1.Get Started

Let's take your C9KEAZ128Q80 Evaluation Board for a test drive.

1.1 Get Started with C9KEA Development Platform

1.2 Get your Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

The C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board performs better when using S32 Design Studio for Arm® IDE.

C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board is also supported by the S32 Design Studio for Arm® IDE.

Download S32 Design Studio for Arm

1.3 Download the C9KEAZ128Q80 Evaluation Board QSP

Get the C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board Quick Start Package and check both C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board Quick Start Guide and C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board Software Integration Guide.

Download C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board QSP

1.4 Download the C9KEAZ128Q80 Evaluation Board Sample Code

Get the C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board sample code and check both C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board Quick Start Guide and C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board Software Integration Guide.

Download C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board sample code

1.5 Download the MSCAN Driver

Get the MSCAN driver for Kinetis EA devices.

Download MSCAN driver

1.6 Get the Virtual COM Port Driver

Make sure that the driver for the boards virtual COM port is installed as many of the example applications output data over the MCU's UART.

Download virtual COM port driver

Plug It In

Run your favorite terminal application to view the serial output from the MCU's UART (the recommended settings are: 115200 baud rate 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)
Open the device manager and look under the "Ports" group to define the port number of the C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board's virtual COM port.

Follow these steps if you are unsure on how to use the terminal application to display information sent from your NXP development platform's virtual serial port: Tera Term Tutorial, PuTTY Tutorial

2.1 Plug the USB Cable

GS-FRDM-KEAZ128-Connection

2.2 Try Demos

Your C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board comes pre-loaded with two demos:

GS-FRDM-KEAZ128-BlinkLED
  • DEMO 1 = LED blinking with interactivity using the onboard potentiometer.
    The LED will blink faster and then switch colors when the potentiometer is turned.
  • DEMO 2 = LED brightness and dim
    by pressing the user button, which uses the ADC and potentiometer

Build, Run

Learn how to create a new project in S32 Design Studio for Arm® and the basics to load your own code by running an easy example code.

3.1 Create an application for the C9KEAZ128Q80 Evaluation Board

3.2 Create a New S32DS Project

Create a new project in your workspace and load the configuration for your C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board.

3.3 Create, Build and Run your Application

Create a "hello world" code within minutes and watch it working in your C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board.

Tera Term Tutorial

Tera Term open source terminal emulation application

  1. Download Tera Term from SourceForge and run the installer.
  2. Select the serial option once you launch Tera Term.
    A COM port will be automatically populated in the list if the C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board is plugged. Tera-Term-Connection
  3. Configure the serial port settings (using the COM port number identified earlier) by going to Setup > Serial Port and change the settings to 115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
  4. Verify the open connection by checking the title bar in the Tera Term application: Tera-Term-Console

PuTTY Tutorial

PuTTY application terminal emulation application

  1. Download PuTTY and run the installer.
  2. Launch PuTTY by either double-clicking on the *.exe file you downloaded or from the Start menu, depending on the type of download you selected.
  3. Configure the serial port settings by selecting the Serial radio button and enter the selected COM port number and change the settings to 115200 baud rate.
  4. PUTTY-Configuration
  5. Click Open to open the serial connection.
    Verify the open terminal window once enter the correct COM port and plug the C9KEAZ128Q80 evaluation board.
