Easily replace existing 8/16-bit performance with 32-bit
Affordable development platform for Kinetis K66, K65, and K26 MCUs

Online electronic components shopping mall element14 (http://kr.element14.com/) and NXP announced the launch of the K66F Freedom development platform for Kinetis K66, K65, and K26 MCUs, which delivers optimal performance, flexible integration, and low power.

The NXP K66F Freedom development platform is particularly suited for developing low-cost, low-power applications that replace 8/16-bit devices with 32-bit performance, particularly in applications such as building control, factory automation, industrial drivers, IoT data concentrators, and medical monitoring.

The hardware design of the FRDM-K66F for Kinetis K66, K65, and K26 is compatible with the Arduino™ form factor, supports Ethernet and crystal-less USB, and features flexible and secure OpenSDA to simplify code development.

It provides audio features including an audio codec, a digital MEMS microphone, an auxiliary audio input jack, a headset/analog microphone jack, and two input ports for additional analog microphones.

It supports peripherals for rapid prototyping, including a 6-axis digital accelerometer and magnetometer capable of implementing full electronic compass functionality, a dual-role high-speed USB interface with a Micro-B USB connector, a Micro-SD card slot, an onboard Ethernet port and header for Bluetooth, and a 2.4GHz wireless add-on module.

NX running open source bootloaderP's open source hardware embedded serial and debug adapter OpenSDA 2.1 provides serial communication, flash programming, and run-control debugging options.

This new kit represents the latest addition to element14's range of solutions, from starter kits to complete development boards, including the latest versions and exclusive bundles available on element14's Design Center (www.element14.com/designcenter).
