Today at the annual Freescale Technology Forum (FTF) in Dallas, Texas, Freescale is releasing a brand new mbed enabled Freedom development platform, the FRDM-K64F. This development board is based on the ARM Cortex-M4 with FPU and DSP instructions and is the first of its kind in the Kinetis Series K6x MCU family. Best of all, this development board includes a RF expansion connector and a Bluetooth expansion connector allowing easier development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Additional sensors and connectivity options are USB Host, USBDevice, RGB LED, Freescale FXOS8700CQ Inertial Sensor (accelerometer + magnetometer), Ethernet with PHY and magnetics, SD card and compatibility with Arduino shields.

See all mbed enabled FRDM boards, here.

If you are attending the Freescale Technology Forum (FTF) this week, make sure to stop by the Tech Lab and explore the FRDM-K64F platform and mbed enablement in the “Mountain demo”. Also, make sure to register for the Hands-On Workshop with mbed, ‘From Rapid Prototyping to Production’ on Friday, April 11 at 9:30am in Texas Ballroom 5 (session FTF-SDS-F0107).
