I was at a conference organized by Freescale. I wrote about it earlier here.
What they did not write, it seemed only a small inconvenience with the Freedom board what they give away. I could not breathe into life the OpenSDA debug firmware. Finaly I loaded on my neighbor's the machine. I thought, I screwed up something for sure.
Since then, it turned out that it was not my mistake, but also ran into this issue:

So the Win8.1 and OpenSDA not love each other. :-(
For now there is no solution, so the upgrade of my developer machine is a question.
