Anyone who has ever used a microcontroller for project builds has probably come across development boards that promise speed, flexibility and low power but have come up short, especially if they need to scale. NXP’s FRDM Development Board Ecosystem can help mitigate those issues by offering a family of low-cost, open-source development boards designed to help users prototype, test, and build embedded applications quickly and efficiently.
According to NXP, FRDM development boards include low-cost, compact MCU and MPU boards with an easy development journey and extensive ecosystem to simplify designs. The company’s FRDM ecosystem includes comprehensive software and tools, modular hardware and access to solution-driven examples.
All boards are designed around one of NXP’s microcontrollers or application processors, including the MCX, Kinetis, LPC, and i.MX9x series. They also feature Arduino-compatible headers for expansion add-on boards, onboard debuggers (OpenSDA or MCU-Link), support for a myriad of IDEs and operating systems (MCUXpresso, Zephyr, Mbed OS, Arduino, etc.) and integrated sensors, audio, Ethernet, CAN, and USB ports.
To that end, the element 14 community is hosting a quiz contest on how much knowledge readers know about NXP’s FDRM ecosystem, including components and more. Not to worry, the community has provided resources to help participants gain insight to help along the way. The quiz-taker who scores the highest will walk away with a MULTICOMP PRO handheld oscilloscope! For more information and to participate in the quiz, please visit the element 14 quiz page here.
