Hi,
Getting into ARMs, (using PICs for a decade) and the Kinetis K02 looks like a great place to start. But a bit unsure what I need to get started. I downloaded Kinetis Design Studio, and it looks like I need an SDK... which the SDK downloads do not seem to have for the KE02. The FRDM-KE02Z40M board details page has some quick-start links to OpenSDA (not sure what that is yet), and to various IDEs but not Kinetis Design Studio.
Before I go down a spiral of installing tons of stuff just to figure out what is what, and then sift out what I don't need, is there any page or doc that explains all these terms/tools/software in a nutshell so I can quickly pick a path to get started with?
Thanks.
Hi Neil,
KSDK for KE family is not officially released yet. but it should be available in next release.
please keep track on our website for it
Software Development Kit for Kinetis MCUs|NXP
for the moment my recommendation is to use KDS+processor expert for KE family.
does this make sense?
Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang

Thanks Jennie. But what is processor expert?
What I'm looking for is some document or video that explains this, rather than me stumbling upon terms and having to ask for each one which if I need it, etc.
Thanks.
Hello Neil,
I find a document and it may be helpful to you
Getting Started with Kinetis KDS IDE.pptx
lab2 of this ppt is regarding KDS Project Design with Processor Expert.
we can also find processor expert document under KDS install folder:
C:\Freescale\KDS_v3\eclipse\ProcessorExpert\Help
here, Getting_Started_with_Processor_Expert.pdf is very good for beginner.
can this help you?
Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang
