Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
In this Quick Start Guide, you will learn how to set up the TWR-K60N512
module and run the default demonstration.
STEP
1
Install the Software
and Tools
STEP
Install the P&E Micro Kinetis Tower Toolkit
to install the OSJTAG and USB-to-Serial
drivers. These can be found on the DVD
under Software.
Tilt the board side to side to
see the LEDs on E1–E4 light up as it is
tilted. While the board is held flat, touch
the pads on E1–E4 to toggle the LEDs.
3
Tilt the Board
STEP
STEP
Install the included battery into
the VBAT (RTC) battery holder. Then,
connect one end of the USB cable to
the PC and the other end to the Power/
OSJTAG mini-B connector on the TWR-
K60N512 module. Allow the PC to
automatically configure the USB drivers if
needed.

Configure the Hardware
4
Play the Memory
Game
Press
SW2
to play a memory recall game
using the touch pads
E1–E4.
A sequence
will light up, and then press the touch
pads in the order flashed. If an incorrect
sequence is touched or you take too long,
all the lights will blink rapidly and the
game will reset.
