Evaluation and prototyping kit for Kinetis MCUs

This module-based kit enables the rapid evaluation of and prototyping with the Kinetis microcontroller range in application areas such as industrial control, medical and consumer electronics.

It includes hardware boards, debug probe, software tools and code examples.

As part of the Tower System, this evaluation kit comes with the Kinetis K60 MCU module with onboard K60N512 32-bit microcontroller and a serial peripheral module with connectors for Ethernet, USB, CAN and other connectivity.

In addition, the Kinetis K60 MCU module includes capacitive-touch pads, an SD card slot, a three-axis accelerometer, buttons and a potentiometer.

An additional prototyping module provides a large area where a range of applications can be evaluated.

Target connection is provided by the IAR J-Link Lite for Cortex-M debug probe that is included in the kit.

It allows SWO debugging including SWO trace that can be used for the execution time analysis and visualisation of variables and interrupts in the debugger.

IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart and Evaluation editions are included in the kit for software development.

The Kickstart edition has a 32k code size limit and the Evaluation edition is a fully functional version limited to 30 days.

Integrated project examples for the board using Freescale MQX software solutions are provided to facilitate start-up and also when using complex peripherals such as the USB or Ethernet controllers.

The IAR Kickstart kit for Kinetis K60 (part number KSK-TWRK60N512) is available in stock priced at EUR190 (GBP160).
