Getting Started with the KITFS5600SKTEVM Evaluation
Board
Get Started
NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating
NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions.
They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use
proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form
factor, reduced component counts, lower cost, and improved performance in powering
state-of-the-art systems.
This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the
KITFS5600SKTEVM evaluation board.

Get to Know the Hardware
2.1 Board Features
VBAT power supply connectors
SW1 output capability up to 100 mA (internal MOSFET) - load current limited due
to socket
SW2 output capability up to 100 mA (external MOSFET) - load current limited due
to socket
EN1/2 switches
PGOOD1/2 status indicators
FS0B external safety pin
LEDs that indicate signal or regulator status
Emulation mode capabilities
USB connection and GUI for register access, OTP emulation and programming
2.2 Board Description
The KITFS5600SKTEVM is a hardware evaluation tool that allows performance test and
OTP programming of the FS5600.
An Emulation mode is possible to test different OTP configurations as needed. Different
inductors and MOSFETs are included in the kit to allow the user to try different switching
frequencies.

1. VBAT connector
2. SW1 output
3. SW2 output
4. BIAS_IN input
5. Debug voltage input
6. EN1 and EN2 switches
7. GPIO1/2/3 option selection

Install Software
Unzip the NXPGUI_PR_x into any desired location. Find the NXP_GUI_x.x-Setup
from the GUI folder inside the package and run it to install the GUI in any desired
location.
Freedom board firmware update
For Windows 10, disable the storage services: run services.msc; double-click on the
storage service from the list and press the Stop button.

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:
1. 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.
2. b. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the SDA port (this time
WITHOUT pressing the RST push button).
3. 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.

6/9
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.
To use the hardware configuration:
When EVMs are shipped, all DIP switches are preset to certain configurations. To
change the setting, refer to UM11596.
To use the software GUI configuration:
Users should first download PTN944 GUI from the NXP website. Users are
encouraged to first flash the LPCUSBSIO module with the latest firmware, which is
located under the GUI package firmware directory. Refer to UM11596 for additional
details.
Connect USB-2-I C module to a PC (via a micro USB cable) and EVM's J5 (via an
included 10-pin ribbon cable).
In the GUI package, there is a directory "PTN3944 PCIe" to be used with
PTN3944EVM-KIT. When GUI is executed, several default script files that are
already pre-loaded in this directory for quick configuration. User can also go
through each PTN3944's registers and change the channel equalizer settings
manually.
Configuring the Hardware

7/9
Figure 1 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 1, complete the
following procedure:
1. Ensure that jumpers are in the default positions.
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.

8/9
5. A configuration window is displayed. Select the kit type and the device silicon
version, and then click OK.
6. Click Start to enable the connection to the device. Once the device is connected
properly, the “Start” button is activated and the system is ready for operation.
7. If the NXPGUI does not recognize the FRDM-K82F board or if the Start button does
not get activated, then it is possible that the interface is broken. In this case,
reprogramming of the FRDM board can be attempted.
