Overview


The Freedom KL25Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis® L Series KL1x (KL14/15) and KL2x (KL24/25) MCUs built on ARM® Cortex®-M0+ processor.

The FRDM-KL25Z features include easy access to MCU I/O, battery-ready, low-power operation, a standard-based form factor with expansion board options and a built-in debug interface for flash programming and run-control.

Hardware


  • MKL25Z128VLK4 MCU @ 48 MHz, 128 KB flash, 16 KB SRAM, USB OTG (FS), 80LQFP
  • On board capacitive touch "slider", MMA8451Q accelerometer, and tri-color LED
  • OpenSDA debug interface

Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

Connections and IOs

The KL25Z SoC has five pairs of pinmux/gpio controllers, and all are currently enabled (PORTA/GPIOA, PORTB/GPIOB, PORTC/GPIOC, PORTD/GPIOD, and PORTE/GPIOE) for the FRDM-KL25Z board.

System Clock

The KL25Z SoC is configured to use the 8 MHz external oscillator on the board with the on-chip FLL to generate a 48 MHz system clock.

Serial Port

The KL25Z UART0 is used for the console.

USB

The KL25Z SoC has a USB OTG (USBOTG) controller that supports both device and host functions through its mini USB connector (USB KL25Z). Only USB device function is supported in Zephyr at the moment.

Programming and Debugging


.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details).

Configuring a Debug Probe

A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is configured by default to use the :ref:opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe.

Early versions of this board have an outdated version of the OpenSDA bootloader and require an update. Please see the DAPLink Bootloader Update_ page for instructions to update from the CMSIS-DAP bootloader to the DAPLink bootloader.

Install the :ref:`linkserver-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your
search path.  LinkServer works with the CMSIS-DAP debug firmware. Please follow the
instructions on :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe` and select the latest revision
of the firmware image.

    Linkserver is the default for this board, ``west flash`` and ``west debug`` will
    call the linkserver runner.

.. code-block:: console

   west flash
   west debug

Install the :ref:jlink-debug-host-tools and make sure they are in your search path.

Follow the instructions in :ref:opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe to program the OpenSDA J-Link FRDM-KL25Z Firmware_.

Add the arguments -DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=jlink and -DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=jlink when you invoke west build to override the default runner from pyOCD to J-Link:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: frdm_kl25z :gen-args: -DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=jlink -DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=jlink :goals: build

Note:

The runners supported by NXP are LinkServer and JLink. pyOCD is another potential option, but NXP does not test or support the pyOCD runner.

Configuring a Console

Regardless of your choice in debug probe, we will use the OpenSDA microcontroller as a usb-to-serial adapter for the serial console.

Connect a USB cable from your PC to J7.

Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty, etc.):

  • Speed: 115200
  • Data: 8 bits
  • Parity: None
  • Stop bits: 1

Flashing

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: frdm_kl25z :goals: flash

Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the SW1 button), and you should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-rc1 ***** Hello World! frdm_kl25z

Debugging

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: frdm_kl25z :goals: debug

Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-rc1 ***** Hello World! frdm_kl25z
