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
   Note: Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved in the BOOTLOADER

3. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the SDA port
   • This time, without pressing the RST button, the FRDM_KL25Z device should appear on the left pane of the Windows File Explorer as pictured in Figure 2.

4. Locate the file nxp-gui-fw-frdmkl25z-usb_hid-pf5300_v0.3.bin (or later version) from the package, and drag and drop the file into the FRDM_KL25Z device.
   Note: Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved

5. The Freedom board firmware is successfully loaded. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to the KL25Z USB port.

5.1.2 Flashing Freedom Board evaluation board firmware for Windows 10

1. Disable the storage services: Run the Services, double click on Storage Service from the resulting list, and press the Stop button. Steps 2 and 3 are not required if BOOTLOADER is already loaded in the KITPF5300SKTEVM board. In that case, start from step 4.

2. Press the RST button and connect the USB cable to the SDA port on the Freedom board.
   • A new BOOTLOADER device appears on the left pane of the Windows File Explorer.

3. Drag and drop the file MSD-DEBUG-FRDM-KL25Z_Pemicro_v118.SDA into the BOOTLOADER drive.
   Note: Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved in the BOOTLOADER.

4. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to the SDA port.
   • This time without pressing the RST button, the FRDM_KL25Z device should appear on the left pane of the Windows File Explorer as pictured in Figure 3.

5. Locate the file nxp-gui-fw-frdmkl25z-usb_hid-pf5300_v0.3 (or later version) from the package, and drag and drop the file into the FRDM_KL25Z device.
   Note: Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved.

6. The Freedom board firmware is successfully loaded. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to the FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller USB port.

5.2 Installing the GUI software package
Once the KIT is ready and the NXPGUI_Dev is installed, launch the KIT from your windows search bar and click to launch.
To install the PF5300 NXP GUI, download or obtain the NXPGUI package, unzip, and open the 1NXP_GUI_Setup folder:

Double click on the setup file and follow the instructions.
When installation is finished, search the application on the windows search bar as “NXPGUI_Dev”.

PF5300 NXP GUI

Once the kit is ready and the NXPGUI software is installed, use the Windows search bar to find the GUI. Click the search result to launch it.
Once the NXP GUI is opened and the kit selection window shown in Figure 4 is displayed, check for the following settings and click OK.

Note: To avoid the kit selection window on every launch, check the box Use this configuration and do not ask again.
The window shown in Figure 5 opens.

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.

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.
8. Go to the PROG tab in the left side selection
9. Select the programming source – either from a script file, or to use the existing GUI configuration
10. Click on the Program button to program the OTP fuses with the selected configuration.

To verify functionality of the programmed part:

1. Turn off EXT_8V.
2. Move J15 to 1-2.
3. Apply EXT_8V and check the output voltage.
