NXP FRDM-KW41Z Shield
#####################
Overview
********
The FRDM-KW41Z is a development kit enabled by the Kinetis |reg| W series
KW41Z/31Z/21Z (KW41Z) family built on ARM |reg| Cortex |reg|-M0+ processor with
integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver supporting Bluetooth |reg| Smart/Bluetooth
|reg| Low Energy
(BLE) v4.2, Generic FSK, IEEE |reg| 802.15.4 and Thread.
The FRDM-KW41Z can be used as a standalone board or as an Arduino shield. This
document covers usage as a shield; see :ref:`frdm_kw41z` for usage as a
standalone board.
Bluetooth Controller
********************
To use the FRDM-KW41Z as a Bluetooth low energy controller shield with a serial
host controller interface (HCI):
#. Download the MCUXpresso SDK for FRDM-KW41Z from the `MCUXpresso SDK Builder
Website`_.
#. Open the MCUXpresso IDE or IAR project in
:file:`boards/frdmkw41z/wireless_examples/bluetooth/hci_black_box/bm`
#. Open :file:`source/common/app_preinclude.h` and add the following line:
.. code-block:: console
#define gSerialMgrRxBufSize_c 64
#. Build the project to generate a binary :file:`hci_black_box_frdmkw41z.bin`.
#. Connect the FRDM-KW41Z board to your computer with a USB cable. A USB mass
storage device should enumerate.
#. Program the binary to flash by copying it to the USB mass storage device.
#. Remove the USB cable to power down the board.
#. Configure the jumpers J30 and J31 such that:
- J30 pin 1 is attached to J31 pin 2
- J30 pin 2 is attached to J31 pin 1
The jumpers should be parallel to the Arduino headers. This configuration
routes the UART RX and TX signals to the Arduino header, rather than to the
OpenSDA circuit.
#. Attach the FRDM-KW41Z to the Arduino header on your selected main board,
such as :ref:`mimxrt1050_evk` or :ref:`frdm_k64f`.
#. Set ``-DSHIELD=frdm_kw41z`` when you invoke ``west build`` in
your Zephyr bluetooth application. For example,
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/peripheral_hr
:board: frdm_k64f
:shield: frdm_kw41z
:goals: build
