FRDM-MCXA166
Overview
The FRDM-MCXA166 board is a design and evaluation platform based on the NXP MCXA166 microcontroller (MCU). The MCXA166 MCU is a low-power microcontroller for industrial and consumer Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It has one Arm Cortex-M33 core running at speeds of up to 180 MHz. It supports industrial communication protocol, brushless direct current (BLDC) motor / permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control, and integrated sensor interfaces (I2C, and SPI).
The board is compatible with Arduino boards (Arduino UNO R3 and Arduino A4/A5), motor control boards (FRDM-MC-LVBLDC and FRDM-MC-LVPMSM), Mikroe click boards, and Pmod boards. It can be used with a wide range of development tools, including NXP MCUXpresso IDE, IAR Embedded Workbench, and Arm Keil MDK. The board is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
For debugging the MCXA166 MCU, the FRDM-MCXA166 board uses an onboard (OB) debug probe, MCU-Link lite OB, which is based on another NXP MCU: LPC55S16
