The Kinetis KwikStik is a cost-effective development tool for the Kinetis family of MCUs. It

features the K40X256VLQ100 (144LQFP) MCU with USB, capacitive touch sensing and

segment LCD functionality. The KwikStik can function either as a standalone development

tool or with the Freescale Tower System (freescale.com/tower). The J-Link™ debug interface

can be used to program the on-board K40X256 MCU or an external Kinetis MCU. Explore the

Kinetis KwikStik DVD to find software installer and documentation. For additional information
