5.3.1 Running over the GUI and the different commands
1. Make sure that bundle FRDM-24XS4-SW.spi is loaded on your SPIGen interface
2. The software presents some basic SPI commands for quick evaluation of MC24XS4
devices in addition with access to I/Os with extra pins. Use single command or batch
command to send commands continuously in a configurable loop.
3. Set RSTB to HIGH inside the extra pins box and go to the batch commands page. In
order to initialize the device with internal clock for PWM and disable the watchdog,
select the batch file 'init'.
4. Now you can either try the batch sequence 'flasher' that toggle the output ON/OFF at
1 Hz or try various presaved commands on 'single command' pane.
6 Using Kinetis design studio and Processor Expert
The 36 V eXtreme switch component for MC24XS4 devices family handles initialization,
runtime configuration and diagnosis of the device via SPI, feedback measurement and
direct input control.
Under the jump start section, there is a basic software sample that can be used for easy
start of using this hardware with Kinetis design studio. This software example in the
component package is intended for Kinetis design studio 3.2.0.
This section describes how to import the component and software example into Kinetis
design studio. For more information about 36 V eXtreme switch component, installation
and usage of Kinetis design studio, see user guides dedicated for Freedom usage with
KDS at

6.1 Setting up the software
Before any evaluation on FRDM-24XSMBEVB board, you need the following:
1. Kinetis design studio 3.2.0 or higher installed:
2. Download example project and 36 V eXtreme switch component
SW‑KDS‑MC24XS4.zip
file and unzip it into your computer:

36 V eXtreme switch is an analog software component that contains low-level drivers
used to make device operational in an easy and quick way.
6.2 Import the project example with CodeWarrior
This portion of the user guide depicts how to import a software example dedicated for this
hardware and connections.
