Development board targets USB applications

A new development board featuring a Freescale Kinetis K next-generation microcontroller and crystal-less USB controller is now available from Farnell element14.  The Freescale Freedom FRDM-K22F is targeted at USB applications that require a high level of integration and the lower-power capabilities of the new generation of ARM Cortex-M4 core; @120MHz with Floating Point Unit and embeds 512KB Flash and 128KB RAM in a LQFP64 package.

The development board features a 6-axis accelerometer and magnetometer, RGB LED and Arduino R3 I/O connectors, and the new OpenSDAv2 serial and debug interface. It is suited for applications which require a high performance and low-power MCU, including home and building automation; industrial / commercial sensor nodes; Internet-of-things data concentrators; health and wellness monitors, sports and activity wearables and gaming accessories

“We are excited to work with Freescale on their latest MCU development tools as we continue to add the newest solutions to our portfolio, known to be the largest available anywhere.  Freescale’s high-performance Kinetis K series of scalable MCUs are extremely versatile and engineers will welcome the flexibility for optional add-on modules,” said David Shen, Group Chief Technology Officer at Premier Farnell.

K22F out-of-box demo applications include Bubble level – red and green LEDs indicating level; eCompass – indicating magnetic north; USB CDC demo – second serial terminal; Metal detector -direction and distance to a metal object; Stopwatch – a real-time counter with 1/100th of a second precision and air mouse – a USB mouse to determine where/how to move the cursor
