1. Plug It In

Let's take your FRDM board for a test drive! You have the choice of watching the sequence in a short video or following the detailed actions listed below.

1.1 Get Familiar with the Board

The FRDM-RW612 board is pre-programmed with a Wi-Fi CLI blinking LED demo. This serves as a sanity check to verify that the device is working as expected out of the box.

1.2 Plug in the Board

Connect a type-C USB cable from connector J10 to a host computer or power supply to power up the board and run the demo program. At this point, you should see the RGB LED blinking at a steady rhythm.

2.4 Programming and Provisioning Tools

The MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning (SEC) Tool is a GUI-based application provided to simplify the generation and provisioning of bootable executables on NXP MCU devices. We recommend all users to begin with the MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning (SEC) tool for trial run and mass production use. It supports secure programming and device provisioning on NXP's microcontrollers at the production stage.

After downloading the tool, you can find the user guide under the ‘Help’ tab. Follow the instructions for your board in the ‘Processor-specific workflow’ chapter.

To use the UART for printing (instead of the default semihosting), Select UART as the SDK Debug Console checkbox under the project options. Then, click on Finish

    4. FRDMRW612-IMG17

    FRDMRW612-IMG17
  4. Click on the “frdmrw612_ctimer_match_interrupt_example” project in the Project Explorer View and build, compile, and run the demo as described in the previous section

    5. FRDMRW612-IMG18

    FRDMRW612-IMG18
  5. You should see the GREEN and RED LED changing back and forth
  6. Terminate the debug session

4.2 Clone an Example Project Using MCUXpresso Config Tool for 3rd Party IDE

The following steps will guide you through the manipulation of the general-purpose outputs. The example sets up a SCTimer to generate a PWM signal and change a LED brightness.

  1. Open the MCUXpresso Config Tool
  2. In the wizard that comes up, select the “Create a new configuration based on an SDK example or hello word project” radio button and click on Next

    3. FRDMRW612-IMG19

    FRDMRW612-IMG19
  3. On the next screen, select the location of the MCUXpresso SDK . The SDK package must be unzipped beforehand. Then select the IDE that is being used. Note that only IDEs that were selected in the online SDK builder when the SDK was built will be available and click on clone select example. Then select the project to clone. For this example, we want to use the gpio led output project. You can filter for this by typing “ctimer” in the filter box and then selecting the “ctimer_match_interrupt_example” example project. You can then also specify where to clone the project and the name. Then click on Finish

    4. FRDMRW612-IMG20

    FRDMRW612-IMG20
  4. After cloning go to the directory you selected and open the project for your IDE. Import, compile, and run the project as done in previous sections
  5. You should see the RED and GREEN LED changing back and forth
  6. Terminate the debug session

4.3 Use MCUXpresso IDE Pins Tools

Note: Previously, you had to clone an SDK project like in the previous step.

  1. Open the pins tool by selecting “ConfigTools” on the top right hand of the file explorer window and then select “ Open Pins”

    2. FRDMRW612-IMG21

    FRDMRW612-IMG21
  2. The pins tool should now display the pin configuration for the ctimer project

    3. FRDMRW612-IMG22

    FRDMRW612-IMG22

4.4 Use the Pins Tools to Modify the LED Routed Pin

  1. We’ll use MCUXpresso IDE for the rest of the instructions, but the same steps can be done in MCUXpresso Config tools for third party IDEs. In the Pins view deselect “Show dedicated pins” and “Show no routed pins” checkboxes to see only the routed pins. Routed pins have a check in a green box next to the pin name. The functions selected for each routed pin are highlighted in green

    2. FRDMRW612-IMG23

    FRDMRW612-IMG23
  2. In the current configuration, GPIO_12_LED_GREEN are routed as the outputs of the CTimer. Let’s add the pin configuration to enable the GREEN LED
  3. Select “Show no routed pins” to see the other options. To enable the green LED, search for GPIO_12 and select GPIO_12, 0 under the GPIO column

    4. FRDMRW612-IMG24

    FRDMRW612-IMG24
  4. Next configure the GPIO pin as an output in the “Routing Details” window
  5. Now it’s time to implement these changes into the project by exporting the new updated pin_mux.c and pin_mux.h files that are generated by the Pins tool. Click on Update Project in the menu bar

    6. FRDMRW612-IMG25

    FRDMRW612-IMG25
  6. The screen that pops up will show the files that are changing and you can click on “diff” to see the difference between the current file and the new file generated by the Pins tool. Click on “OK” to overwrite the new files into your project

    7. Note: The clocks and other files may also be tagged as being updated since the header has been changed.

    FRDMRW612-IMG26

    FRDMRW612-IMG26
  7. The screen that pops up will show the files that are changing and you can click on “diff” to see the difference between the current file and the new file generated by the Pins tool. Click on “OK” to overwrite the new files into your project

    8. FRDMRW612-IMG27

    FRDMRW612-IMG27
  8. Let’s add some additional code to the example. Open simple_match_interrupt.c file and add the following macros for the third ctimer output

    9. FRDMRW612-IMG28

    FRDMRW612-IMG28
  9. Some additional code to be implemented will be the third ctimer’s callback, this can be copied from ctimer_match1_callback and modify the content to match2. To be able to visually identify the new ctimer, we will remove one of the previous ctimers as shown

    10. FRDMRW612-IMG29

    FRDMRW612-IMG29

    FRDMRW612-IMG30

    FRDMRW612-IMG30
  10. The main function will need to include the initialization and set up of the Ctimer

    11. GS-FRDMRW612-IMG32

    GS-FRDMRW612-IMG32
  11. Build and download the project as done in the previous section
  12. Run the application. You should now see the Green, Blue and RED LED blinking back and forth
  13. Terminate the debug session

    5. MCUXpresso Developer Experience

    Check out each of the following sections, to learn about the ecosystem provided for flexible protyping and development. In the video below, we will introduce you to the FRDM platform, the full-featured EVK and the compatible shields for extended capabilities. In addition we will walk you through our Application Code Hub portal where we provide numerous application examples through NXP's Github.

    5.1 FRDM Platform, Full feature EVK and Shields

    For quick prototyping platforms, we offer both the low-cost FRDM platform and the full-featured EVK.

    FRDM Development Boards come with standard form factor and headers, easy access to MCU I/Os, on-board MCU-Link debugger and a USB-C cable. Our full features evaluation kits include extended I/O and interface access, extendable with WiFi and additional MCU-Link features.There are also many compatible Click Board and/or Arduino shields. For those that are supported with an Open CMSIS Pack examples may be available on ACH, but if not many of them are easy to use via serial interface like I2C, SPI and UART, for which we provide drivers with examples in the MCUXpresso SDK.

    5.2 Application Code Hub

    The Application Code Hub further enhances our MCUXpresso Developer Experience by giving developers an interactive dashboard to quickly locate software. Visit the ACH  today to start exploring or discover additional details and benefits of the new interactive Application Code Hub.

    Software accessible from Application Code Hub is located in NXP’s GitHub repository  so it can be easily accessed and cloned from that location directly.

    5.3 Demo Walkthrough

    The following demo walks us through importing a project from ACH using a system based on the FRDM platform with a motor control shield and a low cost LCD. Although your evaluation board may differ from this system, the following steps can be replicated and used for all supported platforms.
