5 Installing and configuring software tools
5.1 Flashing or updating the GUI firmware
The KITPF5300SKTEVM is always delivered with the GUI firmware already flashed. If the MCU firmware is
already flashed, the user can ignore this section. If it is specified that the user needs to update the firmware or if
the firmware is malfunctioning, follow these instructions:
5.1.1 Flashing Freedom Board evaluation board firmware for Windows 7
Steps 1 and 2 are not required if BOOTLOADER is already loaded in the KITPF5300SKTEVM board. In that
case, start from step 3.
1. Press the RST button and connect the USB cable into the SDA port on the Freedom board
•A new BOOTLOADER device should appear on the left pane of the Windows Explorer
2. Drag and drop the file MSD-DEBUG-FRDM-KL25Z_Pemicro_v118.SDA into the BOOTLOADER drive

7 Configuring the hardware
Once the user has installed the NXP GUI, follow these instructions to quickly power up the board.
Powering up the board with pre-programmed OTP configuration
1. Make sure that the board has the right jumper configuration per Table 1 and Figure 6.
2. Ensure that SW4 is in the NORMAL position.
3. Verify that the FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller is plugged in, and the USB cable on the FRDM-KL25Z
microcontroller USB connector side is attached. It is important that the USB cable is connected to a PC,
because the cable enables communication with the NXP GUI and provides the VDDIO reference for the IC.
4. Apply VIN and PVIN with PWRON = 0.
5. Move J10 from 1-2 to 2-3 to turn on the PF53.
6. Open the GUI and communicate as required.
Figure 6. Jumpers
Powering up the board in Debug mode
Debug mode allows the user to modify OTP mirror registers before powering up. This facilitates exercising
different features of the PF5300 while deciding on the best configuration for a given application.
1. Ensure that jumpers in the board are configured per Table 1
2. Connect the FRDMKL25Z board to the socketed board.
3. Connect the mini-USB cable from the USB port of the KL25Z to the PC that will run the GUI
4. Apply 8 V to the EXT_8V connector J5.
5. Apply 3.3 V to the VIN/PVIN connector J8
6. Open the GUI and click Start in the top-left
7. Select Test Mode from the menu selection as shown below, then click Apply.
