The NXP Freedom development platform is a set of software and hardware tools for evaluation and development. It is ideal for rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based applications. The NXP Freedom KL03Z hardware, FRDM-KL03Z, is a simple, yet sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis L series MCU, built on the ARM® Cortex®-M0+ core. Processor Expert is a simplified code initialization tool designed to provide 80% of the required firmware from NXP, allowing designers to focus on the 20% of their own internal code that truly differentiates their products. Solutions Advisor is a web based tool, available on the NXP website, that allows designers the ability to identify the ideal Kinestis solution, be defining the operating characteristics of the device they need, memory configuration, analog, communications and clock peripherals. In addition, it directs them to the associated hardware and software tools and documentation and verifies pin muxing compatibility.
