Title: Kinetis support
Post by: jezc on January 25, 2011, 11:17:20 AM

Hi Mark,

I've just seen your initial info regarding the support for Kinetis - I've got a K60 tower kit ready & waiting.

Will this be a new project type?

Looking forward to hopefully trying it soon!

Cheers,

Although the Kinetis has some Coldfire peripherals it requires different tools to the Coldfire, needs some different peripherals and some peripheral extensions to support new features that they offer. What I am just about to do is extend the Coldfire Forum to include Kinetis as well (due to the similarity in some cases and also since I see the Kinetis as a transition path for present Coldfire users to this family) - the Kinetis is however a different project package.

Regards

Mark

Hi Mark,

That's no problem - I'm aware of the differences in the core etc, I'm just keen to get a more powerful (and capable) micro for some future work.

I'll register for that project package for home use and evaluate it - I'm hoping it'll overcome some of the problems I'm having with both existing ColdFire & NXP LPC processors...

Thanks,
