FRDM-K28F: NXP^® Freedom Development Board for Kinetis^® K27 and K28 MCUs

Overview

The FRDM-K28F is a low cost development board for Kinetis K27 and K28 high-performance microcontrollers based on Arm^® Cortex^®-M4

Enable rapid prototyping, including a 6-axis digital accelerometer and magnetometer to create full eCompass capabilities, dual role high-speed and full-speed USB interface with Micro-B USB connector, a microSD card slot a tri-colored LED and two user push-buttons for direct interaction, 1x256Mb QuadSPI external flash, Mobile SDRAM, FlexIO-based LCD socket, and light sensor
Form-factor compatible with the Arduino^® Rev3 pin layout
Feature Core Voltage Bypass (Available on K28 only)
Include NXP open source hardware embedded serial and debug adapter (OpenSDAv2.2) running an open source bootloader, which offers options for serial communication, flash programming, and run-control debugging

The FRDM-K28F is enabled using NXP MCUXpresso Config Tools, MCUXpresso SDK, Power Estimation Tool, and MCUXpresso IDE and a large software partner ecosystem (please check Download tab).
