NXP FRDM-K64F Support from Simulink Coder

Run models on the NXP FRDM-K64F board

Capabilities and Features

You can design models in Simulink, generate code, and run the executables on NXP FRDM-K64F, a low-cost microcontroller that is suitable for controls applications. The capabilities include automated build and execution, processor-optimized code for ARM® Cortex-M, block libraries for on-chip and on-board peripherals, real-time scheduling from CMSIS-RTOS RTX, deployment support and real-time parameter tuning, and signal monitoring when tethered to Simulink.

The supported peripherals and key features for the NXP FRDM-K64F board are:

  • Deterministic real-time execution at rates reaching 1kHz
  • High-performance signal monitoring (20 signals at 100Hz)
  • Digital input/outputs
  • Analog input/outputs
  • PWM outputs
  • TCP/IP and UDP blocks
  • I2C read/write
  • Serial receive/transmit
  • Quadrature encoder
  • On-board accelerometer, magnetometer, and push button(s)
  • SD card logging

The following two examples will help you get started:

Simulink Coder hardware support packages offer built-in, limited, support for specific hardware, schedulers, and compilers. MathWorks Consulting Services is available to help with extensions to other environments.

About NXP FRDM-K64F

NXP FRDM-K64F is a low-cost development platform for Kinetis K64 MCUs that is compatible with the Arduino R3 layout. FRDM-K64F is powered by a ARM® Cortex-M processor that runs at 120MHz. It has 1MB of flash memory and provides peripheral connectivity for RGB LED, FXOS8700CQ accelerometer and magnetometer, user push buttons, analog I/O, and digital I/O. Optional sensor, RF, and Bluetooth modules are available.
