Life after import on K64F/mbed

[neilporven]

I am using the FRDM K64F development board.

I was finally able to import a project created on mbed.  I was able to compile it, but

when I tried to run it, its missing something?

It looks like I have to prepare more things before I just run with it, can someone explain

what are the steps I need to take after importing from mbed?

Thank you,

Neil Porven

hi Neil Porven

From my understanding, you have problem with board connecting, right?

what SW do you use? KDS or Codewarrior?

I also need to check your current driver install, please:

with board connecting, please upload the screenshot of "device manager" widow. please showcase the driver under "Jungo" and "Ports(COM & LPT)"

thanks!

Best Regards，

Hi ZhangJennie,

I don't believe I am having a board connection issue.  I am using KDS and I successfully imported my project file from mbed.  The project compiles successfully in KDS, but when I go to run it, KDS complains.  I was expecting this complaint from the KDS because, I thought that just by importing a project from mbed, it would take care of setting up the KDS to be able to run/debug with it.  I know "Too Easy and Wishful Thinking"!

If you start a project in KDS and use the New project KDS design studio option, you can select the FRDM64KF board into the project and I don't know how it happens, but the KDS knows all the settings it needs to setup the component and load processor expert/w the correct processor.

The reason I mention the above, is that, since I am importing a project from a different IDE, then I imagine that I would have to go thru the work of selecting the FRDM64KF development board, so that KDS knows what I am using, so that it knows what to do with the imported project.

Maybe my logic is wrong, but if what I believe is happening, is what needs to happen, then how is that done, is my question?

The truth of the matter is that, maybe Freescale or mbed should have a 10 minute video explaining how to go from mbed to KDS as an import and the steps it takes to get you started.

Hello Neil:

I think you figured it out already. But just for reference for future readers of this thread, you have to set the debug configurations. When importing a project from MBED it does not contain the debug configurations already. For details on this there is a document in this community:

GDB Debugging with Kinetis Design Studio

The connection used depends on the actual firmware of your Freedom Board: Segger J-Link, P&E OpenSDA or OpenOCD. This is why colleague Jennie asked you to check the Device Manager.
