NXP FRDM-KW41Z
##############

Overview
********

The FRDM-KW41Z is a development kit enabled by the Kinetis |reg| W series
KW41Z/31Z/21Z (KW41Z) family built on ARM |reg| Cortex |reg|-M0+ processor with
integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver supporting Bluetooth |reg| Smart/Bluetooth
|reg| Low Energy
(BLE) v4.2, Generic FSK, IEEE |reg| 802.15.4 and Thread.

The FRDM-KW41Z kit contains two Freedom boards that can be used as a
development board or a shield to connect to a host processor. The FRDM-KW41Z is
form-factor compatible with the Arduino |trade| R3 pin layout for more expansion
options.

The FRDM-KW41Z highly-sensitive, optimized 2.4 GHz radio features a PCB
F-antenna which can be bypassed to test via SMA connection, multiple power
supply options, push/capacitive touch buttons, switches, LEDs and integrated
sensors.

System Clock
============

The KW41Z SoC is configured to use the 32 MHz external oscillator on the board
with the on-chip FLL to generate a 40 MHz system clock.

Serial Port
===========

The KW41Z SoC has one UART, which is used for the console.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Configuring a Debug Probe
=========================

A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is
configured by default to use the :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe`.

Option 1: :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe` (Recommended)
------------------------------------------------------------------

Install the :ref:`pyocd-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search
path.

Follow the instructions in :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe` to program
the `OpenSDA DAPLink FRDM-KW41Z Firmware`_.

Option 2: :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe`
--------------------------------------------------

Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search
path.

Follow the instructions in :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` to program
the `OpenSDA J-Link FRDM-KW41Z Firmware`_.

Add the arguments ``-DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=jlink`` and
``-DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=jlink`` when you invoke ``west build`` to override the
default runner from pyOCD to J-Link:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: frdm_kw41z
   :gen-args: -DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=jlink -DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=jlink
   :goals: build

Configuring a Console
=====================

Regardless of your choice in debug probe, we will use the OpenSDA
microcontroller as a usb-to-serial adapter for the serial console.

Connect a USB cable from your PC to J6.

Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty,
etc.):

- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1

Flashing
========

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: frdm_kw41z
   :goals: flash

Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the SW1 button), and you should
see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-rc1 *****
   Hello World! frdm_kw41z

Debugging
=========

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: frdm_kw41z
   :goals: debug

Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you
should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-rc1 *****
   Hello World! frdm_kw41z
