A development plat form which enables designers to easily add Zigbee or 802.15.4 connectivity to electronics designs has been launched by Farnell element14 and NXP. The Freedom Development Platform for Kinetis KW2x MCUs contains two boards, enabling point-to-point out of the box connectivity. It has a diverse reference design with all the necessary I/O connections for use as a self-contained board or for connection to an external application.

The FRDM-KW24D512 is a development platform based on the MKW24D512 Kinetis W Series microcontroller and is enabled by software support for Thread, ZigBee Pro, 802.15.4 MAC, SMAC and Kinetis Software Development Kit (SDK).

Kinetis MKW24D512 MCU is a low-power, compact integrated device consisting of a high-performance 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio transceiver and a powerful ARM Cortex-M4 core system with connectivity and precision mixed-signal analogue peripherals.

FRDM-KW24D512 evaluation boards are designed to work either in standalone mode or as part of the Freedom development platforms for quick application prototyping.

It supports the MKW24D512 Kinetis microcontroller (up to 50 MHz Cortex-M4 MCU, 512 KB Flash), offers a full IEEE 802.15.4 compliant wireless node and an integrated PCB inverted F-type antenna and SMA RF port.
