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.

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
*************************

The FRDM-KW41Z includes the :ref:`nxp_opensda` serial and debug adapter built
into the board to provide debugging, flash programming, and serial
communication over USB.

The :ref:`nxp_opensda_pyocd` tools do not yet support the KW41Z SoC.

To use the Segger J-Link tools with OpenSDA, follow the instructions in the
:ref:`nxp_opensda_jlink` page using the `Segger J-Link OpenSDA V2.1 Firmware`_.

Flashing
========

The Segger J-Link firmware does not support command line flashing, therefore
the ``make flash`` build target is not supported.

Debugging
=========

This example uses the :ref:`hello_world` sample with the
:ref:`nxp_opensda_jlink` tools. Use the ``make debug`` build target to build
your Zephyr application, invoke the J-Link GDB server, attach a GDB client, and
program your Zephyr application to flash. It will leave you at a gdb prompt.
