Summary of FRDM-K64F debug interface

By Jennie Zhang

FRDM-K64F is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis K64, K63, and K24 MCUs.
this board is already widely used among Freescale customers.
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=FRDM-K64F

The FRDM-K64F platform features OpenSDAv2, the Freescale open source hardware
embedded serial and debug adapter running an open source bootloader. This circuit offers
several options for serial communication, flash programming, and run-control debugging.
User who works with KDS3.0 can choose J-Link interface, P&E OpenSDA interface, or Mbed
interface. For each of the option, user need update debugger firmware first. I will introduce
each of them one by one.
