The NXP Freedom development platform is a set of software and hardware tools for evaluation and development. It is
ideal for rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based applications. The NXP Freedom KW24 hardware, FRDM-
KW24D512, is a simple, yet sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis W series MCU, the industry’s first MCU built on
the ARM® Cortex® M4 core.
This equipment is to be used by developers for evaluation purposes only, and must be incorporated into any other
device or system. Integrators are responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining
a separate authorization.
Features:
MKW24D512VHA5 MCU – 50MHz, 512KB Flash, 64KB SRAM, 63LGA
Small RF reference design area marked in silkscreen, combo sensor
FXOS8700CQ, Tri-color LED, Flexible power supply options – USB, external source
Two (4) user push-button switches (SW1-SW4)
Easy access to MCU I/O
Power-measurement access points
UART, SPI, I2C, optional USB 2.0 FS/LS H/D/OTG
Form factor compatible with Arduino ™ R3 pin layout
New, OpenSDA debug interface
oMass storage device flash programming interface (default) – no tool
installation required to evaluate demo apps
oCMSIS-DAP interface: new ARM standard for embedded debug interface

FRDM-KW24D512 Operation Description
The KW24 operating frequency range is 2405 MHz to 2480 MHz, the data rate is 250 Kbps,
and the modulation type is O-QPSK – all of these parameters are defined by the 802.15.4
standard.
The antenna is a fixed printed inverted “F”, or PIFA antenna on the PCB. The operating
voltage for the KW24 is 5V and the current for TX/RX is < 20 mA. The KW24 crystal
oscillator is 32 MHz and the radio uses an internal PLL to generate the RF frequency.

Introduction to OpenSDA 1 of 2
OpenSDA is an open-standard serial and debug adapter. It bridges serial and debug communications between a USB host and an
embedded target processor. OpenSDA software includes a flash-resident USB mass-storage device (MSD) bootloader and a collection
of OpenSDA Applications. FRDM-KW24D512 comes with the following applications preloaded:
- MSD Flash Programmer
- Debug Application
- Virtual mbed serial port
Follow these instructions to run the OpenSDA Bootloader and change the installed OpenSDA application:

Introduction to OpenSDA 2 of 2
The MSD Flash Programmer is a composite USB application that provides a virtual serial port and an easy and convenient way to
program applications into the KW24 MCU. It emulates a FAT16 file system, appearing as a removable drive in the host file system with
a volume label of ‘DAPLink’. Raw binary files that are copied to the drive are programmed directly into the flash of the KW24 and
executed automatically. The virtual serial port can be opened with standard serial terminal applications.
