Freescale Freedom development platform

The Freescale Freedom development platform is a low-cost evaluation and development platform featuring Freescale’s newest Cortex-M0+ based Kinetis KL25Z MCUs

Board Features:

  • KL25Z128VLK4—Cortex-M0+ MCU with:
    • 128KB flash, 16KB SRAM
    • Up to 48MHz operation
    • USB full-speed controller
  • OpenSDA—sophisticated USB debug interface
  • Tri-color LED
  • Capacitive touch "slider"
  • Freescale MMA8451Q accelerometer
  • Flexible power supply options
    • Power from either on-board USB connector
    • Coin cell battery holder (optional population option)
    • 5V-9V Vin from optional IO header
    • 5V provided to optional IO header
    • 3.3V to or from optional IO header
  • Reset button
  • Expansion IO form factor accepts peripherals designed for Arduino™-compatible hardware

ARM Cortex-M0+ — the world’s most energy-efficient processor

  • More than 2x CoreMark/mA performance of closest 8/16-bit competitor and 30% less power than Cortex-M0
  • 2x to 40x more performance than 8- and 16-bit and 9% more performance than Cortex-M0
  • Cortex-M compatibility – 100% compatible with Cortex-M0 instruction set and a subset the Cortex-M3/M4 instruction set, allowing reuse of existing compilers and debug tools minimising migration effort
