Install SoftwareThe NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.
This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the KITFS85FRDMEVM evaluation board.

The KITFS85FRDMEVM provides flexibility to play with all the features of the device and make measurements on the main part of the application. The KL25Z MCU installed on the board, combined with the FlexGUI software allows access to the registers in read and write mode. All regulators are accessible through connectors. Nonuser signal, like DC/DC switcher node is mapped on test points. Digital signals (SPI, I2C, RSTB, etc.) are accessible through connectors. WAKE1
pin has a switch to control (Ignition) them. A VBAT switch is available to power ON or OFF the device.
This board can be operated in Emulation mode or in OTP mode. In emulation mode, as long as the power is supplied, the board configuration stays valid. The OTP mode uses the fused configuration. The device can be fused three times. In OTP mode, the device always starts with the fused configuration, except if the user wants to overwrite OTP configuration using Emulation mode. This board is able to fuse the OTP without any extra tools or boards.
