‘Inversion‘ is a meteorology phenomena in my area in Switzerland: typically the air gets colder the higher you get up in the mountains. But under special conditions during Fall/Winter time, it is possible that cold air is on the ground, … Continue reading
There has been many new releases these days: Freescale released Processor Expert Driver Suite 10.3, and Liviu Ionescu released new GNU ARM Eclipse Plugins with new and updated documentation. So time for me to show how this all comes together 🙂
Processor Expert Driver Suite 10.3 Project with GNU ARM Eclipse Build Tools
It is now easier than ever before to use the GNU ARM Eclipse plugins and Processor Expert. There are still some manual steps, and this post is about all the details to get it working as smooth as possible.
Freescale has released a new Processor Expert Driver Suite: the version 10.3 🙂

Finally my Freescale TWR-K21F120M board arrived 🙂

For the next generation of INTRO Zumo robots I’m evaluating a new ‘brain’: more processing power, more FLASH, more RAM, more of everything 😉
The Freescale Tower boards are very versatile, and there are many different boards you can combine like lego bricks. When I tinker with my own hardware or need to try out something, then I use a special prototype board: the TWR-PROTO.

I’m maintaining and hosting now more than 100 different Processor Expert components on GitHub. Instead to deal with CDE (Component Development Environment, that’s the SDK to create your own components), most users simply download and install the PEupd files. If you deal with normal source files, and if spot something you want (or need to change), then you can easily do this. But what if you want or need to change something in that code which comes with the PEupd file(s)?

Winter in Grindelwald, December 2013. Snow covered landscape, pictures from the early morning and late afternoon.
I have I project which I want to debug on multiple boards the same time. So how can I download and debug the same application to multiple boards/processors, and debug them all the same time from within the same workspace and Eclipse IDE?
This is a typical scenario I have with my RNet stack: the same application runs on multiple boards, and I want to debug all the boards with the same project with the same Eclipse. For example to wireless sensor nodes with the RNet nRF24L01+ stack as in the picture below:

In Part 1 of this series I have covered the SD card on the Arduino Ethernet shield. In Part 2 I’m hooking up the board to the network and will be able to ping it 🙂
Arduino Ethernet Shield with FRDM-KL25Z
Sometimes it takes a very long time to realize a project. Adding the Arduino Ethernet Shield R3 to one of my Freescale FRDM boards is one of it: it took me a year until I have found a few days to work on using the Ethernet Shield with my FRDM-KL25Z.

I have not everything in place yet, so I decided to publish things in parts. So this is about part one: using the Micro SD Card on the Shield.
