2. Carrier Main Board
The OM15076 also called DK6 carrier main board provides a flexible development
system for NXP’s K32W061 and JN5189 ultra-low power, high performance wireless
microcontrollers. It can be used with a wide range of development tools, including NXP’s
MCUXpresso IDE. It has been developed by NXP to enable evaluation and prototyping
with the K32W061/041 IEEE 802.15.4 and BLE 5.0 wireless microcontroller.
The carrier boards (part number: OM15076) supplied in the development kit are
physically identical. They are all pre-fitted with an Arduino-compatible expansion board
and a K32W061-based module with integrated antenna.
2.1 Feature summary
The carrier main board includes the following features:
•K32W061 module site
•NFC Tag with printed antenna

Target side of the board can be powered from the FTDI header. The
K32W061 supports serial ISP boot from the FTDI header.
J5
32 pins Expansion header connector for debug. All the K32W061 IOs from
modules and more are available here.
J14
K32W061 VBAT current monitor V sense measurement. The V sense can be
measured with a volt meter. Pin 1 (square pad) is positive and pin 2 is
negative. K32W061 current is calculated by dividing the measured voltage at
J14 by the V sense resistance value of 3.3Ω.
J15
Link2 mini USB B-type connector. Powers both the Link2 side of the board
and depending on the JP3, J5 configuration, the K32W061 Target side of the
board. Power the board from this connector when using the on-board debug
probe to debug the K32W061 Target MCU.

1. Jumper “ON” (default) the K32W061 Target SWD interface enabled.
Normal operating mode where the Target SWD is connected to
either the on-board
2. Link2 debug probe or an external debug probe. Jumper “OFF”, the
K32W061 Target SWD interface is disabled. Use this setting only
when the on-board Link2 debug probe is used to debug an off-board
Target K32W061.
J2
SWD interface buffer power selection
J3
K32W061 power source selection
1. Jumper fitted in position pin 1 - 2 (default -5V REG). Power source
is either 5V from mini USB connector or FTDI connector, or 4.5V
from 3xAAA batteries or 5V from a 7-12V DC power supply
connected on J4.

JP7)
J5
Link2 (LPC4322) force DFU boot –2 position jumper pins.
1. Jumper open (default) or shunted to boot mode for Link2 to follow
the normal boot sequence. The Link2 will boot from internal flash if
image is found there. With the internal flash erased the Link2 normal
boot sequence will fall through to DFU boot.
2. Jumper shunted to force the Link2 to DFU boot mode. Use this
setting to reprogram the Link2 internal flash with a new image or to
use the MCUXpresso IDE with CMSIS-DAP protocol.
J6
JP6 is used to isolate the Link2 debug probe (SPI bridge function) from the
K32W061 target to prevent leakage current in power critical applications /
current consumption analysis. JP6 needs to be fitted in position 1 - 2 to use
the SPI bridging function between the K32W061 and Link2. This jumper is
not fitted by default

In System Programming (ISP) LED indicator. LED is ON when IO5_ISP
is pulled low and when SW2 button is pressed.
2.4 ARDUINO connectors
ARDUINO compatible connectors are based on Arduino R3.
References on the DK6 board are CN1, CN2, CN3, CN4.
The Generic expansion board OM15082 can be plugged into these connectors.
2.5 Buttons
2.5.1 Reset button
This button (SW4) is used to reset the K32W061 (note that the Link2 is NOT reset by this
button)
2.5.2 ISP button
This button connects the K32W061_PIO5 (ISP_Entry) pin to ground. This should be used
to set the K32W061 in ISP mode to program a binary file into the chip memory.
To force entry into this ISP mode, hold down the ISP button (SW2), press and release
the Reset button (SW4), then release the ISP button (SW2). This is done automatically
when using the DK6 Production Flash programmer with J2 (FTDI USB interface).
2.6 User Interface button
This button (BP1) is connected to K32W061_PIO_1 and should be used as an input.
2.7 K32W061 Serial port
The K32W061 UART0 can also be connected through a virtual communication port
(VCOM) UART bridge Link2 function either to a host computer connected to the J2 USB
FTDI or to J15 USB Link2. By default, the DK 6 is configured to use the FTDI USB.
For Link2 USB: The factory default CMSIS-DAP Link2 image includes UART bridge
functionality (VCOM support), and this firmware is also available with the LPCScrypt
utility, available at https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpc-
microcontroller-utilities:LPC-UTILITIES power connections and measurements.
For the USB FTDI, the PC driver is available on FTDI website (the FTDI chip is already
configured before the carrier board release).
2.8 Board power connections
A block diagram of the board power tree is shown in Figure 5. When the K32W061
Target is to be debugged from the on board Link2 probe, the USB mini B-type connector

(J15) must connected to a Host computer. When the K32W061 Target is to be debugged
from an external debug probe, instead of the on-board debug probe, the Link USB
connector (J15) must be disconnected.
The K32W061 Target VBAT selection is made at JP3, J5, with 3.3V from on-board LDO
set as the default.
2.9 Debug Configurations
The DK6 board has a built-in debug probe referred to as “Link2”. The K32W061 target
wireless MCU can be debugged by the Link2 debugging probe, or from an external
debug probe installed at P1. On-board jumpers JP1 and JP2 must be correctly positioned
for each mode. The on-board Link2 debug probe is capable of debugging target MCU’s
with a VDDIO range of 1.6V to 3.6V. Check the sections below for the appropriate jumper
settings and how to properly power the board.
2.9.1 Debug using on-board debug probe
To use the on-board Link debug probe:
•The jumper JP2 must be fitted in position pin 1 - 2 (Local Target).
•Jumper JP1 must be open or fitted in position 2 –3 to enable the target
K32W061.
•Connecting the mini USB J15 to a host computer will power the Link and
according JP3, J5 position, the K32W061 sections of the board and provide
the USB link to the debug tool software.
2.9.2 Debug using external debug probe
To use an external debug probe:
•connect the probe to the SWD (P1) connector

•power the K32W061 Target section of the board from the FTDI header (J1)
or the Jack connector (J4)
•and fit a jumper to JP2 across pin 1 - 2 (Local Target).
•Jumper JP1 must be open or fitted across pin 2 –3 to enable the target
K32W061.
•The on-board Link2 debug probe must be unpowered, by leaving USB mini
(J15) unconnected.
2.9.3 On-Board Link2 flash programming
To program the Link2 Flash the Link2 MCU must be in DFU mode. If the Link2 already
has a valid image in the flash, you will need to force it into DFU mode by placing a
jumper shunt on JP5 across pin 1 - 2, then power the board by connecting the mini USB
J15 to a host computer. Link2 MCU programming is performed using the LPCScrypt
utility (see https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpc-
microcontroller-utilities:LPC-UTILITIES). Instructions for using the tool are located at the
same web page.
2.9.4 Using the DK6 to debug an off-board target
The DK6 board’s Link2 debug probe may be used to debug an off-board target MCU.
The on-board Link2 debug probe is capable of debugging target MCU’s with a VDDIO
range of 1.6V to 3.6V. To keep the on-board target K32W061 MCU from interfering with
the SWD interface:
•JP1 must be fitted across pin 1 - 2.
•The Link2 debug probe SWD is connected by a ribbon cable between the
P1 connector to the off-board target MCU SWD interface.
•Power the DK6 board from the Link USB connector J15,
•Fit jumper JP2 across pins 2 - 3 (External Target).
