FRDM-K82F
Overview
The FRDM-K82F is a low-cost development platform for the Kinetis K80, K81, and K82 MCUs, which are based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core running at up to 150 MHz. This board is specifically designed to evaluate hardware-accelerated security features and flexible serial communication in a form factor compatible with Arduino R3 pin headers.
Why Choose This Part
This platform features a crystal-less USB design and a built-in ROM bootloader to simplify firmware updates and reduce BOM costs. It includes significant memory resources with 256KB of SRAM and 256KB of Flash, along with dedicated hardware for cryptographic acceleration that offloads security tasks from the main core.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is supported by NXP's MCUXpresso software and tools, which provide a comprehensive suite for Kinetis MCUs. The board features an onboard OpenSDA debug adapter for easy programming and debugging via USB without needing an external probe.
Also Consider
NXP USA Inc.
- A similar Kinetis Freedom board featuring Ethernet connectivity but with a slightly slower 120 MHz core.
NXP USA Inc.
- A more cost-effective Freedom board based on the Cortex-M0+ for applications that do not require high-performance DSP or hardware security acceleration.
