USB-KW40Z: Bluetooth Low Energy/IEEE^® 802.15.4 Packet Sniffer USB Dongle for Kinetis^® KW40Z/30Z/20Z MCUs

Overview

The USB-KW40Z is a development platform enabled by the Kinetis^® W series KW40Z/30Z/20Z (KW40Z) family built on the Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+ processor in a convenient USB dongle form factor. The USB-KW40Z can be used as a Bluetooth^® Smart/Bluetooth^® Low Energy and/or IEEE^® 802.15.4 packet sniffer or development board. Packet sniffers are essential for wireless network development allowing over-the-air traffic monitoring.

Note: K32W061/41 is preferred for any new Zigbee^®, Thread and Bluetooth^® LE 5.0 design. No new software releases planned
