The S32K3X4EVB-Q257 is a full-featured evaluation and development board for general purpose industrial and automotive applications.

Based on the 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 S32K3 MCU in a 257 MPABGA package, the full-featured S32K3X4EVB-Q257 offers dual cores configured in lockstep mode, ASIL D safety hardware, HSE security engine, OTA support, advanced connectivity and low power.

The full-featured S32K3X4EVB-Q257 brings a standard-based form factor compatible with the Arduino® UNO pin layout, providing a broad range of expansion board options for quick application prototyping and demonstration.

Offering the S32K3 EVB in two configurations:

  • S32K3X4EVB-Q257: all components populated
  • S32K3X4EVBQ257ND: Kinetis K26 MCU not populated, require using an external debugger like IAR's I-jet, PEmicro's Multilink and CYCLONE FX or CYCLONE LC, Lauterbach's PowerDebug USB 3 and PowerDebug PRO, SEGGER J-Link, iSYSTEM's BlueBoxes iC5000/iC5700, Keil's ULINK, or Green Hills Probe.
