NXP Freedom-K64F MCU Development Board FRDM-K64F

The NXP Freedom-K64F is a development board based on the Kinetus K24, K63 and K64 microcontrollers (MCUs). This board is ideal for rapidly developing designs for embedded operating systems and IoT (Internet-of-Things) applications.

What is the K64 MCU?
The Kinetis K series of microcontrollers are based on the Arm Cortex-M4 core. They are ideal for use in applications which require large memory densities and low-power processing efficiency.
This particular board houses the MK64FN1M0VLL12 MCU from the Kinetis K64 series. It is a 120MHz MCU with 1MB Flash and 256KB SRAM memory. The MK64FN1M0VLL12 is in a 100-pin LQFP package. This MCU is ideal for applications that require low-power USB or Ethernet connectivity.

Which Operating Systems does the FRDM-K64 use?
The FRDM-K64 can be used with the Kinetis Software Development Kit (SDK). It is also compatible with Arm Mbed OS and Zephyr OS.
