The KwikStik all-in-one development tool aids evaluation and development using Freescale’s Kinetis MCU, which has an ARM Cortex-M4 core. The low-cost tool combines a J-Link debug probe, low-power capacitive touch sensing, a 306 segment LCD user interface, and a suite of development and run-time software.
The kit can be used as a standalone, battery-operated tool, as an additional tool with a Tower System, or as a J-Link debugger — which does not need a separate debug probe. The tools card has a 100-MHz Kinetis K40 MCU with 256 Kbytes of flash and an equivalent amount of FlexMemory for application code. Also included are a USB OTG port, infrared communications, a Micro SD card slot, a 3.5-mm audio output jack, an omnidirectional microphone, a buzzer, six touch buttons, and a rechargeable battery. The Eclipse-based CodeWarrior 10.1 IDE, supporting up to 128 Kbytes of object code, is included, as is the Processor Expert tool with an auto-code generator. ($29 — available now through distribution.)
