The FRDM-MCXW71 is a compact and scalable development board for rapid prototyping of systems based on the MCX W71 family of wireless microcontrollers from NXP Semiconductors.
The FRDM-MCXW71 offers easy evaluation of the MCX W71 multi-protocol RF communications capabilities, as the MCU supports the Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, Thread and Matter wireless protocols.
The board includes an onboard MCU-Link debugger, and Arduino, mikroBUS™ and Pmod™ headers for easy access to the MCU I/Os. NXP also provides the board with an accelerometer and a temperature sensor for use in the application, as well as an 8 Mbyte MX25R6435FM2IL0 external SPI Flash memory.
Multiple add-on boards are available and the FRDM-MCXW71 is backed by a rich set of software resources:
The MCX W71x MCUs feature a 96 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 CPU core coupled with a multi-protocol radio subsystem supporting Matter, Thread, Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy communication. The independent radio subsystem, which has a dedicated CPU core and memory, relieves the main processor of the burden of radio system control.
The MCX W71x MCUs also offer advanced security with an integrated EdgeLock® secure enclave core profile. They will be supported by NXP EdgeLock 2GO cloud services for credential sharing.
The MCX W71x family supports industrial and IoT devices as a single-chip solution or by acting as a co-processor in a hosted architecture.
