Actually I have a tower system based on TWR-K60N512 (Kinetis) processor board. I can program the flash memory of microcontroller through IAR Electronic Workbench, choosing PE Micro/OSJTAG programmer.
I couldn't find a stand-alone software (external from IAR IDE) that can only erase/program/verify the microcontroller flash.
I found and downloaded/installed USBDM 4.9.3, but the ARM Programmer utility can't find a USBDM programmer. Should I upgrade the firmware from OSBDM to USBDM? How to do that?
Another possibility is to use the command line utilities from CodeSourcery Lite, but I don't know if a flash programmer utility is present.
Dear Pozz,
USBDM and OSBDM are different utilities that do similar things,
You can "crossgrade" from OSBDM to USBDM but it requires a HCS08 programmer to reprogram the Kinteis board. It would also not be supported by Freescale so might invalidate any warranty.
USBDM has been tested by me on a K60 board and works OK. Note however that this is with Codewarrior and the provided USBDM programmer - There is no driver for IAR.

After flashing USBDM firmware, could I reinstall OSBDM firmware later?

Does the stand-alone programmer work?

Yes - you can download OSBDM image from the P&E web site.
You would need a HCS08 programmer to do so (but you need that anyway).

Yes.
