NXP Device Overview

NXP's Arm-based portfolio offers the highest level of integration and the broadest range of performance. Our development tools provide comprehensive support for NXP device families in a complete development environment for creating, debugging and verifying embedded applications.

While MDK supports all microcontroller devices (LPC, Kinetis, i.MXRT, and S32K), Arm DS adds support for heterogeneous (Arm Cortex-A and Cortex-M based) devices and catalog Arm Cortex-A devices.

Introduction to an Open Approach for Low-Power IoT Development

Introduction to an Open Approach to Low-Power IoT Development

Today, embedded developers start with low-cost evaluation boards utilizing reference designs that are based on open source software. For rapid IoT device development, scaling of these reference designs to cost-optimized and resource-constrained, high-volume production is critical.

Watch Reinhard Keil's presentation at the NXP Connects 2020 to learn more about how to deploy low-power IoT devices more quickly in the field (registration required).
