FRDM-K20D50M: Freedom Development Platform for the Kinetis^® K20 USB MCUs

Overview

The FRDM-K20D50M is an ultra-low-cost development platform enabled by the K20 USB MCU family built on the Arm^® Cortex^®-M4 processor.

Features the OpenSDA, with easy access to MCU I/O, battery-ready, low-power operation, a standard-based form factor with expansion board options and a built-in debug interface for flash programming and run-control.

Processor Expert^® component for low voltage H-Bridge products enables rapid embedded application development.

NOTE: This product is no longer manufactured by NXP^®; limited stock may be available through NXP distribution partners. For similar development tools, consider the FRDM-K22F based on the Kinetis^® K22 MCU or the FRDM-K64F based on the Kinetis K64 MCU.

NXP Sensor Fusion Library for Kinetis MCUs for release 5.0^{(REV
0.7
)}

Sensor Fusion is the process where data from everal different sensors are fused to complete computations that a single sensor could not handle. An example of sensor fusion is computing the orientation of a device in 3-dimensional space using an accelerometer and magnetometer. That data might then be used to alter the perspective presented by a 3D GUI or game.
