NXP Semiconductors FRDM-MCXA174 MCU Development Board

NXP Semiconductors FRDM-MCXA174 MCU Development Board is a compact and scalable board for rapid prototyping of MCX A173 and A174 microcontroller units (MCUs). These boards offer industry-standard headers for easy access to the MCUs I/Os, integrated open-standard serial interfaces, external Flash memory, and an onboard MCU-Link debugger. Additional tools, such as NXP Semiconductors' Expansion Board Hub (EBH) for add-on boards and the Application Code Hub (ACH) for software examples, are available through the MCUXpresso Developer Experience.
