FRDM-MCXW72

Hello,

I just received two FRDM-MCXW72 boards, I have MCUXpresso for VCS setup and was going to try to compile/run the wireless ranging example. I saw a note that the NBU should be updated to the latest, but in the binaries folder I do not see a file for the FRDM-MCXW72 with HADM in the file name there are only two. and they are:

mcxw72_nbu_ble_all_hosted.bin

mcxw72_nbu_ble_xp_hosted.bin

Does either of these include HADM in them?

Also, when will training materials be available, and when will the FRDM-MCXW72 board be a selection in the SDK builder tool

Hello, hope you are doing well.

To run the wireless ranging examples in MCXW72, the "mcxw72_nbu_ble_all_hosted.bin" file can be used, as this binary file includes supported HADM/CS features. The FRDM-MCXW72 SDK can be downloaded from the MCUXpresso SDK Builder and the binary files are provided in the following SDK path: ../mcuxsdk/middleware/wireless/ble_controller/bin

You can also follow this guide: Wireless ranging demo application setup — MCUXpresso SDK Documentation

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Ana Sofia.
