System Clock

The K32L2B31VLH0A SoC is configured to use the 32.768 kHz external oscillator on the board to generate a 48 MHz system clock.

Serial Port

The K32L2B31VLH0A LPUART0 is used for the console.

Programming and Debugging

The frdm_k32l2b3 board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

	flash	debug	debugserver	rtt	attach
linkserver	✅ (default)	✅ (default)	✅		✅
pyocd	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅

Build and flash applications as usual (see Building an Application and Run an Application 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 OpenSDA DAPLink Onboard Debug Probe.

For more information about OpenSDA and firmware applications check OpenSDA FRDM-K32L2B3.

Using LinkServer

Install the LinkServer Debug Host Tools and make sure they are in your search path. LinkServer works with the CMSIS-DAP firmware. Please follow the instructions on OpenSDA DAPLink Onboard Debug Probe and select the latest revision of the firmware image.

LinkServer is the default for this board, west flash and west debug will call the linkserver runner.

west flash
west debug

Using pyOCD

Install the pyOCD Debug Host Tools and make sure they are in your search path. pyOCD works with the CMSIS-DAP firmware.

Add the arguments -DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=pyocd and -DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=pyocd when you invoke west build to override the default runner from linkserver to pyocd:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b frdm_k32l2b3 samples/hello_world -- -DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=pyocd -DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=pyocd

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 J13.

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 Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b frdm_k32l2b3 samples/hello_world
west flash

Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the SW2 button), and you should see the following message in the terminal:

*** Booting Zephyr OS build v4.1.0-7032-g3198db1b1229 ***
Hello World! frdm_k32l2b3/k32l2b31a
