NXP Freedom Boards

FRDM-K64F

FRDM-K64F MCU board

The Freedom-K64F is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis MCUs, form-factor compatible with the Arduino R3, embedding a 6-axis MEMs, a RGB LED, 2 user push-buttons, a microSD card slot and targeting connectivity with onboard Ethernet and USB connectors. It integrates the multimode OpenSDA debug adapter offering serial communication, flash programming, and run-control debugging.

FRDM-STBC-AGM01

FRDM-STBC-AGM01 Sensor shield

The FRDM-STBC-AGM01 is a development board for the FXAS21002C 3-axis gyroscope and FXOS8700C integrated e-compass. The board enables 9-axis sensing and is supported by Our Sensor Toolbox software, Intelligent Sensing Framework lSF 2.0, and the Sensor Fusion Library for Kinetis MCUs.

FRDM-CR20A

FRDM-CR20A Wireless shield

The Freedom development board platform supports the MCR20A 2.4GHZ wireless transceiver. The FRDM-CR20A evaluation board is a small, low-power, cost-effective reference design for the MCR20A transceiver in a shield form factor, compatible with existing Freedom development platforms, like FRDM-K64F.


NXP ICs

Kinetis K64F MCU

/media/uploads/GregC/k64f_mcu.jpg

The Kinetis K64 is an MCU based on the ARM® Cortex®-M4 core running up to 120 MHz featuring IEEE® 1588 Ethernet, optimization for applications requiring large memory densities and low-power processing efficiency, crystal-less USB design for reduced system cost and board space and the comprehensive enablement and scalability of the Kinetis portfolio

FXOS8700 6-axis Acc/Mag Sensor

/media/uploads/GregC/fxos8700cq_combo.jpg

The FXOS8700CQ 6-axis sensor combines industry-leading accelerometer and magnetometer sensors in a small 3 x 3 x 1.2 mm QFN plastic package. The 14-bit accelerometer and 16-bit magnetometer are combined with a high-performance ASIC to enable an eCompass solution capable of a typical orientation resolution of 0.1° and sub-5° compass heading accuracy for most applications.

FXAS21002 3-axis Gyro Sensor

/media/uploads/GregC/fxas21002_gyro.jpg

The FXAS21002C 3-axis gyroscope extends our family of inertial, magnetic, pressure and touch sensors. Extremely low power operation with advanced embedded features enabling significant system-level power savings. User configurable to generate an interrupt when an event threshold occurs on any one of the sensing axes. Smart sensing technology enables events with durations shorter than the sample time to be captured and processed, reducing the real-time processing requirements of the host

MCR20A 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 Wireless Transceiver

/media/uploads/GregC/mcr20a_radio.jpg

The MCR20A expands the NXP portfolio of wireless connectivity products by delivering a new generation of 2.4 GHz transceiver for the IEEE® 802.15.4 standard. It provides a world-class link budget of 110 dB that ensures the longest range of communication and at the same time, is able to receive and transmit at significantly lower peak currents than other competitive devices. This enables mesh networks to run on the same battery for a much longer period. The Dual PAN support allows the system to concurrently participate in two 802.15.4 networks, eliminating the need for multiple radios.

Seeed Studio Grove extension modules available

Information

To get some Grove modules, you'll need to complete and submit the Team mbed Sensor and Connectivity Form to help their team to anticipate your needs and better understand your project and its challenges.

SEEED STUDIO has recently launched a new family called GROVE of compact Connectivity and Sensor modules, much cheaper (starting $2.90) and smaller than Arduino shields.Up to now the Seeed Grove portfolio includes more than 100 extension solutions!!

Several Grove adapters are available for the major MCU platforms of the market like Arduino, Rasbperry-Pi... to extend your MCU/MPU board with up to 16 grove analog or digital modules. To connect the Grove modules to the FRDM-K64F, we are going to use the Grove Shield v2 compatible with Arduino board pinout.

The mbed repository for the Grove modules covers today 37x Modules with Program Examples and Libraries, which should be easily ported (automatically) for the FRDM-K64F.

Please find below the list of the Program Examples tested with the FRDM-K64F
