Installing and configuring software and tools

Flashing or updating the GUI firmwar

The KITPF5300FRDMEVM is always delivered with the GUI firmware already flashed. If MCU firmware already flashed, you can ignore this section. If it is specified that you need to update the firmware or it is malfunctioning, you can follow these instructions:

a.FLASHING Freedom Board FIRMWARE for WINDOWS 7

Steps 1,2 is not required if BOOTLOADER is already loaded in the FRDM Board and its required to
start from Step 3.

1. Press the RST push 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 File 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 Boot loader

3. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the SDA port

   • This time WITHOUT pressing the RST push button, FRDM_KL25Z device should appear on the left pane of the File explorer as pictured below.

4. Locate the file “nxp-gui-fw-frdmkl25z-usb_hid-pf5300_v0.3.bin” or later 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. Freedom board Firmware is successfully loaded. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the KL25Z USB port.

b. FLASHING Freedom Board FIRMWARE from WINDOWS 10

1. Disable the storage services: Run the services, double click on the storage service from the list and press the stop button
   Steps 2 and 3 is not required if BOOTLOADER is already loaded in the FRDM Board and its required to start from Step 4

2. Press the RST push button and Connect the USB cable into the SDA port on the Freedom
   Board.

   • a. A new “BOOTLOADER” device should appear on the left pane of the File explorer

3. Drag and drop the file “MSD-DEBUG-FRDM-KL25Z_Pemicro_v118.SDA” into the BOOTLOADER drive

   • a. Note: Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved in the Boot loader
