NXP FRDM-KW41Z
##############
Overview
********
The FRDM-KW41Z is a development kit enabled by the Kinetis |reg| W series
KW41Z/31Z/21Z (KW41Z) family built on ARM |reg| Cortex |reg|-M0+ processor with
integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver supporting Bluetooth |reg| Smart/Bluetooth
|reg| Low Energy
(BLE) v4.2, Generic FSK, IEEE |reg| 802.15.4 and Thread.
The FRDM-KW41Z kit contains two Freedom boards that can be used as a
development board or a shield to connect to a host processor. The FRDM-KW41Z is
form-factor compatible with the Arduino |trade| R3 pin layout for more expansion
options.
The FRDM-KW41Z highly-sensitive, optimized 2.4 GHz radio features a PCB
F-antenna which can be bypassed to test via SMA connection, multiple power
supply options, push/capacitive touch buttons, switches, LEDs and integrated
sensors.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
``boards/arm/frdm_kw41z/frdm_kw41z_defconfig``
Other hardware features are not currently supported by the port.
Connections and IOs
===================
The KW41Z SoC has three pairs of pinmux/gpio controllers, but only two are
currently enabled (PORTA/GPIOA and PORTC/GPIOC) for the FRDM-KW41Z board.

System Clock
============
The KW41Z SoC is configured to use the 32 MHz external oscillator on the board
with the on-chip FLL to generate a 40 MHz system clock.
Serial Port
===========
The KW41Z SoC has one UART, which is used for the console.
Programming and Debugging
*************************
Flashing
========
The FRDM-KW41Z includes an `OpenSDA`_ serial and debug adaptor built into the
board. The adaptor provides:
- A USB connection to the host computer, which exposes a Mass Storage and an
USB Serial Port.
- A Serial Flash device, which implements the USB flash disk file storage.
- A physical UART connection which is relayed over interface USB Serial port.
Flashing an application to FRDM-KW41Z
-------------------------------------
The sample application :ref:`hello_world` is used for this example.
Build the Zephyr kernel and application:
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $ZEPHYR_BASE
$ . zephyr-env.sh
$ cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/hello_world/
$ make BOARD=frdm_kw41z
Connect the FRDM-KW41Z to your host computer using the USB port and you should
see a USB connection which exposes a Mass Storage (DAPLINK) and a USB Serial
Port. Copy the generated zephyr.bin in the DAPLINK drive.
Reset the board and you should be able to see on the corresponding Serial Port
the following message:
.. code-block:: console
Hello World! arm
