I have began my transition to the 32 bit world by using a Teensy 3.1 board. Now the question I have is what if I wanted to branch out to a chip that does not have a dev board? I can find a FRDM-K2D50M dev board, which has a very similar chip, but I was thinking that I need a chip that is smaller. What happens then? I need get a JTAG, that I know, but do I need something else special to get me to compile and upload to the chip? Is this something that Freescale would give me or is this something I need to develop on my own? It does not have to be Freescale, but I am sort of confused as to what I need to do to get a brand new project going on a specific chip that is not on a dev board. Hopefully it is not a dumb question, but Arduino and PIC made things a little to easy.
Thanks!
Hello gibson486,
first of all, if you are using our Keil tools, you could use the simulator to just simulate a Cortex-M core or a list of selected devices.
If you are looking for real hardware, check out our boards database that contains information about supported development boards. Apart from that, guys like Newark/element14 have comprehensive lists of development boards that you could start with.
Kind regards,

Hi
Get this document: www.keil.com/appnotes/docs/apnt_232.asp
Check out pages 25 through 28.
I need to update it to later version of Keil MDK...but ought to work for you.
This is assuming you are using Keil MDK with Software Packs.
