Download the driver for your USB-KW019032

Download and install the driver for your USB-KW019032. Before running the driver installer, you MUST have the board plugged in to your PC.

Download Driver

Download the sniffer application

This step only applies in case you previously downloaded other demo to your board and you require to re-program the board with the snifer application.

Get the sniffer app

You can find this binary and the versions for the EU and JA bands of the sniffer app in the next path after installing the KW01 Connectivity Software v1.0.0:

How to download the sniffer application into the USB board?

1. Connect your USB-KW019032 to your PC, MBED (E:) will be detected
2. Drag and drop the Sniffer_usbkw01_US.bin to MBED (E:) using the MSD capabilities of the CMSIS-DAP
3. MBED (E:) will blink, disconnect the board, connect it again and the new firmware will start to run in the KW01

Installing software for the USB-KW019032

In this step, you will be guided to download the software and tools required to build and run the connectivity solutions.

Download KW01 Connectivity Software

The KW01 Connectivity Software package integrates the Kinetis Software Development Kit 1.3 and all the wireless connectivity stacks required to develop your solution using IEEE 802.15.4 and SMAC wireless connectivity stacks.

Want to use a different toolchain?

Right now, the only supported toolchain is IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm; we are currently working on the enablement of NXP KDS for the Connectivity stacks.

PC Configuration

Many of the example applications output data over the MCU UART so you'll want to make sure that the driver for the board's virtual COM port is installed. Before you run the driver installer, you MUST have the board plugged in to your PC.

Download Driver

With the serial port driver installed, run your favorite terminal application to view the serial output from the MCU's UART. Configure the terminal to 115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. To determine the port number of the USB-KW019032's virtual COM port, open the device manager and look under the "Ports" group.
