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 into your PC.
Download DriverWith 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 one stop bit. To determine the port number of the FRDM-KL28Z virtual COM port, open the device manager and look under the "Ports" group.

If one or more of the demo applications or driver examples sounds interesting, you probably want to know how you can build and debug yourself. The Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK guide provides easy, step-by-step instructions on how to configure, build, and debug demos for all toolchains supported by the SDK.
Use the guide below to learn how to open, build, and debug a USB PD example application using the MCUXpresso IDE.
The USB Type-C PD stack needs one provider and one consumer, 'repeat steps 1 through 6' to program the second board.
