FRDM-KL26Z
Overview
The FRDM-KL26Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for the Kinetis L series KL16 and KL26 microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ core. This board features the NXP Freedom form factor, which is compatible with Arduino R3 pin layouts and includes an integrated OpenSDA debug adapter.
Why Choose This Part
This board provides a cost-effective entry point to the Kinetis ecosystem with a maximum clock speed of 48MHz and 96.09KB of Flash memory. Its compatibility with Arduino shields and the built-in OpenSDA interface eliminates the need for an external debugger while providing virtual serial port and mass storage capabilities.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin development, connect the board via the OpenSDA USB port to a PC and use NXP MCUXpresso IDE or the Mbed online compiler. The board is pre-loaded with a demonstration program that utilizes the onboard sensors and RGB LED to verify hardware functionality immediately.
