The Freescale Freedom development platform is a set of software
and hardware tools for evaluation and development. It is ideal for
rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based applications. The FRDM-
K64F development platform is a simple, yet sophisticated design
featuring a Kinetis K series MCU, built on the ARM® Cortex®-M4
core.
Features:
MK64FN1M0VLL12 MCU –120MHz, 1024KB Flash, 256KB
SRAM, FPU, DSP, Crystal-less USB (USB device), 100 LQFP
FXOS8700CQ accelerometer and magnetometer
RGB LED
Flexible power supply options –USB, external source
Easy access to MCU I/O
Ethernet, SDHC, USB
Add-on Module: RF24L01+ (RF) and JY-MCU (BT)
Form factor compatible with Arduino™ R3 pin layout
New, OpenSDAv2 serial and debug interface
Open-source hardware design
Open-source bootloader and firmware
Virtual serial port interface
Mass storage device (MSD) flash programming interface –
no tool installation required to evaluate demo apps
CMSIS-DAP interface: new ARM standard for embedded
debug interface

TM 5 Quick Start Guide for FRDM-K64F
FRDM-K64F comes with the mass-storage device (MSD)
Flash Programmer OpenSDAv2Application preinstalled.
It will appear as a removable storage drive with a volume
label of MBED.
The MSD Flash Programmer also includes a USB virtual
serial port which requires an .INF file for proper
installation in Windows. The necessary .INF file is
available in the mbed OpenSDAv2 USB Drivers (Step 1).
Download and Install the mbed OpenSDAv2 USB
Drivers found at http://mbed.org/handbook/Windows-
serial-configuration.
1
Plug in a USB cable (not included) from a USB host
to the OpenSDAv2 micro-B USB connector. The
FRDM-K64F will be powered by this USB
connection.
2
Installing Drivers and Running the Out of Box Demo
The pre-installed out-of-box demo running on the
K64 MCU will cycle through several colors on the
RGB LED
3
After Step 3 completes, press SW3 twice and tilt
the board. The RGB LED will change from RED to
GREEN based on the accelerometer data.
4
After Step 4 completes, press SW3 six times.
Place a metal material over the board or tilt the
board. The RGB LED will change based on the
accelerometer and magnetometer data. The
stronger magnetism on the magnetometer
component, the brighter RGB LED emitted.

TM 6 Quick Start Guide for FRDM-K64F
OpenSDAv2 is an open-standard serial and debug adapter. It bridges serial and debug communications between a USB
host and an embedded target processor. OpenSDAv2 software includes a flash-resident open-source USB mass-storage
device (MSD) bootloader and a collection of OpenSDAv2Applications. FRDM-K64F comes with the MSD Flash
Programmer OpenSDAv2 Application preinstalled. Follow these instructions to run the OpenSDAv2 Bootloader and
update or change the installed OpenSDAv2 Application.
Enter OpenSDAv2 Bootloader Mode
A removable drive should now be visible in the host file
system with a volume label of BOOTLOADER. You are now
in OpenSDAv2 Bootloader mode.
1 Unplug the USB cable if attached.
2 Press and hold the Reset button (SW1).
3 Plug in a USB cable (not included) between a USB
host and the OpenSDAv2 USB connector (labeled
“SDA”). .
4 Release the Reset button.
1 While in OpenSDAv2 Bootloader mode, double-click
bootload.HTML in the BOOTLOADER drive. A web
browser will open the mbed homepage. Navigate the
page to “Firmwareupdate”. Download
mbed_if_v#.#_frdm_k64f binary or s19
file.
How to load an OpenSDAv2 Application
2 Or, Locate the OpenSDAv2 Applications folder
in the FRDM-K64F Quick Start Package.
3 Copy & paste or drag & drop the MSD Flash
ProgrammerApplication
(k20dx128_k64f_if_mbed.bin or
k20dx128_k64f_if_mbed.s19 or
mbed_if_v#.#_frdm_k64.bin)to the
BOOTLOADER drive.
4 Unplug the USB cable and plug it in again. The new
OpenSDAv2 Application should now be running and
a MBED drive should be visible in the host file
system.
You are now running the latest version of the MSD Flash
Programmer. Use this same procedure to load other
OpenSDAv2 Applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Follow the “How to load an
OpenSDAv2 Application” instructions to update the MSD
Flash Programmer on your FRDM-K64F to the latest
version. It is likely that the version provided in this
package is newer than what was preprogrammed on your
FRDM-K64F.

TM 7 Quick Start Guide for FRDM-K64F
The MSD Flash Programmer is a composite USB application that provides a virtual serial port and an easy and convenient
way to program applications into the K64 MCU. It emulates a FAT file system, appearing as a removable drive in the host
file system with a volume label of MBED. Raw binary or Motorola S-record files that are copied to the drive are
programmed directly into the flash of the K64 and executed automatically. The virtual serial port enumerates as a standard
serial port device that can be opened with standard serial terminal applications.
Using the MSD Flash Programmer
The new application should now be running on the FRDM-
K64F. Starting with the MSD Flash Programmer, you can
program repeatedly without the need to unplug and re-
attach the USB cable before reprogramming.
Program rtc_demo.bin example to replace the out-of-box
demo on your FRDM-K64F.
1 Locate the Precompiled Examples folder in the
FRDM-K64F Quick Start Package.
2 Copy & paste or drag & drop one of the .bin files to
the MBED drive.
1 Determine the symbolic name assigned to the
FRDM-K64F virtual serial port. In Windows open
Device Manager and look for the COM port named
“mbed Serial Port”.
Using the Virtual Serial Port
NOTE: Flash programming with the MSD Flash Programmer is currently only supported on Windows operating
systems. However, the virtual serial port has been successfully tested on Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
2 Open the serial terminal emulation program of your
choice. Examples for Windows include Tera Term,
PuTTY, and HyperTerminal.
3 Program one of the “shell_test” applications from the
Precompiled Examples folder using the MSD
Flash Programmer.
4 Configure the terminal program. Most embedded
examples use 8 data bits, no parity bits, and one
stop bit (8-N-1). Set the baud rate to 115200 and
open the port. Note: When a new application is
applied, terminal program is required to reconnect.
5 Press and release the Reset button (SW1) at
anytime to restart the example application. Resetting
the embedded application will not affect the
connection of the virtual serial port to the terminal
program.
