of 120 MHz, 1 MB of flash, 256 KB RAM, a full-speed USB controller, Ethernet controller,

secure digital host controller, and analog and digital peripherals.

The FRDM-K64F hardware is form-factor compatible with the Arduino R3 pin layout,

providing a broad range of expansion board options. The onboard interface includes a

six-axis digital accelerometer & magnetometer, RGB LED, SDHC, add-on Bluetooth

module, add-on RF module, Ethernet and OpenSDAv2, the NXP open-source hardware

embedded serial and debug adapter running an open-source bootloader.

From a hardware perspective, the FRDM-K64F evaluation board can be used in

combination with OM3710/A71CHARD with the dedicated Arduino connectors. From a

software perspective, a MCUXpresso project example is available. This project example

contains the A71CH Host software package in it. The project is ready to be imported,

built, debugged and executed in Kinetis K64 MCU flash memory using MCUXpresso IDE.

OM3710A71CHARD and FRDM-K64F evaluation board.

Kinetis FRDM-KW41Z

The FRDM-KW41Z Freedom development board is a small, low-power, and cost-

effective evaluation and development board for application prototyping and

demonstration of the KW41Z/31Z/21Z (KW41Z) family of devices. The KW41Z integrates

a radio transceiver operating in the 2.36 GHz to 2.48 GHz range (supporting a range of

FSK/GFSK and O-QPSK modulations) and an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU into a single

package.

The FRDM-KW41Z development board consists of the KW41Z device with a 32 MHz

reference oscillator crystal, RF circuitry (including antenna), 4-Mbit external serial flash,

and supporting circuitry in the popular Freedom board form-factor. The board is a
