NXP Semiconductors FRDM-MCXA156 Development Board
NXP Semiconductors FRDM-MCXA156 Development Board enables rapid prototyping of MCX A144/5/6 A154/5/6 Microcontrollers (MCUs). This compact and scalable board features industry-standard headers for accessing the MCU's I/Os, integrated open-standard serial interfaces, an onboard MCU-Link debugger, and external flash memory. The FRDM-MCXA156 board is compatible with Arduino boards (Arduino UNO R3 and Arduino A4/A5), motor control boards (FRDM-MC-LVBLDC and FRDM-MC-LVPMSM), Pmod boards, and Mikroe click boards.
The FRDM-MCXA156 board uses an OnBoard (OB) debug probe and MCU-link OB, which is based on the LPC55S69 MCU, to debug the MCXA156 MCU. This board can be used with MCUXpresso IDE, IAR Embedded Workbench, and Arm® Keil MDK. The FRDM-MCXA156 board is used in Air Conditioners (ACs), Brushless DC (BLDC) motor control, electricity meters, motor drives, and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs).
