FRDM-MCXA156

FRDM-MCXA156 is a compact and scalable development board for rapid prototyping of MCX A144/5/6 A154/5/6 MCUs. The FRDM-MCXA156 board is a design and evaluation platform based on the NXP MCXA156 microcontroller (MCU). The MCXA156 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 96MHz. It supports industrial communication protocol, brushless direct current (BLDC) motor / permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control, and integrated sensor interfaces (MIPI I3C, 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.
