1. Press the RST push button on the Freedom board and connect the USB cable into the
SDA port (J5) on the Freedom board.
2. If a new “BOOTLOADER” device appears on the left pane of the File explorer:
a. Drag and drop the downloaded file “0244_k20dx_bootloader_update_0x8000.bin”
into the BOOTLOADER drive. Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to
be saved in the Bootloader.
b. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the SDA port (this time WITHOUT
pressing the RST push button).
c. Drag and drop the file “k20dx_frdmk82f_if_crc_legacy_0x8000.bin” from the
package (MCU folder) into the MAINTENANCE drive.
Note:
Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved in the Bootloader.
The device should change to FRDM_K82FD.
3. Skip 2a if MAINTENANCE appears in the File Explorer instead of BOOTLOADER.
Follow 2b and 2c instead.
4. Locate the file “nxp-gui-fw-frdmk82f-usb_hid-fs5600_xxx.bin” from the package
(MCU folder) and drag and drop the file into the FRDM_K82FD device.

5. Freedom board Firmware is successfully loaded. Disconnect and reconnect the USB
cable into the USB port. Open the previously installed NXPGUI. The “Start” button on
the top-left corner must be activated.
6. If only the NXPGUI firmware needs to be updated, then start from step 4 above. The
PC detects FRDM_K82FD.
6 Configuring the hardware for startup
Figure 3. Typical initial configuration
Figure 3 presents a typical hardware configuration incorporating the development board,
power supply and Windows PC workstation.
To configure the hardware and workstation as illustrated in Figure 3, complete the
following procedure:
1. Ensure that jumpers are in the default positions as shown in Section 4.2.1 "Jumpers".
2. With the USB cable connected to the PC and the USB port in the freedom board
K82F, apply power to the evaluation board by applying 12 V between J21 and J25.
3. Press Reset on the Freedom board to make sure that the board is recognized.
4. Run the installed NXPGUI application from the Start menu or the installation folder.
