MCX041 LIN Slave

benrobbins — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 23:31:18 GMT

I am wanting to implement a low-cost encoder driver. MCX chips are very affordable with what I am trying to build but I am finding that driver support for LIN is only for S32/EVK based hardware. Has anyone had any success porting this to an MCX powered board?

Along with that, are there major hardware considerations with building this? I am already running into SRAM issue and freertos. 2KB is a very small amount for this chip. I'm new but very much want to succeed with this project

Hello @benrobbins ,

Thanks for your post. We currently do not have any application notes or demo projects specifically for the MCXC LIN slave.
However, the MCXC family uses the LPUART module to support LIN slave operation, which is similar to the implementation in the Kinetis KL series. Therefore, you can refer to KL series LIN slave simply usage sharing

Hope it helps.
