| ############## |
| |
| 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. |

| 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 |
| ************************* |
| |
| 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`. |
| |
| Option 1: :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe` (Recommended) |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| Install the :ref:`pyocd-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search |
| path. |
| |
| Follow the instructions in :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe` to program |
| the `OpenSDA DAPLink FRDM-KW41Z Firmware`_. |
| |
| Option 2: :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` |
| -------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| 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-KW41Z Firmware`_. |
| |
| Add the argument ``-DOPENSDA_FW=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_kw41z |
| :gen-args: -DOPENSDA_FW=jlink |
| :goals: build |
| |
| 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 J6. |
| |
| 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 :ref:`hello_world` application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: frdm_kw41z |
| :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_kw41z |
| |
| Debugging |
| ========= |
| |
| Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: frdm_kw41z |
| :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 ***** |
