for evaluation and development. It is ideal for rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based
applications. The Freescale Freedom KL43Z hardware (FRDM-KL43Z) is a simple, yet
sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis L series microcontroller, the industry’s first
microcontroller built on the ARM® Cortex®-M0+ core.
Features:
•MKL43Z256VLH4MCU – 48MHz, 256KB Flash, 32KB SRAM, 16K ROM
(Kibble), segment LCD, USB device (FS), 64 LQFP
•Capacitive touch slider, MMA8451Q accelerometer, MAG3110

way
to
program applications into the KL43Z MCU. It emulates a FAT16 file system, appearing as a removable drive in the host file systemwith
a volume label of FRDM-KL43Z. Raw binary and Motorola S-record files that are copied to the drive are programmed directly into the
flash of the KL43 and executed automatically. The virtual serial port can be opened with standard serial terminal applications.

of OpenSDA Applications. FRDM-KL43Z comes with the MSD Flash Programmer OpenSDA Application preinstalled. Follow these
instructions to run the OpenSDA Bootloader and change the installed OpenSDA Application to P&E Debug Application that provides
debugging and a virtual serial port all in one application.
