More mbed support is added to the Freedom microcontroller platform line! This time it's the FRDM-KL05Z. This is ultra-low-cost development platform is enabled by the Kinetis L Series KL0x MCU family built on the ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor. This new platform provides easier migration for 8-bit developers moving into the Kinetis portfolio.
Features of the FRDM-KL05Z include easy access to MCU I/O, battery-ready, low-power operation, a standard-based form factor with expansion board options and a built-in debug interface for flash programming and run-control. This platform allows development of devices start from 8 KB of flash in a small-footprint 4 x 4 mm 24 QFN package extending up to 32 KB in a 48 LQFP package.
Last month the FRDM-KL46Z became another Freedom platform enabled in the mbed ecosystem. It's also based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ processor, but is from the Kinetis KL4x MCU family. The Kinetis KL4x family is compatible with the Kinetis K40 based on ARM Cortex-M4 processor which creates a bridge to higher performance and feature integration. This platform is well suited to develop devices with display-based applications like electronic scales, thermostats, flow meters and smart meters.
