TM 3Quick Start Guide for FRDM-KE04Z

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
Freescale Freedom KE04Z hardware, FRDM-KE04Z, is a simple,
yet sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis E Series
microcontroller, the industry’s 5V microcontroller built on theARM®
Cortex™-M0+ core.
