Using standalone KL05s

Hi,

I was wondering if I could add a MKL05 (like http://uk.farnell.com/freescale-semiconductor/mkl05z32vlc4/mcu-kinetis-l-cortex-m0-32lqfp/dp/2253371 this) on a board I designed and then program it with mbed code via the FRDM-MKL05Z?

Thanks

Yes, no problem at all. See the link below for the KL25Z, exactly the same process.

With the FRDM-KL05Z board, depending on your board revision you may need to modify it a little, see link below.

The default clock source set up is using the external 32kHz crystal, for accurate Ticker, Timer and RTC functions it is better to use your chip with this set up. However you can change the clock source in the mbed library to use the internal IRC clock source either 32kHz or 4Mhz. That will save on component count and board wiring complexity.

Excellent! Thanks for the quick answer!
