommend replacing the linker and startup files with ones tailored for KV30.
As for peripheral drivers, I can’t guarantee full compatibility, but in many cases, the KV31 drivers might work fine on KV30. It’s something that would need to be tested to confirm.

Hope it helps.
